Again? Really?

So I have this problem. Every Dewey Readathon (seriously, both in October and April) I get all excited…only to have a bajillion plans erupt on that day. Usually, it’s my niece or nephew’s bday party (this year I got lucky-it was this past weekend). So imagine my surprise when this year not only do I not have plans, but I also get to have a good chunk of time alone since the small child I parent is going to a STEAM Geekend! *gasp*

 

Only to turn around and offer to help my bestie clean and move this weekend.

On a happier note:

I’ve been doing a book club with my cousin and some friends and we’ve just picked our new book for the month: The Alice Network. The Alice Network

I’m pretty excited for this! If you’d like, read with us and when we do our discussion, I’ll post the questions and topics we talk about and in the comments, we can discuss!

 

I will also be picking my Dewey reads later this week, and I’ll post those here as well!

Happy Reading!

Oh, Hello!

Today begins Lupe’s Book Nook. I know, I know. Not very imaginative but hey, it gets the point across and if you are here, then Book Reviews and Cat Gifs MUST be what you are searching for!

For starters, I’m Lupe (obviously, hehe!) and I’m starting this book blog as a place to put all my book reviews other than Goodreads, which is a wonderful source, but can be a bit much for people looking for solely reviews and not all of my shelves and groups. Which, by the way, you can find me there at www.goodreads.com/lupedominguez. I’m also on NetGalley, which will be where I get a majority of my books and ARCs from.

For now, I will try to keep this updated at least once a week. I can get busy (single momma with a busy 9 year old) but I will attempt due diligence and not keep my fellow readers waiting when I get a new ARC or library book to review!

See you soon!

Getting Dewey Ready

Let’s Get Started

So this last week, I finally went ahead and signed up for Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon (http://www.24hourreadathon.com for all you wanting to also sign up) with hopes that this year will be THE YEAR in which I FINALLY accomplish this task. That being said, I also have a lot of library books that need to be read before I get on the whole “Picking books for the Readathon” thing. Have YOU ever done a Readathon? If so, what are your favorite rituals and go-to books?
