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 :)
Here's a layout I did of some of the sunsets on our July cruise, photo done using the very cool pic stitch app.

I have a busy week coming up with reviews, (if I get my act
together) a blog tour, a drive to Toowoomba to spend some time with a dear old
friend in hospital and Alaine and I have a charity scrapbook day on Saturday so
we'll be planning and packing for that.
My eldest son is in the midst of Capstone exams
this week, the culminating exams of a 4 year electrician apprenticeship. I'm
sure he'll pass with flying colours but I'm sending him calm and good luck
vibes anyway.

ReplyDeleteI want to read The Raven Boys and look forward to hearing what you think of it. I am glad you loved The Shadowy Horses. I probably won't get to it for awhile.
ReplyDeleteDid you make those flowers out of book pages on the scrapbook layout? It is really pretty!
Thanks Christina, one of the flowers I bought in a pack and I've used it as a guide to make others out of yep, old book pages lol
DeleteYour lo is GORGEOUS!!! I love love love those photos, the colors and loveeeeeeeeeeeee those flowers!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing good things about all three of your upcoming reads, looks like you are in for a great week of reading :D
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about sunsets? They can make things so much better. I am blessed to live on a lake that has gorgeous sunsets! Loved Shadowy Horses too! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Winter Garden. It took a bit to get into but once you do...whew! What did you think about the mom?? Did you like her or hate her? At the beginning I hated her, but at the end...not so much. The only book in recent memory that made me cry. :) Can't wait to hear what you think!

ReplyDeleteThe Raven Boys is bound to be a bestseller this season. Have a great week- despite it being busy!
ReplyDeleteSome lovely read! I also read whilst travelling. I liked the Kearsley book too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous that you have a copy of The Raven Boys to read! I couldn't get a review copy. I'm gonna have to break down and go buy a copy.

If I'm not mistaken, I got The Raven Boys for free on Kindle. I hope to read it some time soon. The other two books you plan to read have lovely covers. :)

Loved Shadowy Horses, I kinda miss the characters already. Hate that. The Secret Keeper is on my list too, I haven't read any of hers yet. Here's my Monday post.
ReplyDeleteI wish him good luck on his exams!
