It's Monday and we're home!


Hello everyone. We are back home from (surprisingly) rainy Florida! We flew down for my brother-in-laws' graduation and I had the chance to see where my hubby grew up. Some lessons learned from this trip: home is awfully nice after a few days away and plane rides are great for reading!

  1. Thanks for the reminder that plane rides are great for reading. I must prepare well for our upcoming trip to Chicago; two weeks to find some good possibilities.

  3. Passing looks good. I am amazed by the number of books you read last week.

    I am lucky to get one done. :)

    I bet Adriana's book was terrific.

    THANKS for stopping by my blog earlier.

  4. I've had PASSING on my radar for years, and it's one of those books I keep forgetting to nab. Thanks for the reminder! And glad you made it home safe!

  5. What did you think if Passing? I read it in February and I really liked it; I especially liked how Nella Larsen writes. Such an interesting contrast between the two main characters, don't you think?

    1. Oh well. What can you do??

      I've enjoyed some Jennifer Weiner books more than others, but this one is about motherhood so I think it should hit some right notes for me!

  8. A Circle of Quiet sounds intriguing. I didn't know Madeline L'Engle had published her journals. And The Supreme Macaroni Company! Adriana Trigiani is one of my favorites, and I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say about her new book!

  9. We like to travel but yes, it is always nice to get home afterward. Nothing like being home. Hope the rain didn't ruin your Florida trip. Looks like some great reads last week.

    1. No, the rain didn't ruin the trip although it did slightly confuse this Northerner. I thought it just rained for a bit in Florida and then the sun came back! :)
