Life: I am still sad I will not be at BEA and BBC. I will be missing out on making connections, meeting other reviewers, authors, publishers, publicist, etc, in person. I will miss out on hearing and seeing the newest ideas, releases, and missing some fantastic seminars. I cannot express how much it saddens me to not be involved. Yet, my family comes first, as it should.
Family Update: Tomorrow is my 19th Wedding Anniversary. We have a fun day planned then a small party with friends. Friday is my son’s big formal affair and I found a Little Black Dress, accessories and heels I need to learn to walk in. I am contemplating painting my nails. The last time I did was in the early 80s, so I am not certain it would go well. My oldest was in his first fender bender and hopefully it will be his last. Thankfully, no one was injured. There is an amazing amount of damage to my car.  This is not going to go well for my insurance premiums. My iPad has not arrived, I have tried to get excited about it, so far, there has been no excitement on my end, although my family cannot wait. We experienced another rainy week and yet still managed to plant flowers in the beds and prepared hanging baskets as well as moved some shrubs around. Overall the yard looks much better than it did. Our neighbours are completely moved into their flat. We see them daily, but it is somehow not the same, yet still good.
What I did on Saturday Night: I spent Saturday night in a theatre watching Extreme Theatre 2010. My son and his drama friends had 24 straight hours (their work began Friday at 7:30 P.M.) to write, create, cast, memorize, build sets, work lighting, make costumes etc, for the live performance on at 7:30 P.M. We had a brilliant time and those teens are quite talented!
Read and Reviewed: Even with the loss of my glasses I did read and review 11 books. I could have done more but lost a day during the great glasses hunt. I shall, as usual, list all the reviews I read this past week on Monday with links. Do not want to wait until Monday? They are all up and as usual, I love comments.
So what will I be reading? I am getting delightfully lost in Helen Hollick’s Captain Jesamiah Acorne pirate series. Reviews will be coming, but for now anyone looking for a novel filled with action, adventure, suspense, strong women, pirates, wit and excellent writing, her first in the series is Sea Witch.
Happy Reading and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions.

Life: The past week was truly a dreadful one for me and I was unable to read and review as many books as I usually do and had hoped to read/review. For those wondering, we are still helping the neighbours move. It it taking forever, or so it seems.
Family Update: My oldest, as I type this post, is currently at his first prom. When I went to prom (a few decades ago) I used to to think the guys had it made, renting a tux seemed inexpensive. Okay, I was very, very wrong. Prom is costing us a small fortune for a few hours. I am hoping my twins will chose not to attend prom when it is time. Everyone looked lovey, and no, I shall not be posting pictures. I will update how it went next Sunday.
What I did on Saturday Night: I am typing this in bed, where I spent the day. DH was kind enough to take care of all the details with prom, pictures taken, and making certain all children are accounted for. He also made me homemade cookies. I am trying not to worry about my oldest son’s safety.
Read and Reviewed:It was a very bad week. I have only managed to read and review 7 books and 1 DNF, which was my first ever and I did not blog about the novel. I will have a comprehensive list of what I read and reviewed this past week plus what my upcoming week will look like on Monday.
So what will I be reading? I am hoping to read On Folly Beach by Karen White.
Happy Reading and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions.

It has been an extremely busy week, with the boys being on Spring Break, helping our neighbours find a suitable apartment, and looking at colleges and universities. I am hoping this week will bring me more time to read. I have tried to gain more time with the
Clear Away the Clutter Read-A-Thon as well as the 24-Hour Read-A-Thon. Naturally life got in the way of my plans, and I am hoping for more time to read this week, however with my neighbour having back surgery and their upcoming move, it is not looking as though this week will be a stellar one for reading.
This past week nine reviews went up:
Today I am planning to read:
- How Clarissa Burden Learned To Fly by Connie May Fowler
- Watchlist based on an idea by Jeffery Deaver
