It's Monday - Away With You, Germs!



Yuck. It's been a rough few days. I am hereby decreeing that both children should not be allowed to be sick in the same week. I have now met my quota of cleaning up after sick kids for the year, thank you very much.

On a happier note, I think this should be a really fun week on the blog. I'm participating in a great Top Ten Tuesday and joining in with Trish to record and share A Day In the Life. I'm excited to write about our crazy lives and see what you all are up to during a day!


Read This Week:
Almost Famous Women: Stories                                      
Almost Famous Women                                       Pigs In Heaven

  4. I love the cover on Almost Famous Women - I hope the book lives up to it :-)
    Equal of the Sun looks interesting too.

    1. The cover is a cool one. I really liked that Bergman included a photograph of the women (when there was one) at the beginning of each story. It gave you something to visualize if it was your first time hearing of them.

  5. Sick kids is the worst! (Well, maybe except for a sick, moan-y-groan-y husband!)

    Hope things get better.

    1. Haha. At present, we have one healthy kid, one recovering kid, and one sick husband. All are behaving admirably, though. :)

    1. Me too! I own Devil in The White City, but somehow forgot to read In The Garden of Beasts. My tbr list has let me down!

  7. I hope the kids are better and you don't catch it next. All of your books are new to me. I hope you enjoy the ones on the stack for this week. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

  8. Sorry the kids have been sick. Luckily our household has made it through without sickness this year, but allergy season is warming up, so I'm expecting myself and the roommates to at least have some stuffy noses soon. Hope everyone feels better soon and gets to enjoy the nice weather coming up.

    1. Oh allergy season. Yuck. I am a fellow allergy sufferer, so I feel your pain!

  9. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on Dead Wake. I love Larson, but wasn't psyched about that one. I saw others who loved it, though.

    1. I've had Equal of the Sun sitting on my shelf for forever and I don't know why it's taken me so long to commit. I'm trying to do better about alternating between new releases and older books.

  11. It looks like you've got some great books lined up next. And I look forward to your fun upcoming posts, especially the day in the life. I love those kinds of posts, because if I'm being honest, I'm kind of a nosy parker. Haha!

    I hope you have a sickness free week this week, the rest of the month in fact!
