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 I didn't read or review as much as planned, it turned out to be a busy week with Callum finishing his high school journey & heading off to the week-long Schoolies celebrations. I've got quite a few reviews scheduled for this week though so it's nice to be semi organised for a change lol.
Graduation Day
Year 8 & early Year 12 school photo (2007 & 2011)
Cal & I did go and see Breaking Dawn part 1 which we both loved, although his favourite is still Eclipse, mine is now Breaking Dawn as was the book.
Bundy, my eldest son's dog is slowly recovering from his accident and I'm no longer in pain although I am constantly exhausted. I usually love the onset of our summer heat but with my thyroid in overdrive I'm experiencing a little cold weather envy of all my northern hemisphere friends :)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Callum on his high school graduation! Sounds like you had quite a week :)
ReplyDeleteI went to see Breaking Dawn on Saturday night and I thought it was pretty good. I want to go and see it again.
You have some good books on your list this week. I can't wait to read Every Other Day. I love Jennifer Lynn Barnes's werewolf series. I also want to read Beatiful Chaos.
I will have to come back and check out your review of Dearly, Departed. Have a great week and I hope your health continues to improve!
How fun! I seen Breaking Dawn too - it was good!
