It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

It’s Monday What Are you Reading is the perfect way for me to begin my week and allows me to focus on what needs to be read and to see what I have or have not accomplished the previous week. I also enjoy discovering new books by visiting other participants blogs.

The Sunday Salon (TSS: 6/19/2011)

Life: Summers used to prove to be quite relaxing, but the older I get more busy my summers become. This past week has shown me quite a lot and I have decided there is enough stress in my life and I need to lessen my stress and my expectations, so I shall be reviewing less books than usual in an effort to decrease my perceived level of stress.

Family Update: My family is doing well and since it is Father’s Day, the day belongs to DH, so I have no idea what is in store.

Saturday Night: We were all exhausted from the week and decided to make it game and movie night with takeaway Chinese food. The night was fabulous.

Read and Reviewed: This past week I read and reviewed 9 books, most were fabulous, so do take a look. Next week I am planning to limit my reading to no more than 7 books, check back next week and see if it worked for me.

Today I will be reading: Absolutely nothing. It is Father’s Day and as I mentioned, this day is devoted solely to him.

Happy Reading and have a wonderful Sunday.
