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. I love this meme ... thanks Sheila :)
A lot of planning went into this coming week and I wasn't left with much reading time so fingers crossed I'll be catching up on reading and blog visiting this week. We had a huge weekend away with my sister and her hubby. Walking and eating our way across Brisbane city ... here's a couple of photos taken after a mouthwatering high tea.
