Before we get started, will you join me in offering thoughts and prayers to all those impacted by Hurricane Helene. The devastation reminds us of how fragile life and our planet truly are.
Welcome to It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
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.
Here we are at the end of September. How did we get here so soon? I'm posting this early because my day off on Sunday turned into a work day. So, I already know Monday will be busy.
Last week was one filled with appointments and a trip to the local theater. I also made a yummy chocolate banana bread.
We are leaving this coming Sunday for a quick trip to North Carolina. After that, I think we will be home until December when we bring the Lil' Princess home at the end of the semester. Scary to think about that already. However, once we hit October, it's like the rest of the year flies by.
In my reading world, I still need to write this review.
I finished this one and scheduled my review to appear at this blog on October 2.
I read some of this one as well.
These two will come to North Carolina with me.
I will also likely bring, this one.
Upcoming events:
- Side Launch by Brock Martin - October 2 (Review)
- The Merry Matchmaker by Sheila Roberts - October 16 (Review)
- A Celtic Yuletide Carol by Jennifer Ivy Walker - November 20 (Review)
I am looking to review Christmas picture books, chapter books, and clean romance novellas this year. You can check out what other products I'm looking for here.
You can read the latest Christmas news at the Christmas Year Round blog. Lots of fun Christmas news. Macy's, Great American Christmas, and other fun stuff. You can read the latest here.
My visit today might be late, but I will definitely stop by your blogs. Hope you have a great day.
Time really is flying. I love going to the local theater although I haven't gone in awhile. Enjoy your books. They all look great. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThe year is going by so fast. It looks like North Carolina took the brunt of the hurricane. No matter how modern we get, we can't beat Mother Nature. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWhew. Helene hit hard and she went on and on. I am so sad about the destruction she caused.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books!
Hope your visit to NC will be okay. As I said in my post we are waiting to hear about a fave author of mine who lives in Asheville NC. Sounds like house selling business is busy!
ReplyDeleteHope you have heard about your author in Asheville. Such devastation. Truly heartbreaking.
DeleteMy visit is very late! I am devastated by the destruction in NC and TN, I have lived in both, have family in both (they are all well, although my husband's uncle is stranded at the top of the mountains, but still doing good), and can't believe so much is gone. What part of NC are you traveling to?
ReplyDeleteOh, Cindy! Sorry to hear about your husband's uncle. Hope he has been rescued now. So much destruction. Breaks the heart. We are going to Wilmington. They had wind and rain, but no real issues. It was parent's weekend on campus. Some people traveled down. Others didn't.
