Sunday Musings: New Books & Meme Love! [3]

Two birds one stone - I stumbled upon The Sunday Post Meme hosted by the lovely Caffinated Book Reviewer & the Stacking The Shelves meme hosted by the awesome Tynga's Reviews! It is quite similar to what I'm doing here with my Sunday musings - recapping the week in book blogging universe as well as letting you guys know about what books I bought or received.

Quite exciting stuff this past week here at the BloggityBLOG. It was the launch of my Tuesday Thoughts & Talks meme! Being a new meme and all, I was super happy to have one participant! With starting a book meme, I never knew what response it was going to garner but I set that aside and focused on what I wanted to share with the book community out there. And so the idea of the Tuesday Thoughts & Talks meme is, every Tuesday we'd share a thought we had while reading a book or afterward, that really made us think. It could be about anything! Food, shoes, life, what tomorrow looks like, what childhood reminds us of - ANYTHING! I wanted to get people engaged in a conversation across the internet about what books bring out in us and what fires to they set off in our minds! So if this sounds like something you want to get involved in - check out the first Tuesday Thoughts & Talks post HERE - leave a comment on the topic I shared or stay tuned for next Tuesdays Thoughts & Talks!

Along with this book blog, I have fun with a book instagram - bookstagram - bookbloggityblog! As the month of May continues, so does my #monthofmaybookchallenge! These were the photo challenges of the past week:

   
Day 4 : Character You'd Date (Noah Shaw!) , Day 5 : Book & Earbuds

   

Day 6 : Twirling Pages , Day 7 : Outdoor with a Book

   
Day 8 : Book in Another Language , Day 9 :Identical Imprints

As for the new books bought this week, I have three:
      
(Click any of the covers to read the official synopsis for them)

The first of the three is Whiskey & Charlie. An adult fiction, and from what the back cover I can get that the story is of twin boys Whiskey and Charlie who as children are best of friends but as they grow up, they fade into two very different boys, both in the shadows of each other. As adults, they lead completely different lives until one of them gets into a terrible accident that lands them in a come. When his other half's life is in jeopardy, one twin realizes that maybe he'll never be able to say all he needed to say after all this time. The synopsis really had me intrigued! 

Second new book I bought this week is not really a 'new' read for me but I finally picked up a physical copy of my FAVOURITE contemporary romance novel, Tangled! This series was so funny and the characters were so sassy! Drew and Katherine both make millions in the world of investment banking. And both are vying for the top spot at the firm they both work at. Drew thinks it's his god-given right to be at the top - considering it's his dad's company - but Katherine just might knock him off his high horse. Suddenly Katherine has Drew on his toes, making him work harder than he has before, and not just for work but for her too. This book is too funny!

Last but not least is Sarah Dessen's Saint Anything! It was this beautiful book covers release week! So happy be-lated book birthday to it! I'm one of those dedicated Sarah Dessen fans so I just HAD to add this to the collection! I'm sure this book has made it onto a lot of shelves this week!

Question of the day for you folks: Would you want to be a twin? 

AS ALWAYS,
HAPPY READING & SUNDAY!
-SHERRY

  4. Well done on starting your own meme. I tried to start one here in Oz (for book bloggers) last year but gave up after about 4-5 weeks as it engendered little enthusiasm unfortunately!

    Enjoy your new reads!
