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! 

On the home front: 

Lady Elliot Island was the most amazing experience, we were so very lucky to see and do everything I was hoping to ... turtle hatchlings, manta rays, back rubs for turtles, beautiful snorkelling, sunrise, birds up close, great beach walks. I fell in love with the turtles :)

Wow where did January go? Mia is 7 months old now and crawling, pulling herself up and taking steps hanging on to something. I'm so lucky I get to spend so much time with her, being a nonna is just the best and I treasure the special bond I have with this little poppet.

This week I have a lot of catching up to do with reading, reviews, photos etc. We have a couple of weeks at home so I'm hoping to find a read that drags me out of my reading funk after the brilliance of Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale :)
