It's Monday and life is moving right along!


Last weekend was my birthday/readathon. This was the quiet weekend before my husband and daughter's birthdays/Mother's Day next weekend. I took most of the day on Saturday to go shopping with my mom and sister. Mom and I needed dresses for sister's wedding, and then sister and I got new dresses for the rehearsal dinner. The good news is that this crazy life is apparently not slowing down my reading!

  1. The Bullet looks good. I haven't heard of it, but I am such a cover and title judger! It looks intriguing. But now I just searched for the synopsis, and it sounds like my kind of novel!

    1. Oh me too! I am a sucker for a good title/cover. It was a really good thriller. I think I sped through it in less than 24 hours!

  2. It's a busy time for you! The readathon sounds like a perfect way to celebrate a birthday, lol. (Happy belated!)

    I've heard really good things about My Brilliant Friend. I hope you enjoy it.

    I'm going to start A God in Ruins today. (The companion book to Life after Life by Kate Atkinson)
