The best laid plans and all that...our internet has been sketchy the past week, but should be put to rights tomorrow. I am using my phone right now as a hotspot for my laptop! I am so behind on reviews and as soon as I am reconnected to the internet I will be back posting away!

Read Last Week:

  

Redemption Bay by RaeAnne Thayne: Fun and enjoyable summer read! I will be hosting a giveaway for a free copy of this book on July 1st! Please come back to check out my review and for a chance to enter!

Wide-Open World by John Marshall: I loved this book! I found it is so inspiring and now, I am planning future voluntourism trips for our little family. It will be some ways off, but I am a bit of a dreamer so it works out.


Reading This Week:


The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins: From NetGalley. Sounds pretty intense!

Received in the mail:


I won this awesome bag and adorable children's book by Stephanie M. Ward, Wally the Warm Weather Penguin, in a giveaway from Teddyree! I love them both ~ I read the book to Wyatt, who just kind of flailed his arms about but I am taking that to mean that he enjoyed it too. It is a great addition to his growing library! Thanks Teddyree!

Watching:

Still watching Wayward Pines and Aquarius, and we have added The Astronauts Wives Club to the list as well. I love everything about it, but especially how visually appealing it is, all 1960s mod. I will definitely be requesting the book from the library!

  9. I have Wide Open World! I need to pick it up soon! The first chapters were funny but I got busy. So it moved to the pile while I finish book club books. Weren't the monkeys something else?

    1. I loved that book so much! And seriously, those monkeys! That would be such a fun place to volunteer but I think I would be terrified of the monkeys, even though I am not in their targeted demographic for an attack.
