It's Monday! What Are You Reading?


Good Monday morning to you! Thanks for dropping by. We had a great weekend filled with playing in the SNOW! It's the first (and hopefully last) of the year. Unfortunately, being snowed in doesn't mean I got to sit by the fire and read a book. I have two young kids, after all. But I did get some reading done this week.

What Difference Do It Make? by Ron Hall, Denver Moore and Lynn Vincent ~ a follow-up to Same Kind of Different As Me

The Long Wait for Tomorrow by Joaquin Dorfman

    I love that you include books your kids are reading! Duck! Rabbit! has been a bog hit at the library I work at.

    And Glass Castles is very good.

    Have a great week!

There are many things that have taken me away from blogging. Work has been much more challenging and interesting these past few years, but that means I really don't want to get back on the computer when I get home at night - or on the weekends.
