What Are You Reading? ~ May 3, 2017

What are you Reading?  Let me know what your current read is, what you recently finish reading, and what you plan on reading next! 

I didn't post last week because nothing much changed from the week before. I was sucked into the show "13 Reasons Why" and I also volunteered at the LA Festival of Books. :) So, reading kinda fell by the wayside. 

Here's my list: 

I'm currently reading Autumn in the City of Angels by Kirby Howell. I'm loving it! Right from the beginning, it sucked me in! Fun fact: I met the authors of this series at the Festival and got a signed copy! Actually, I bought the whole series. :) So, I'm glad I enjoying this first one! 

I recently finished Leap of Hope by Shannon Winslow. I really enjoy this! I loved that Hope decided to go to 1809 to live! It was fun to see all the nods to Austen's books.  I'm looking forward to reading Leap of Faith the first in the series! 

I also finished reading Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. Loved it!! I started listening to it while I was working out, but I ended up finishing by reading it. I find I can get into a story more by reading it than listening to it.







What's next? I'm not sure. I might continue with the Autumn series.

I'm linking up with This Week In Books hosted by Lipsyy Lost & Found.

And with Sam @ Taking on a World of Words. 

Here are a couple pictures from the Book Festival.

I was an author escort for this lovely lady, Lisa See!

Just before our volunteer shift! 

At The Last Bookstore with Meredith, Dung & Me!

The weekend before the Festival, I met my friend, Meredith from Austenesque Reviews for the first time in person! 

I had a very busy April!

So, tell me, what are you reading? 

Fun times at the LA Festival of Books + GIVEAWAY!

Last Saturday I had a great time at the LA Festival of Books!

Karen Cox,  Julie Cooper,  Lucy Parker,  Gail McEwen,  Michele Reed

I met these lovely ladies at the Meryton Press booth! I had a wonderful time hanging out with them.

At the JASNA-SW booth, I met Syrie James! 

Me and Syrie James

I got quite a few books...

My haul from various booths!

...a Pride and Prejudice shirt (it blends in with my couch, so you can barely see it) and a Mr. Darcy mouse pad drawn by Janet Taylor. 

My bag was pretty heavy carrying it back to my car. I think next year I'll bring a backpack and my messenger bag! It was pretty hot, so maybe I'll wear something a wee bit cooler. 

 This was my first year at the LA Festival of Books, and if I can, I will be back next year!

Meryton Press will be at LA Festival of Books!

Hey Everyone!!  I'm so excite about this! The Los Angeles Festival of Books is April 20-21, 2013! 

Book Festivals are so fun! I love walking around looking at books and meeting authors. But what's most exciting for me is that Meryton Press will have a booth set up! With a couple of their authors! 

Two that should be there are:

Karen M Cox, author of 1932 and Find Wonder in All Things.

Gail McEwen, co-author of Twixt Two Equal Armies, Love Then Begins, and The West Yet Glimmers and author of ...To End All Wars.

They should also have copies of C. P. Odom's new book, A Most Civil Proposal. (my review)


The Meryton Press booth will be set up in the "Gold" area, booth 153.

I'm looking forward to a wonderful time meeting some of my favorite authors and publisher! So, if you are in or around the LA area, this is an event you won't want to miss!

Maybe I'll see you there!
