It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday - Sep 20

Welcome to It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday.


 


It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.

My, oh my, I am late to the party again. I thought I would have time to put together this post last night, but I am in the middle of an editing project and didn't quite make it.

I hope you had a nice weekend. Mine was great. On Saturday, we held the 19th annual Rick's Place Golf Classic. I am honored to sit on the board at Rick's Place. They offer free grief support to children, teens, and their families. Rick was a Wilbraham native who lost his life during the attacks on 9/11. A group of his high school classmates and his family started Rick's Place as a way to honor him. 



Later that day, I went to watch the Lil' Princess' photo shoot for her senior pictures. Michael EPaul is the one who took my new professional headshot, so I knew he would be great for her photos as well. 





Sunday, I took a much needed day off and baked goodies for the family: pumpkin muffins, corn bread, and marshmallow treats.

Pump Up Your Book will be coordinating a virtual book tour (VBT) for the second edition of my book, A Christmas Kindness, which was released in 2019. The new edition includes discussion questions, crafts, and activities. I will let you know when the tour page is up in case you wish to participate in the VBT. 

As far as reading goes, it is slow going. I still need to finish this one. 



I am also reading this one for a review at my children's book blog on Wednesday. 




My review of this one can be found here.




I also finished this one. My review will appear at my children's book blog on Friday.


These two are next. 















Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists. 

No books in my physical mailbox this week, but I picked up these Kindle freebies over the weekend.






I also bought this one for my other half. I heard this author speak on a real estate podcast I listen to, so I grabbed it. 


That's it for me this week. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

Good one on stretching. I always intend good things when it comes to stretching but usually only do it when something starts hurting!

Cheryl said...

Thanks to all for paying me a visit yesterday. I appreciate your kind words about my VBT.

Kathryn, I am hoping this book motivates me. I really need more exercise.

Hope you all have a nice week.

Your event and charity sound wonderful.
I bet the pictures will be lovely.
Christmas Kringle looks good - I have to get through October and then I can look for Christmas titles. :-)
I hope the VBT goes well.
Have a good week and Happy Reading!

The golf tournament sounds like a wonderful event for a good cause!

Looks like a great variety of books for you, too! Good luck with the blog tour for your book!

I'm late with visits this week, but I hope you've been enjoying your books -
