Feels like summer is in full swing now here in Montreal. I'm spending time with my family, with friends and with my books. My whole den, including my office is still deep in renovation though, and it looks like it will be awhile before it's all finished. But the hot weather and the shining sun makes me forget everything else. :-)

For review:
Met the author at Book Expo. She's Canadian and her book will be on tour with iRead Book Tours in August.
Gifted to me by blogger friend Martha:
I was touched when Martha who blogs at Reviews by Martha's Bookshelf gifted me this boxed set of time travel books! Thank you for your kind gesture Martha!
A win from Savvy, Verse and Wit:
I was thrilled to win this at Savvy, Verse and Wit. The setting is the summer of 1978. Thanks to Serena and the author!

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 a great post to organise yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in 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.
What I read and/or featured last week:
Real Murder by Lauren Carr (Review & Giveaway)
Reading Now:

Stop by and enter my giveaways!

Wow, great looking books! I am curious about Breaking and Holding. Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI've bumped Breaking and Holding up on my huge TBR list of summer reading.
DeleteThat's good to know about Warcross, I have that one down to get as well and it will be mt first Marie Lu, sop hopefully I'll like it too. And yes summer is in full swing, and it's nice to have lots of sun and nice temps!
ReplyDeleteThe Train Through Time set looks nice, and I like the 70's setting of Breaking and Holding.
I thought I was the only one who still hadn't read any of her books. I think you would really like Warcross.
DeleteThis new Marie Lu series has me really intrigued. I haven't finished her Young Elites series yet- so I'm quite behind on her books!
ReplyDeleteNow that I'm reading Warcross, I want to read her previous books including the Young Elite series.
DeleteI did not like time travel till I read one book. Now I love them. Hope you enjoy the set too.
ReplyDeleteThey are addictive. :-)
DeleteI've heard good things about Marie Lu but never got to one of her books. The renovations sound intriguing.
ReplyDeleteMy husband gutted the whole basement level and we are renovating from scratch. Lots of work!
DeleteBreaking and Holding has me interested so I'll be adding it to my GR list. Have a good week and I hope summer continues to stick around :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading it. The author is very friendly too.
DeleteGifts and wins are always fun and to get both in one week is epic! I hope you love all of your new books.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Made my week special!
DeleteI've heard good things about the War Cross book on Goodreads too. Glad you're enjoying it! Yay for Sci Fi :)
ReplyDeleteMarie Lu looks interesting. Good luck with your renovations. Enjoy the rest of the summer Laura!
ReplyDeleteWe are having wonderful summer weather too. Loving it and loving that I can sit outside to read or blog.
ReplyDeleteENJOY your books, Laura.

I love sitting outside to read too.
DeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteReceiving a gift of books is always a joy and, being a little competitive, a win is even more satisfying!
I like the cover of 'Path Of Lucas' but the one from your selection which caught my eye, was 'Breaking and Holding'
Thanks for sharing and I hope that your renovation work is finished soon. We had builders in for almost 2 years and had to live in one room for much of that time, so I know what you are going through!
Yvonne :)
My hubby is doing most of the renovations. We have furniture crammed in our upstairs rooms, so it's a little crowded. But I shouldn't complain. It will be great once it's all done.
DeleteI've read Marie Lu and want to read Warcross.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Marie Lu and Warcross does sound interesting. I was drawn by the cover of Path of Lucas and Breaking and Holding sounds emotional -- and good. I do hope you enjoy A Train Through Time. It just jumped at me because you have been enjoying time travels. Glad you are enjoying your summer time. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha. I appreciate your kindness and that you thought of me! :-D
DeleteLooks like you've got some great new books! I love the look 'Path of Lucas'.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading!
I am so glad that Breaking and Holding arrived!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I look forward to reading it.
