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 :)
What a busy, fun week. I had my niece stay for a few days, we saw The Adventures of Tin Tin at the movies, did some baking and spent quite a bit of time cooling down in the pool. Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes on FB or my blog, I had a fantastic day on Sunday for my birthday but it was a whole weekend of laughs with my sister and family down to help celebrate. See my post Happy Birthday To Me for some of the crazy photos :)
Wanted to share the lovely photos we got at dinner on Saturday night. I can't wait to scrapbook these!

I finished 2 books last week (YAY me) and we are camping for a few days this week over Australia Day so I hope to have lots of reading and relaxing time. Tomorrow I'm looking forward to spending the day with my bestie Alaine.

I really want to read By the King's Design and The Crown also sounds good to me. I've also heard really good things about Never Eighteen though it will be a really sad book.
