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: 8/21/11)

Life: The weather has been fairly decent, but I find myself looking forward to holidays much more now than I ever did. I cannot wait for all of us to be together again. Time is so very relative. I cannot complain, even though I would like to, I do not need too. My sons and my husband are healthy and happy and I could not ask for more.

Family Update: Earlier in the week we took our oldest to University, needless to say this has been a rather difficult week not only on me, but also my son as he becomes accustom to University life. Twin A continues to be busy working every day of the Autumn Musical set and Twin B began his first job. DH is doing well and I am as god as can be expected.

Saturday Night: This was the first weekend with my oldest son off at University. It was odd not having him with us as we watched the marathon trilogy of Lord of the Rings.

Read and Reviewed: This past week I read and reviewed 8 books, spotlighted 1 book and had a guest author blog post. If you have time, please take a look at my reviews, I have a diverse selection of books.

Today I will be reading: The Last Brother by Nathacha Appanah

Happy Reading and have a wonderful Sunday.
