It's Monday again...who let that happen?


Hello everyone! How are you? I feel like we are starting to get back into the swing of things, now that the holidays are over and David is back to school. I like a little routine, so this is a good thing! 

Reading-wise, I am still working through The Arabian Nights. 700 pages is not a quick read and at this point, I'm finding it a bit repetitive. I'm sticking it out though - I haven't even reached Aladdin yet!

    1. It was very good. I am impressed with the vast differences between Perfect and Joyce's other novel.

    Hope you are having a wonderful start to a new week.

    1. I feel like I learned a lot. Isn't that what we want to achieve by reading non-fiction? :)

  6. I'm not too good when it comes to long books, I would not have been able to stick Arabian Nights out. I hope you manage to finish it soon.
    Routine is good, I like routine.

    1. I make it a goal to read so many pages within a day or a week. It is a very long book though!

  8. A Red Herring Without Mustard is currently staring at me from David's nightstand. He's about 150 pages into it, and he's only at my house on the weekends, so I'll likely steal it and read it before he can finish. lol

    1. I am on a bit of a Flavia binge. I've got four books lined up!

      I promise not to tell that you "borrowed" it...:)
