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. I love this meme ... thanks Sheila :)

 A good week and a lovely weekend. Total Recall at the movies on Friday night - we all loved it. Saturday we had a visit from my eldest son, Anthony and Christine. BBQ dinner and drinks around the brazier, it was lovely to spend precious time with them.

    I'm hoping to read Dearly, Beloved soon too. I want to reread Dearly, Departed first though.

    I need to get caught up on reviews also. I am so bad about that! Have a great week :)
