The fourth Tuesday of each month when I write up this post, I always feel like saying, “By now you know the drill. Link up. Browse the other entries (go spend money on more books).”
However, it seems that each month we have a few new people joining in, and that thrills me!
I want to be sure that anyone who pops in from another post knows what’s going on. If it is your first time, be sure to put that by your name when you link up (for example Jennifer–1st time) so that people will give you some extra attention.
Each month, you can participate by sharing your reading habits with us in one of these ways:
- Give a list (or take a picture) of the stack of books that you are in the process of reading or planning to read (it might be on your nightstand, on a bookshelf, or like me, under your bed).
- Give short reviews of the book or books that you read that month.
- Tell about what you are reading and why. I love to read the backstory on books. Did someone give it to you? Are you trying out a new genre at the recommendation of a friend (or website)? Did you stumble across a new author in a used bookstore?
- Fill us in on your reading habits. When are you reading these books? Is one reserved for bedtime reading? Does one stay in your car to be read while you are waiting? Do you read just one book at a time?
If you write a post and link up here, we’d appreciate a link-back as well. Feel free to grab the graphic (although you don’t have to), and either link to this post or our home page.
The post has gone live the last few months at midnight Eastern, but for the next few months, I’m going to post at 8am Eastern (to give the Eastern and Central time zones a fair shake at posting first).

We host a carnival each Tuesday. Coming soon:
March 31 I Read It!
April 7 Classics Bookclub: Around the World in Eighty Days
April 14 Children’s Classics: Dog stories
Good idea of posting at a different time – seriously! I’m seeing posts go up but I think they might be preprogrammed so….yeah. Good idea!
I really love this carnival. I like to read about all the different books out there and get some good feedback on ones I want to read. Check out my latest recommendation.
Just posted my pile for April, I didn’t do as well as I would have liked in March. Now I’m off to visit other nighstands and add more to the WL. 🙂
Thanks for hosting this!
This is one of my very favorite memes. Looking forward to adding to my tbr list…
OMG! Is it that time of the month already??? Will post mine up soon 😛
Gosh… I love this one. I am not prepared atm to put my post up. I will later today.
I just put mine up – it’s my first month – now I’m off to read everyone else’s and add to my tbr mountain.
This is great – as an avid reader, I like this blog.
And who else but a mother would have read a 900 page book 5 minutes at a time..?
My post for this month is about two great parenting books: the birth to five book and The Parent Trip. I’m looking forward to seeing what others are reading!
just finished my post I didn’t read as many books this month as I thought but have a whole list for this month so here we go
Thanks for hosting this meme. I just got my March/April list up and I hope to find some good books on others’ lists for the huge book sale I am going to in April.
I enjoy reading about all your reads and adding to my to-read pile!!
I’m late, but I’m up!
I’m a bit late, but my post is up! I’m actually doing a giveaway with this one, so that should be fun. 🙂
