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 big week, Callum has finished the 2nd year of his IT Degree at uni; very proud of him, this year he's really found his groove and got great results. He leaves this week for a month in SE Asia, backpacking with his best mate; Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, finishing with a few days in Bali. A wonderful experience but like any mum I'll be worrying about his safety ... thank goodness for free Wifi and facetime :)
Cleaning up in the garage on the weekend we found a box of treasure I must have put away after mum's funeral (letters, photos, cards, bit's & pieces special to mum.) It's mum's birthday today *blowing kisses to heaven* and lately I've been missing her terribly ... it's like she knew, perfect time to go through treasured things.
I'll be making more Christmas cards like this one, such a fun one to do
style inspired by Mish Mash
Merry Christmas free printable from The Cottage Market
(it's actually a cupcake topper lol)
card for my eldest son & daughter-in-law

I read Pawn and Crash Into You last week and liked them both. I hope you do too. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteLoving those cards!!! I love love love the colors and the photo one is so fun!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your son! He will have a great trip. Sad to hear about Allegiant, I have decided to lower my expectations a bit before I read the book. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great plan there for reading for the coming week. I haven't read a Sarah JIo book yet, but plan to do so before the year is out. Thinking of you as you remember your mother on her birthday.
ReplyDeleteI reviewed Pawn yesterday and have my review of Crash Into You-unfortunately didn't love them as much as I have liked previous books by the author so I hope they are more successful outings for you. Looking forward to your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'd be nervous about my child traveling o/s too bit I hope he has a fabulous time and I'm sure your mum will be watching over him.
ReplyDeleteRead on!

A Sarah Jio that is new to me. Enjoy all the books.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your review on The Husband's Secret. Everyone seems to be enjoying it. I have to add it to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
My Monday post is here.
How wonderful for your son...and I can relate to the worry. Even though my oldest son (who lives in Berlin) is in his forties, I still worry, since I haven't seen him in six years (except via Skype).
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to go through treasures of those we've lost....bittersweet moments.
I am very much looking forward to Morning Glory. Enjoy your week! Here's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
Your lucky son! How exciting.

ReplyDeleteAlso, your son is fulfilling one of my dreams! how exciting!
Happy reading!!!!
