A weekly event hosted by Sheila from Book Journey to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week. Thanks Sheila :)
Quite an emotionally draining week with my best friend Alaine in hospital for surgery but making a good recovery and 2 more friends with children in hospital. I'm sending all my friends with health worries my love and very best wishes for recovery.
Cal had a great game of soccer, scored a goal and came out with a 2 all draw against a tough team. Saturday night we participated in Earth Hour turning our lights off for an hour and finished off the night at Max Brenner (heaven for chocolate lovers)

Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
Wow what a week you had. Sad to hear about the friends in the hospital. Please send Alaine my love and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI sadly have never heard of Earth Hour but love the concept and of course Chocolate Heaven is a place I want to be :)
Sorry about your friends, I hope they are all on the road to recovery quickly. Another 5 stars for These Things Hidden. Looking forward to that read.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a stressful week for you. Can't wait try Max Brenner. Sounds like a great YA might have to borrow that one. Thanks for everything you did for us last week including having the boys for those few days while i was in hospital xoxo Couldn't do it without you.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the warm chocolate melting cake we had on a cruise last summer, it was WONDERFUL. Yours looks soooo good!
ReplyDeleteI sent up a prayer for your friends who are in the hospital.
I'm looking forward to your reviews, especially the one on Dracula in love.
You need to settle down to a good read to take away the stresses and strains of your week. Sorry to hear it has not been good.
