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 :)
Well it's been quite a traumatic week with health issues for Callum and I and while I don't want to fill up my Monday post with it all, I'd love you to keep Callum in your thoughts. Please check out my post ~ Just Plain Scared. Melanoma is a scary, scary thing and you don't have a chance if you don't get your skin checked regularly ... so please, go do it!!
I tried to keep my mind off what's coming by finishing off a couple of great books.

ReplyDeleteI loved The Girl of Fire and Thorns too. One of my favorite reads of 2011. I will have to check out your review of Becoming Marie Antoinette. I have it but haven't read it yet.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about your difficult week and I will be praying for you both. I will also be sure to get my skin checked when I go back to my dermatologist in January.
Of sorry about the week... I am off to read your other post - hope you are both doing well now. *hugs!*
ReplyDeleteI'm very intrigued by The Girl of Fire and Thorns. I'm glad to hear you liked it!
ReplyDeleteFollowing you back, great to see fellow Australian bloggers. I get excited every time I find a new one.
ReplyDeleteI will have to watch I Am Number Four now you've said it's good. I also am very interested in reading The Girl of Fire & Thorns.
New follower here!
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited to read Cold Kiss and The Girl of Fire and Thorns.
I'm sorry to hear about your hard week and difficulties, you all will be in my prayers.
Here are my Monday Memes
Oh my. I'm so sorry to hear about everything with your son. I can't even begin to imagine. I've had a hard enough time with my own cancer scares recently that I can't imagine it with a child. My thoughts & prayers are with your family.
ReplyDeleteHopefully despite the no good news you'll be able to squeeze in some reading and relaxation. Have a wonderful reading week and *hugs*.
My prayers with your family. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteSending you and your family lots of positive thoughts and prayers. I had a cancer scare myself and can feel your anxiety.
ReplyDeleteI have Becoming Marie Antoinette on my tbr list and can't wait to read it.
Stop by and see what I have going on this week at Always With a Book
Oh, great books this week! Teddyree, I'm going over to check out your other post, and my thoughts are with you both.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
This is a simply terrifying experience. I just went to read your other post and I can only imagine how helpless and frustrated you must feel. I will keep your family in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so sorry, s mom's we feel our kids pain more than even they do. I am adding both of you to my prayer list and stopped to pray right after reading your "scared" post. Please keep us posted and I hope all our prayers bring you strength, good news and a speedy recovery!!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover for Kingdom of Childhood! Hope it's a good one :)
ReplyDeleteOooh those books sound good!
