It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/20/17
Still didn’t get to a lot of reading this week – we had friends stay over during our snowstorm, which only led to a lot of shoveling and very little reading and then my mom came to visit for a long weekend which also lent itself to very little reading.…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/13/17
I’ve had little to no time to read this week, but I did get a chance to crack open Carmer and Grit: The Wingsnatchers by Sarah Jean Horowitz which I’m enjoying already (but haven’t gotten too far into yet!). It’s about a faerie with one wing and a magician’s apprentice in…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 2/13/17

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 1/30/17
This week I finished up The Reader and it is going to be a series, so it left me on at a cliffhanger and now I’ll have to read the rest of the series (if I can remember what happened in the first book). I also read The Sun Is Also…
