It's Monday! What Are You Reading? March 21, 2016

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

More snow yesterday and then sunshine today. Ups and downs but we're getting there. Nice weather is just around the corner, right? 

I started putting books up on my new bookshelves. Yay!! 

I found a great app called Libib for keeping track of my books. I just scan them into the app from my phone as I put them on the shelves. I set up separate 'libraries' within the app to help me organize them. So far, I have one for 'Special Authors' - those authors I've made a special connection with and whose books hold a special place in my heart. I also have one set up for my 'Book Club' selections. Hopefully this will help me keep track of what I have to read and I won't have them just piled up on a table. And then I have just a plain 'Library' which is basically all the rest of my books. I am sure I will think of additional groups as I go along. Maybe one for ARCs? And ... I think this will be an excellent way for me to find those duplicate copies that I have that I don't even know. 

Let me know if you've used this app. I would love to hear what others are doing with it.

Well, we had some beautiful, record breaking weather this past week. And now, winter is coming back, We have a chance of snow in the middle of the week. I am sooooo ready for nice weather. I love sitting on my patio with a cold beverage and a wonderful book. That's the best! 

On a happier note, the bookshelves hubby has been building for me are almost to the point where I can start loading books on them. We moved almost 2 years ago now and my books are just piled on the floor and anywhere else I can find space. I am sooooo ready for my books to have a home. Got any tips on how I should arrange them? What do you do?

How did it get to be the end of February already? I'm finally feeling better after getting some antibiotics. Now I just need to focus on getting some reviews written. I have been reading some great books. Spring Break for the University will be coming up soon. That just means it's slower at the library. I really miss the students when they are gone but it does give us a chance to play catch up at work. I hope February was good to you and look out March, here we come!

I have been sick for the past couple of weeks and it turned into a sinus infection. I got me some drugs and I'm finally starting to feel better. This has impacted my reading life and especially my review postings. I hope to get caught up on all that real soon.
