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! 

No grandbaby news as yet ... Christine was due yesterday so now it's just the anxious wait. 
We had a lovely family get-together during the week to surprise my dad and Annette, they stayed the night, then off to the airport and the US for 3 weeks.



#bookblogwalkers update #23: Felicia's Book Blog Walkers: YAY a good week for me and Thornwood House is a long audio book (16hrs) so I'm hoping to finish it this week with more walking or maybe at the hospital :)

Reviews Coming:

THE COLLECTOR by Nora Roberts (audiobook) ~ not up there with The Witness. A bit predictable and implausible but still enjoyable, good narration by Jenna Whalen.

  2. I hope your grandchild arrives soon!

    I liked No River Too Wide also but I haven't written my review yet. One of the many I still need to get to.The Jill Shalvis book looks like fun. I've read a couple of the Lucky Harbor books and I liked them.

  5. I chickened out on the reread of Echo in the Bone, I figure I will pick up on the new book hopefully without too many holes in my memory. Oh yeah, I love the Animal Magnetism series - my fav by her. Will be looking forward to your review of No River Too Wide. Have great week with a grandie hopefully making an appearance. Oh and great walking this week.

  12. It's exciting and anxious to await a baby's arrival...but it's definitely worth the wait! Love your photo of Wellington Point--great inspiration to continue a walk.

    I really must read Ten Beach Road--I have a library copy that I keep renewing. And I have an ARC of Little Mercies from BEA, which I must also get to.

    Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope your wait is over soon...

    I've only read the first in the Shalvis series and I liked it. There are so many good series out there but not enough time, you know?
