Only got 2 reviews done this week. Didn't get as much reading done as I would have liked.  In fact, last night I only had like 5% left in the book I was reading, Phobic, and I couldn't stay awake long enough to finish it. So mad at myself.  So I'll finish it today.  I also didn't get a post every day.  And with my walking, well, it was rainy almost all week again.  

This week on the blog:

• Review of Phobic by Cortney Pearson
• Book Blitz:  Ghosts of July by Megan Applegate
• Waiting on Wednesday
• Book Blitz:  Aftermath by Tom Lewis
• Promo Post:  Revolution by Randi Cooley Wilson

It is going to be a pretty busy week.  It is the last week of school, and I work two nights at the bookstore.  Tuesday night I'm going to the NKOTB concert.  Wednesday night I have to drive across town and drop off one of my dogs at the breeder before I go out of town on Friday.  The other dog stays with a friend closer to my house, and I'll drop her off Thursday night on my way to work at the bookstore.  Friday is teachers only, and we can leave when everything is checked in and grades are finished. Since I don't really have either of those things to do, I'm going to go in for a couple hours and then drive on down to meet my family in Branson for the weekend.  We stay in these cabins on the river, and there should be lots of reading time this weekend!

My fit/walking goals:
Not sure I'll get much done this week.  It is supposed to be nice this afternoon, so I'm going to try to get out and do that this afternoon. But then I may not have time until Wednesday, but with dropping Argyle off later in the evening, I kind of want to be home to spend time with him instead of away walking.  I'll try to walk down the street by our cabins in Branson, but that will probably be about it for this week.  Once school is out though, I hope to start being much better and routine about my walking.  I also want to continue the Run Walk Run program.

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews.  It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected.  No physical books really this week, other than some coloring books I got for my family to use in Branson this weekend.  

 Yeah, that's a lot of books, but none are added to my TBR list, so it's okay that I bought them.  Plus it will give the adults stuff to color while the kids are coloring.

Ebooks for Review:

Free e-books:

I  haven't read the Alienated series yet, but I want to, so downloaded this free novella.  The other one I thought would be fun to get a look at what authors and publishers can use.

So that is what I added to my shelves this week, although the coloring books probably won't actually go on my bookshelves.  Have you gotten into the adult coloring book trend yet?  What books did you get this week? 
 

A Thursday with no must-see tv

Summer has been weird with nothing to watch on Thursday nights. I mean, from September till May, I usually have so many shows on at the same time that I have to record 2 on the DVR and one on the VCR in my bedroom. Makes me want uverse, but I don't want to switch email and all that stuff. I'm so eager though, for fall tv to get going. Survivor, The Office, Supernatural, all the other shows as well. As soon as Entertainment Weekly puts out the new fall schedule, I'll post on here what "my" fall tv schedule will be.

Got quite a bit done at school today, but not near as ready as I'd like to be. So tomorrow I'll go walk, going to try to do 10 miles, maybe weigh in, lunch, and then go into my classroom for a few hours. Don't know if we're doing movies tomorrow night. I hope so, I really want to see The Time Traveler's Wife.

Got my hair done tonight. It looks really cute, my hairstylist took a picture, I'm just waiting for her to post it on Facebook, so maybe tomorrow night I'll post it in my blog.

My hip/leg hurts a lot. This morning it hurt so bad I wanted to just scream in pain. It still isn't doing great. So I think tomorrow I'll call my doctor and tell her the Celebrex isn't helping at all. I did some online research into the sacroiliac joint issue, and the prognosis is kinda scary to me. The physical therapy sounds really painful, although I saw suggestions of massage unlike what my doctor said. I see it could have something to do with driving long distances. And I think it first started bothering me after a couple long trips I made. Maybe next Memorial Day, if school gets out earlier like it's supposed to, I can maybe ride with someone else to Branson instead of driving myself.

Not sure what else to talk about right now, kind of a boring day. So I'll try to write more later.
