It's Monday! What Are You Reading & Scrappy Goodness


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, it helps me stay on track ... well, most of the time. Thanks Sheila!

Thanks for all your get well wishes, took me the whole week to kick that nasty, nasty bug but the best medicine was some feel-good romance reads. I've got my fingers crossed for a super productive week. And check out my reviews of The Tudor Conspiracy & The Bone Season  ... awesome reading!! 

Here's the layouts I promised to share :)

  14. Love your scrapbook pages. I have about 6 thick scrapbooks I did of all the kids growing up and our family vacations. I don't anymore, but I am happy I did those--so much fun to look at. I am reading The Bone Season now, it is very good, a bit confusing in first few chapters then settles down. Will review later this week. Enjoy your new books!

  19. Your scrapbook pages are gorgeous!

    I love the cover of Everbound. The cover of My Notorious Life reminded me of the cover of The Story of Beautiful Girl, which I loved. I was excited to think someone was reading it! My Notorious Life sounds awesome too though. Enjoy your week! I'm glad you're feeling better!
