It's Monday, What Are You Reading? ~ May 13th




It's Monday, What Are You Reading is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

It was another busy fun week! My cousin graduated from college with a degree in Social Work on Thursday, and invited me to attend her commencements. I teared up at the end, thinking of how hard she worked for this degree, and still worked a job and took care of her two children.  She is definitely going to do some good out there.

I also worked outside all day on Saturday, planting flowers in our front yard. My favorite purchase is a strawberry vanilla hydrangea, which looks like a sno-cone. Unfortunately, we woke up Sunday to frigid weather! It is supposed to go down to 20 degrees tonight!! 


Read Last Week:

  


My Backyard Jungle by James Barilla This book made me think twice about the animals that might be in or near my year. Yikes! The book was very informational, but written in a easy to read way, that was interesting and not boring. Review will be up Wednesday.

Palisades Park by Alan Brennert: And Brennert does not disappoint! I love love loved this book. So good! Review up Tuesday. 

The Sassy Belles by Beth Albright: Not my cup of (sweet) tea. 


Reading This Week:

  



The Biscuit Witch by Deborah Smith: I usually pick up books with Witch in the title. I can't help it. 


And... I am out of books!!! I will be visiting the library tomorrow after work. Probably with a list of books that I have seen on your blogs!

  1. Ah, libraries. What will we do without them? I just heard a story today of a guy who hitchhikes into the city (and back) every 3 weeks or so in order to check out and return library books!

    1. Wow! That is awesome!! I would cry without my library - my friends laugh because I don't even have to show my library card anymore to check out, the library workers just look me up quickly by name, which they don't need to ask for anymore. Lol.

  2. I'd like to see what a strawberry vanilla hydrangea looks like! I've only got the blue and a sort of dull pink. Hydrangeas here only grow in what we call the "up country" or cooler climes of sri lanka. Love this flower myself.

    1. I have always wanted one - my grandma used to have them when she lived in the house we live in. I will take a picture when it blooms to show you. :)

  4. The Biscuit Witch reminds me of Sarah Addison Allen's books. I hope you enjoy it!

  7. I agree about picking up books with witch in the title. Funny :-) And I'm so sorry to hear about the cold weather. It's chilly in the Northeast right now, but nowhere near the 20s. Summer is almost here, though!

I love hearing from people, don't be shy! I would love to hear what you think! I always reply back, although it takes me a bit longer these days due to the little guy.
