It's Monday and I am reading some Classics!


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.

  2. I 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.

    1. Thanks Rita! I've heard good things about it too.

      David adored the fireworks. Becca Grace was already asleep at Grammy's house, though. :)

  3. 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!

    Here's my It's Monday!

  4. Shakespeare! 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. :)

    1. It'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. :)

  8. Your 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.

    1. 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! :)

  9. Great picture. Don't read anything about We Were Liars, just read it! It will be more amazing that way.

    1. It is quite the undertaking! I'm taking it nice and slow and giving myself lots of grace.
