Weekend Wrap Up (Oct. 9) | Friday Memes

This is the Weekend Wrap-Up, inspired by Melanie at Christian Bookshelf Review. This is where I will tell you what I've read in the past week, what I'm currently reading, and what I plan to read in the week ahead. I might also share some interesting events from the past week!

The past few weeks, I have been in a reading slump. I just couldn't muster up the energy to pick up a book and that made me sad. I think I've over come it and I'm slowly getting back on track!

The Question: What's your favorite "Halloween" snack to munch on while you're reading?

"Sitting in his cockpit, Captain Roger Greene scanned the heavens. He searched left to right, overhead, below and behind. No sign of enemy aircraft. Just formation after formation of B-17s droning along below, plus his own umbrella of Thunderbolts providing escort cover." - The Methuselah Project by Rick Barry

My Thoughts: As I've gotten a little farther into this book, I realize the beginning is just as intriguing as the story is turning out to be. I was drawn to the book by the description, and it's proven a good choice so far!

""Good morning, and welcome to Last Chance." Rita Sandoval, owner and manager of the Last Chance Motel as well as the town's mayor and chief booster, tucked her pencil back behind her ear and smiled up at Dr. Jessica MacLeod. "I know you're going to love it here."" - Last Chance Hero by Cathleen Armstrong

My Thoughts: This is not a particularly exciting beginning, but I have loved this series so far and I have no doubt this book will be great!

"The little fort in the wilderness bustled with activity outside the kitchen window. The distant sound of the post band praticing mingled with the sound of soldiers practicing maneuvers on the parade ground." A Heart's Promise by Colleen Coble

My Thoughts: I'm so excited to read the final book in Colleen's Journey of the Heart series. The beginning of the book captures my attention and I can't wait to delve back into life in Fort Phil Kearney, Wyoming.

"Camille Iverness met the big man's gaze.

Bravely. 

Boldly.

She would not be bullied or manipulated. Not in her own shop." - The Curiosity Keeper by Sarah E. Ladd

My Thoughts: As I'm already halfway through this book, I'd say the beginning piqued my curiosity - haha :D

The Question: Do you use bookmarks? If so, do you match them to the book you're reading or do you use random scraps of paper?

My Answer: I use bookmarks, but I don't have a specific one I use. I have several to choose from and sometimes I have to use random scraps of paper because I've misplaced all of the bookmarks!

"The thunder of a thousand hooves pounded in her ears and she buried her head beneath her tethered hands." - To Capture Her Heart by Rebecca DeMarino

My Thoughts: It's a promising start! Since I'm almost a quarter of the way through, I can say with confidence that it only gets better!
