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! 

Another month down, who can believe it ... 1st day of Spring here! A busy but good week and a big weekend with my son and family back for a few days. Saturday night saw both sons at home for the first time since Christmas, was so nice seeing Callum with his little niece. After appointments today, I'll be spending a few days in Chinchilla; more time with my precious granddaughter ... can't wait!

  1. She is growing so fast, just like Cole. This is my last week with him before his mom goes back to work and he goes to daycare. I am so tempted to retire just so I can have him during the day! Accidents of Marriage was a good read.

  3. I would love to give Mia a big hug, she is that cute! Enjoy her!

    I liked Accidents of the Marriage and hope you do too. I should give Colleen Hoover a try. Someone else today just read and enjoyed a book of hers. Have a great week.

  4. I've requested Accidents of Marriage through Netgalley. I hope they pass it as it sounds very good. Give Mia a hug! My grand daughter is Tia.

  5. Happy spring to you! For us, it's all downhill now LOL. Oh well I like fall so not too bad... and we're having warm weather at the moment to usher out summer.

    Enjoy the family time!

  6. Lovely pictures of your family! I hope you have a wonderful visit.

    I am looking forward to reading The Glass Kitchen eventually. There are holds on it at my library currently.

    I have Accidents of Marriage on my TBR pile but I am not up to reading it yet. That book may emotionally wreck me...

  9. I am going to buy Accidents of Marriage because a few of you are shouting out about it! Sounds good. I have my fitbit! How do I add you? I did 10 000 steps today from my 30 min walk and general walking about the school. Won't be quite so good tomorrow as on release and will be sitting a lot!
    Are you noticing the lighter evenings and mornings? I am. Spring is in the air!! Baby Mia is beautiful. Enjoy, they grow so quickly.

  10. Enjoy your time with your granddaughter. I admire your walking program. I spend too much time on my couch in front of my computer. I am not familiar with any of the books you are reading or have read. I hope you enjoy them all. Happy reading!

  11. I am expecting Accidents of Marriage tomorrow on Sparky (pre-order), and I LOVE the cover of Bitter Greens. I'm off to check that one out. I also checked out your review of The Escape Artist, which I have on Sparky.

    I adore little Mia...her eyes are gorgeous, with those lashes...she's a heartbreaker! LOL

    Enjoy your books and that baby! And thanks for visiting my blogs.

  16. You are doing so well with your walking!
    I am yet to read a Kate Forsyth book but I have heard such good things. Must put her higher up my TBR list!
