Two of my favorite people celebrated their birthdays this Saturday. We had a brunch with our family. Becca Grace was a little overwhelmed by all of the presents and finally decided to carry around a gift bag for the day. We celebrated Mother's Day with a quiet evening at home. After a crazy week, it was nice to finish my book and then eat dinner while trying to clean up our DVR.
The birthday boy and girl are to the right. Big brother was ready to help blow out the candles though! |

What are you reading this week?
A Circle of Quiet sounds good. After all the celebrations perhaps a quieter week this week? Happy reading for the week.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great read and it feels so timely even though it was written in the seventies!
DeleteHappy birthday, all, and Happy Mother's Day! Lots of intriguing books there. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHere's my It's Monday!
Thanks so much, Deb. :)
DeleteLooks like you had fun birthdays. I read A Circle of Quiet years ago and remember it fondly. Come see my Monday Report. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice. We didn't go too crazy, since no one really remembers their first birthday anyway!
DeleteI really loved A Circle of Quiet. I feel like it's one of those books you can dip back into at different times in your life.
Sounds like you had a fabulous weekend. The Classics Club sounds neat, I'll have to look into that. It wouldn't hurt me to read more of those, I've probably read embarrasingly few on the list! :)
ReplyDeleteI felt that way too but when I started looking through some lists of classics, I felt a lot better! That English Lit degree was helpful for something after all! :)
DeleteThat does sound like a great weekend! Glad you had fun :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice weekend, but I was pretty tired by Sunday!
DeleteHappy birthday little one!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteI enjoyed the accident. Hope you like it.

Thanks Kimberly. American Dervish has been sitting on my shelf for too long!
DeleteThe Accident is a literary thriller right? I was almost going to pick it up at the airport, and then I was leery of paying full price - but it did seem like a good plane ride pick! I'll be looking to see what you think. ~Kelly
ReplyDeleteYes, so far it's about this literary agent who gets an incendiary manuscript and is trying to figure out what to do with it. I think it would be a great plane ride read!
