Good morning. I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Ours was rather relaxing. We actually got to sleep in both mornings and didn't have a lot of obligations. Of course, one of the things we did have is a birthday party for one of M's friends. I had it on our calendar for Sunday evening. When we showed up for it, we discovered it was actually for Saturday evening. Whoops! I felt so bad for M and her friend. It wasn't a very nice ending to the weekend but at least we had a nice weekend before that!
Things were very busy around here at My Book Retreat last weekend. I put up a review of Spinning by Michael Baron. This was a lovely story of a single guy who finds himself as the sole caregiver of a little girl. In addition to the book review, I also did an interview with Michael Baron.
If you haven't already discovered this wonderful author of contemporary fiction, you can try out his first book for FREE! The e-book of When You Went Away by Michael Baron is available for FREE from Amazon
I also put up a review of Amazing Crayon Drawing with Lee Hammond. The pictures in this book are truly amazing, and the step-by-step instructions on how to draw with crayons are easy to follow. And I reviewed several children's books in What My Children Are Reading, and gave a March recap of my reading and reviewing.
As far as reading goes, I finished the memoir The Girl's Guide to Homelessness
I decided to join in with Red House Books and declare April as NetGalley Month! That means I'm going to try to read and/or review several books that I've gotten from NetGalley.com. The Girl's Guide to Homeless is one. I also have the The Complete Walt Disney World 2010

Oh no about the party! That's too bad. I like that you are dedicating April as Netgalley month... I wish I could do the same... so many books on there and I just do not have time to get to them...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great month ahead...hope you enjoy all of your books.
ReplyDeleteHere's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
Had to laugh about the party (no offense) - it just sounds like something we would do! I'm sure the kids were disappointed.
ReplyDeleteHowever, a weekend of sleeping in sounds wonderful. Soccer season started for us last week, so our days of sleeping in on Saturday are gone for awhile - we had an 8:30 am game and a 10 am game.
Anyway, it looks like you had a very productive reading/blogging week!
Enjoy your books this week -
Sue
Spring Break's over. I mostly read books for my project. Come see what I finished.
