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 :)
I had a good week with reading and review posting and an even better week on the home front. Callum returned from schoolies safe and sound having had a blast with the week-long party. I had a day catching up with Alaine (hadn't seen her for weeks) and a wonderfully romantic night in the city celebrating a small milestone with Mike ... roses, champagne and these adorable tuxedo strawberries.
My sister and I celebrating her 40th October 2010
Birthday Card using the very cute Jillibean Soup range
and last but not least I do hope all my US pals had a truly blessed Thanksgiving!

I love the tuxedo strawberries!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are on a Zombie book blitz. I may have to check a couple of those.
Hope you have a really good week coming up!
I love the sound of the zombie one! It's a great title because you don't expect the addition of zombie on the end.
ReplyDeleteHere's my reading post if you're interested.
Hope you enjoy all your books and have a great week.
Love the strawberries and what a pretty scrap page!
ReplyDeleteI have Every Other Day and Demon Lover to read in December as well.

Mom and Dad Aren't Getting Along sounds amusing.
