Despite making progress in finishing my TBR pile, that’s going to change come the new year. I’m excited to get back into all of these stories! ..Except for the one stand-alone and cook book. Obviously. Speaking of which, cooking is something I also hope to do more of come the new year.

Well guys, I’ve been slacking. I haven’t picked up a book in over three days. I always do this to myself — book burnout. Last week I plowed through a handful of books and felt like I was on a good, productive track. This week? Not so much. But that’s okay! I have time to get back into the swing of things. Plus, Bout of Books is fast approaching, and that will definitely get me in the mood to read.
In other books news, everyone but me has read The Evolution of Mara Dyer. This makes me sad.
The highlight of my week was the start of the Olympics. (It was killing me that I had to wait until Friday for it!) Since it’s started, it’s been taking up most of my time. I’m a sucker for the gymnastic and swimming bits. If you’ve been missing out on any of it at all, check my Twitter feed. I’ve been live-tweeting about a ton of the events with Mandi!
Blogging for you — Amanda hosted a thoughtful discussion about what it means to blog for you.
Team _____! – Nafiza discusses the breakdown of literary romances.
Looking for a good read? — Liz has a long list of awesome Contemp reads to try (picked by bloggers!).
50 Shades of Grey — WORD for Teens discussed in length the issues with the popular erotica book.
Let’s Talk — Melissa discusses book to film versus book to TV adaptations.
