It's Monday! What Are You Reading?



A weekly event hosted by Sheila from One Persons Journey Through a World Of Books to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week. Thanks Sheila :)

This week I'll be playing catch up with reviews, blogging and hopefully some reading. I had a lovely weekend away with my sister for her 40th, it's Alaine's birthday on Wednesday and I'm looking forward to spending the day with her and my eldest son turns 19 on the 31st (he's the one on the right in photo.) It's been a big week of celebrations and another one to come :)


It's super challenging to get a photo of my boys together, if they stand still long enough they're usually whinging about my annoying photo obsession so I thought I'd share this nice photo. And a layout I finally completed from my baby girl's memorial day.



** Don't forget I have a number of competitions running, all international; check out the sidebar for details. **

I did manage to post a couple of reviews in the last week, click on the title to check them out.

  1. Good luck getting caught up on your reviewing. I finally did this yesterday (after 2+ months) and it took the entire day but it was worth it. I look forward to seeing your reviews, especially Thirteen Reasons Why.

  4. Hope you enjoyed Before I Fall. You sons are very handsome, and I know how hard it is to get boys to stand still long enough to snap the shock. I have three grandsons and they are never still.

    I will be interested to see what you think of Girl Stolen too.

    Have a great week.

  6. Your sons are rather cute-they probably do not want to hear this though-you have two good books to read this week-I cannot pick out books to read in the future week-I may think I want to read something and then hop on over to something else.
