What's a blog tour? Do you go around the country reviewing books?"

A blog tour is when an author or publishing company give out copies of their books in exchange for an honest review. They schedule a list of bloggers and the bloggers post their reviews on their blogs on their assigned days. That way people can go from blog to blog and read reviews, excerpts, promotional posts about the books, and many times enter giveaways. It's fun. =]

I am going to list the dates that I will have my first books read by in case you need to know for the spreadsheet. I am on some blog tours for these books so I have to have them read by the dates below. =]

I am not going to be able to read because it is an ARC that the publisher is now sending me in April instead of March. I did read a couple of new books last weekend though that were not on my original list if you want to add them to the spreadsheet. I added them above. Hopefully they take the place of Keeper of the Mist.

I do still plan to read The Raven Boys, but it probably won't be until the last few days of the month. I am reading the Storm Siren series right now and I am halfway through book 2. I need to finish this series before I start on The Raven Boys. If you need to move around things then go right ahead. =]

Yay for the holidays! My kids just had their spring break. I came down with acute bronchitis and acute sinusitis this week, so for the next few days I will be in bed reading. I hope that everyone is having a nice weekend.

I am currently reading these:

How is everyone else's week going? I am going to be doing some speed reading this weekend for some blog tours that I have going on next week. I am going to knock out the two series above. I think that they are going to be good. =]

Thank you, Anne. I appreciate that. I am taking my medicine and resting, so it should pass quickly.

Thanks, Divya. My leg still hurts a bit, but not as bad thankfully. =] Over the last 24 hours I came down with a cold too, so I am hoping to feel myself again in a day or two. =]

Thanks, Caroline. =]

Sorry for being MIA most of this week. I fell down a flight of stairs and hurt my leg. I have been so out of it. I did get to read one book though while I was in bed:

Nice to meet everyone!

I'm Vanessa from Team Glee.

My fondest reading memories involve my Granny. She would read a book every single day. Mostly romance novels. She could read so fast! She would take me to the used book store every week and buy me as many books as I wanted. Then she would take me to the mall and take me to all of the bookstores in the mall. Then we would go to Books-A-Million and then stop by Sam's Club to check out the books there. It was a full day event and we went every weekend when I was a child up through high school. It really cemented my love for reading and for books in general. When we weren't out buying books we were talking about them. I would hang out at her house and we would read our books, bake cookies, and chat about our books. We had so many inside jokes about the books that we read and we talked about them and laughed for years. I hope to be the same kind of grandmother and share my love of books with the ones that I love.

I added some books to my March Reads list on the first page of the comments. I will determine which hands they fit into within the next couple of days. =]
