Did everyone enjoy the long weekend? We slept over at my parent's house and watched some fireworks from my in-law's boat. As you can see, David was rather impressed with the show.

What are you reading this week?
Enjoy We Were Liars - I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that!
DeleteI have We Were Liars, still unread, but have heard much good buzz about it. Enjoy it and I look forward to your take on it. Glad the kids enjoyed the fireworks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rita! I've heard good things about it too.
DeleteDavid adored the fireworks. Becca Grace was already asleep at Grammy's house, though. :)
I've started We Were Liars. I can tell you this much...after Moby Dick, it is going to feel like a walk in the park!
ReplyDeleteHere's my It's Monday!
I'm pretty sure anything feels like a walk in the park after that book!! :)
DeleteShakespeare! Awesome. I'm reading The Odyssey by Homer. It's kicking my tail a bit, but I'm making it. I'm on page 81...the first 100 pages are the hardest! So, I figure it's all downhill from here. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I've read any of his plays and I'm really enjoying it. The Odyssey is quite an undertaking but I hope you will enjoy it. :)
DeleteI have We Are Liars on my To Read list and have seen it on so many blogs lately.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I'm glad to finally be reading it.
DeleteI've seen We Were Liars quite a few times. I'm going to put it on my list. Enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the 'it' book of the summer, doesn't it??
DeleteWe were Liars is supposed to be quite good. Hope you enjoy and glad you had a great 4th!
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg! We did have a nice time. Did you do anything fun for the 4th?
DeleteYour son is so cute!! I love those Penguin Classics covers, I want to collect and display them all, I could read them too!1 I loved We Were Liars, despite all the hype I really enjoyed it. I worry when books are too talked about.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog :)
Thanks Anita! I worry too when everyone is talking about a book. Can it possibly live up to all of that? I'm glad it was a great read for you! :)
DeleteGreat picture. Don't read anything about We Were Liars, just read it! It will be more amazing that way.
ReplyDeleteI've managed to stay spoiler-free so far, so I'm excited!
DeleteEnjoy! I've started Moby Dick a few times, but I've never finished it.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite the undertaking! I'm taking it nice and slow and giving myself lots of grace.
