It's Monday again. How is everyone doing?

Hello ladies and gentlemen! How are things?

We had a typically busy week here with a little switch in our weekend. My husband was the guest preacher at the church that we grew up in. It was fun having my kids in Sunday School with the teachers who taught me and I loved singing with a long-time friend. This week, D has Read Across America week and I'm doing my best to potty train BG. Please send all prayers, good wishes, and bottles of wine to our house.

What have I been reading this week? I finished Madeleine L'Engle's Camilla, which is about a girl realizing the failings of her parents and falling in love for the first time. Then I read Ann Voskamp's new book The Broken WayI raced through The Bear and the Nightingale, which is perfect for a long weekend.


Next up for me is J.K. Rowling's The Casual Vacancy. I'm listening to Daniel Jose Older's Shadowshaper. It was finally my turn in the library queue and I'm enjoying it so far!

What are you reading this week?

    1. Thanks Mystica! It's an interesting read for me, but I'm really feeling the length with this book!

  5. I blazed through The Bear and the Nightingale last time I had a long weekend! :) I also recently finished and loved Shadowshaper. Right now I'm reading a historical fiction novel about the Franklin expedition in the Arctic (The Minds of Winter.)
