It's Monday! What Are You Reading?



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 :) 

A fun, busy week with lots of cooking. Bella our little girl adopted from RSPCA turned two on Wednesday. Many of you know what a rough start she had in life but she's much better now, stronger, braver, and while her coat will probably never fully grow back we think she's gorgeous :)


Didn't get a whole lot of reading done as we spent a wonderful weekend with my sister and her family, celebrating Christmas. They arrived home after 7 weeks holidaying in UK, Paris & Scotland!

  14. I like the sound of Cinder but I will probably wait until all the books in the series are out before reading it.
