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 :)
Look at the visitor we had last week, after making a noise like a herd of elephants we found this little fellow sitting on the screen door on our back deck. He didn't look so cute hissing & baring his teeth LOL
Alaine & Annie returned from UK, they brought back stunning photos, funny stories, wonderful memories & pressies, which is always loads of fun. Look at my cute mug :)
In other news, Callum is doing great, looking forward to his Year 12 formal (I think this may be like homecoming in US.) I've been back to the specialist and am now on antibiotics for a low grade infection in the suture line on my nose. It's now been 4 weeks and it's still not healing like it should be which is annoying, being on my face!
I'm hoping to get a few reviews up this week and I have heaps of great giveaways on the go and more coming this week. Make sure you check them out!

What kind of animal is that on your screen door. I don't recognize it but I think I would have been screaming if I saw it uninvited.
ReplyDeleteWe had a possum in our backyard this week-it must the be week of creatures in the backyard. I just returned from Paris and WH Smith had an amazing selection of Women's Weekly cookbooks. Too bad luggage has weight restrictions.
ReplyDelete@ Anne, it's a possum, we get a lot of them in our area, but haven't ever had one trying to get in the back door lol. People do hand feed native possums but this one wasn't too happy to see us on our back deck, looked like he was thinking we were the one's intruding :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of your visitor. I guess it was a pretty normal week of reading for me. Please come see what I've read.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you will enjoy The Language of Flowers, a very good novel. (I'll never give sunflowers to friends again.) You're welcome to visit for a look at some of the: books on my shelves listed on the right.
ReplyDeleteThat possum is scary looking. I would be so scared!
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited about You Are My Only, which I preordered and should be receiving...soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd as you know, I got Language of Flowers this week.
Enjoy your reads! And I must say, I love the mug you've shown today much better than the beast...LOL
Thanks for visiting my blog.
I love your mug.
ReplyDeleteI have two, one says Stressed out and the other Loved up! Covers most days LOL
Great photo of your possum visitor, I would keep my distance.
have a good week

I am so glad we don't have Possums here, shudder, seriously I may have nightmares tonight.
ReplyDeleteLove your cup, I want one :-)
I hope your infection is over soon!
ReplyDeleteAh, from the comment by Marce I can see what the animal is called! Yes, they're totally exotic here in the Netherlands.
Have a good week!
I think I would scream if I saw that thing anywhere near my deck! I will be looking forward to your review of Language of Flowers.
ReplyDeleteI loved The Language of Flowers - hope you did, too and I will be looking forward to reading your review of it.
ReplyDeleteStop by my It's Monday post if you get a chance.
Looks like some great reading. I had better wait on Without Tess because I am emotional as it is. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteMy Monday list: http://rachelreader.blogspot.com/2011/10/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-5.html
For some reason I think opposums are cute, until I see one. Then not so much.
ReplyDeleteHope your infection goes away soon.
Have a great week.
I love the mug, very cute :D
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to read my copy of You Are My Only but it has been getting bad reviews =.=

ReplyDeleteI love the coffee cup.
I'm going to check The Kingdom of Childhood.
Have a good week.
