Follow Up & Follow Friday (6)

Well this week was chuck full of awesomeness for me anyway. I have been participating in the RCCleanup on Twitter. You can click here to find out more about it. The goal is to clean up your review copy piles and you reviews backlog. So far for the month I have knocked out twelve books, six of them actual review copies.  I have my list here. and each time I do something from it I go back and edit it in blue. I will do more Follow Up post for the RCCleanup, it runs for a few more weeks (the end of August) so I still have plenty of time to meet my book goal of the month of 30 books. Right at the moment I have 19 left to go. Isn't that awesome!!!  Since I haven't done a Follow Up for last week this one is going to be a bit bigger than normal since it will cover all the books read for the month so far.

Although it seems the more I clean up the review pile the more books I keep getting, I just can't stop clicking yes and accepting books to read and review. it's an addiction I tell you. "Hi, my name is Aisha and I'm addicted to books. "  Sidenote : those with an * next to them are review copies that I have read this month. Click on the name for a synopsis of the book. a few too many to place in one post,
