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.
Welcome back to Monday! The days they go so quickly. Last week involved a new listing, blogging at the 4RV Publishing blog, showings, and saying goodbye to a real estate friend whose daughter my husband and I went to high school with. Now that the Lil' Princess in North Carolina, and the Lil' Diva is usually gone Thursday through Sunday, Friday night has once again become date night for my husband and me. Usually that means dinner out. We both had great steaks at Max's Tavern. Here are a few photos from the week.
Is it any wonder I have trouble sleeping at night?
Steak from Max's Tavern
This robin took a dip in our bird bath.
As far as reading goes, I accomplished more than I thought I would.
I finished listening to this one.
I am on the last portion of this collection, which are all stories about Christmas.
I started this one last week. My review is due October 4th.
I finished and reviewed this holiday classic from Audible.
I also downloaded this free one on Audible and started listening to it.

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.
My physical mailbox remained empty, but I grabbed this free offering on Audible to listen to while I am driving to appointments.

How fun to be back to date nights. I hope you enjoy your reading this week!
Going out to eat sounds good to me. Glad you can start having date nights again. Your books all look good too. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
Thanks, Mary and Kathy. We haven't had many date nights since the kids came along, so it is nice to have them again. Appreciate your visits today.
Write Your Story from the Middle seem like it gives a different perceptive on writing.
Have a great week.
Sharing a date night sounds so nice. Funny how the bed gets crowded when the little critters climb in.
