It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date

Wow, we are just having a jam packed, full of fun and adventure summer. We had a fabulous 4th with my brother and his wife - we went to our hometown parade, that my brother and I have been attending since we were little babies. Now our babies went together. Then Saturday my cousin hosted a family BBQ, and we hung out with all of my cousins and their kids. One of my cousins has two girls, ages 7 and 4, and then the rest of them all fall in a line - starting in October 2014, then three more following in Jan 2015, March 2015 (my guy!), and finally, the youngest my niece in August 2015. It was fun to see all of them together. The dads all took to the pool with them, while the moms hung out poolside with our drinks. It was a beautifully perfect day. 

Read Last Week:

 

This was a pretty good read. I didn't care for it too much at first, but I stuck with it because I generally love DBF. I am glad I did because I ended up enjoying it more than I had thought. However, this is not my favorite book by her. I would put it near the end of my DBF favorites list.

Reading This Week:

It's been a while since I have read Graham and the Krewe of Hunters series. I took a break and when I saw this on Jennifer at Book Den's blog, I was reminded of how much I had enjoyed them. I am looking forward to returning to this series. 

It's also library day! Yay!

Watching:

Mostly the Tour de France. There was some serious controversy last week! Peter Sagan, who is a big name in cycling and sprinting, was ejected from the Tour! There was an incident with another cyclist, Mark Cavendish. Cavendish tried to squeeze into a spot that some say he should not have attempted. Peter Sagan came zooming up and threw an elbow. Some say Sagan did not do this on purpose, and should not have been disqualified. This decision inspired lots of arguments and discussion, as both men are huge favorites of people. The crash was huge and pretty alarming. At that point in the race, both men were probably reaching speeds of 60- 70 km per hour, which is around 40 mph. Cavendish went down hard, and actually had his face run over by another biker as well. He was ok but did get injured and had to leave the race. Here is a link to an article including videos if you are interested.

Today (Monday) is a rest day and they need it after Sunday, which was through some massive mountain climbs.

What about you guys? What have you been up to lately?
