Hi Everyone,

I've been cutting down on review commitments and being very selective with the books that I do accept for review. The last few weeks, I received 3 books, all of which I'm very excited to read.


Happy reading!

I'm currently reading:

    The Darlings is supposed to be outstanding. My sister loved The Crown - I hope you do too.

    Web of Angels by Lilian Nattel is on my radar since Beth Kephart talked about it on her blog.

    Looks like we're on the same boat, accepting review requests. I recently had to go on a NetGalley ban. The Darlings looks really good. Happy Reading!

    Jennifer I have only heard of the Darlings the others are new to me titles. I am in that same position as you on being very selective of what I am accepting to review. Happy reading :)

    I have started to cut way back on review books too. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed myself! These look like great reads!

    Good for you being more selective Jennifer! It's so easy to get caught up in accepting requests and making requests and then suddenly you have more books to read than time to read them:( Looking forward to seeing what you think of all these!

    Oooohhhh, you have some really cool books in your mailbox this week! I'm pretty behind on my review books too LOL so it's really smart of you to be cutting back on them -- I wish I could manage the restraint! x) But all three of the ones that you DO have sound really great!

    Awesome mailbox, Mrs. Q! I hope you enjoy every single book that you got! :)

    I'm with you on being selective with review books. I took a blogging break and have been working on reading my own books and catching up. The Darlings is tempting me:)

    I love the cover for The Darlings! I collect old black and white photos of NYC (if that is NYC). I have had The Crown on my wishlist forever. I can't wait to see what you think of it!

    I've been so neglectful with The Darlings. I've had it for a couple of weeks and only started it today. I fail.

    I wanted to read The Darlings too but I had already accepted too many too many books this year, for now anyway. I hope it's as good as it sounds.
