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!

Scrapbook camp with old friends and new was an absolute hoot ... lots of laughs made up for the severe lack of creative mojo :)

  9. I love when you post your scrapbook pages - you are so creative! I feel it always takes me forever to plan a page spread. I just ordered a ton of pictures from the past year and now have to find some time to scrap them!

    I love Kristan Higgans and have her newest book, The Best Man, sitting on my shelf waiting to be read for a tour next month.

    Have a great week!

  17. I love scrapbooking but I don't have the money to keep up with it like I would like to, unfortunately. It can be such an expensive hobby!

    The Water Witch looks good!

    I will look for your Mistress to the Crown review. I lost interest in it toward the middle, sadly.
