We had one of those good and hectic weekends. I worked late on Friday and picked up the boy from a sleepover on Saturday morning, Then we all went to the birthday party of our nephew Saturday afternoon and spent Sunday at church and the afternoon/evening celebrating Father's Day with my husband and dad.
I have still been reading, of course. It is good for this lady's mental health to find some quiet time every day to read a few chapters. I finished Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World and then read What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi. Currently, I'm reading The Fifth Avenue Artists Society and am looking forward to tackling Stewart O'Nan's City of Secrets next.
What are you reading this week?
What is not yours is on my TBR.

I think Oyeyemi is such a fascinating writer! Have you read anything by her before?
DeleteYou just made my TBR list grow. I'd like to read all of these. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWell, my work here is done. :)
DeleteWill you be sharing your thoughts on Raising Grateful Kids In An Entitled World? I look forward to that if so.
ReplyDeleteYes I will! I think I will probably have that review up later this week.
DeleteI hope you review The Fifth Avenue Artists Society...it looks like a good one. :)
ReplyDeleteI liked it. It reminded me of beloved stories like Little Women!

Thanks Sue! It was a nice weekend. :)
DeleteOh yes, reading is some of the best medicine to relax and unwind. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for it, right??
DeleteHope your family had a great Father's Day! You've been reading so much - can't wait to hear what you thought of the new Helen Oyeyemi!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm on a good reading streak. :)
DeleteThe Oyeyemi was a mixed bag for me. I loved some of the stories, but there were a few that I had to motivate myself to keep reading.
The Fifth Avenue Artist Society sounds interesting! I've been so busy there hasn't been any quiet time. This week I'm planning some down time. I'm looking forward to summer.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some of that quiet reading time this week, Heidi!
DeleteI haven't read any of these titles, but I have read several Stewart O'Nan books in the past years and remember really enjoying him! Hope it's a good one.
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed several of his books too, so I'm looking forward to this one!
