It's Monday and I am out of here!


Well...I don't think this has happened since I started blogging. This week, I didn't finish a single book. It's been a crazy week. My husband is going to a conference and I am going with him for a few days of couple time. The kiddos will be with the grandparents. That means that this week has been filled with packing and planning. And then we dedicated Rebecca in church this morning, so we were busy planning the service and getting ready to have the family over afterwards. Hopefully I will get a lot of reading done during this time away!

  1. It will be so nice for you guys to have some alone time! That's not easy to come by when you have little ones around. Hooray for grandparents!

    Can't wait to hear what you think about the Lovett. I've got it on my stack, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

    1. This is true. There's a part of me that is sad to be away from the kids, but I know they are having a blast. :)

      My best friend said it was great, so I'm excited to read it!

    1. We are having a nice time. It's beautiful here!
      The World of the End was a really interesting novel. It's a very different spin on the tale of Orpheus traveling to the afterlife to find his love.
