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

We saw Saving Mr Banks on the weekend, I adored Mary Poppins as a child ... ok still do, just beautiful and sad too, I cried ... a lot, such a sookie.

#bookblogwalkers update #6: Felicia's Book Blog Walkers ~ a good week for me. 

Mon - 45 min walk with Bella
Tue - 45 min walk with Bella
Wed - no walk 
Thurs - 40 min walk with Bella
Fri - 30 min stroll 
Sat - 40 min walk with Bella
Sun - 1.5 hours foreshore walk with Bella ... almost 10km and it was fun, didn't even feel like exercise. Topped off with sunset and fish and chips :)

  1. Congrats on your successful week of walking. The Olympics are distracting me from reading so I won't get to Lost Lake as soon as I want. Have a great week.

  2. Walking looks great - I am about to head out soon into the rain. Its cooler too, which is nice and not so nice. Loved Lost Lake too. Was a bit disappointed with Evening Stars, didn't think it was the quality of the first two in the series. I expect much from my top authors!! Picky!

  5. You done a lot of walking... I wish I was able to get out more at the moment however incessant rain doesn't make for good walking weather! I love that sunset picture.
    Happy Reading!

  8. You are doing great with the walking! I keep finding excuses, and then manage to get in some feeble attempts...LOL. Must do better!

    I can't wait to get One Plus One...and Lost Lake.

    January Wish looks intriguing. Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.

  16. Love the pics! I also enjoyed Lost Lake. Sad that we have to wait for another SAA book! Maybe I should re-read her novels. I've liked each of them!

    Have a great week!

  18. You are doing great. I love walking and can't wait for spring when I can start walking with Gage again. I've had to focus on the food this winter. I've lost 8.5 pounds since the beginning of the year :)
