The Sunday Post/It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

What a busy weekend! We had not one but two birthday parties for Wyatt's cousins on Saturday. One for his newly three year old cousin, and another for his cousin celebrating her Sweet Sixteen! I think it is so cool they all have such close birthdays. :) We took advantage of the nice weather this week too, with many walks and hanging out with friends and babies. It was a good week. 

I hope to get my seeds started this week - I am so behind already, but I think I should still be ok. I really just want to start some flower seeds this year for a cutting garden. Everything is getting all green and growy, I can't wait!

Read:


Best of My Love by Susan Mallery: Overall, a fun read, although a wee bit sexist, in my opinion. Review to come soon.

Reading This Week:

Ugh I am so so so close to the end of the Oregon Trail! It will definitely be finished in the next few days. I never got to the Linda Lael Miller book from last week, so I might read that. Or I might read this one:


Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: I have enjoyed everything I have read by Rowell so far. I am looking forward to this one.

I loved Pat Conroy's work.  I read every one of his books, and waited very patiently (not) for his next book to come out. He wasn't an author that published quickly, but when that next book finally did come out, it was well worth the wait. I was very saddened to hear of his death, and will feel his loss in the reading world, where we will all forever be waiting for another new book. Conroy's publisher, Open Road Media, sent me this very touching video tribute in honor of the late great Conroy.

The Sunday Post/It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

I have been trying to soak up this lovely fall weather as much as I can the past week. Today we went to the orchard for Wyatt's first visit - so many delicious doughnuts live there too! Yum apple fritters!



Read Last Week:


Witch by Barbara Michaels: It was fun to revisit a Barbara Michaels book. There is just something comforting about them. 

I had planned on reading Need, but I think I am going to have to give up on reading e-books until I find a proper replacement for my e-reader. I asked for a Kindle Fire for my birthday, which is next month - fingers crossed my husband gets it for me! 

Reading This Week:


 Lair of Dreams by Libba Bray: I was excited to see this on the shelf at the library! It is so big and fat, it is going to be hard to read while holding a baby but I can do it! (I think!)

Watching:

The Middle, The Originals, Vampire Diaries and Supernatural are heading our list these days. I think we are going to throw in a few scary movies soon too!
