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.
Happy Monday! Hope you had a great week. The sun has been shining here, but Sunday was more like tornado weather--warm, drizzly, and windy. My seedlings are growing. Took the Lil' Diva to the first fitting for her wedding dress. And I have been running around selling and showing houses. Not a bad week at all. Also positive news on the literary front, but too early to share yet. Saw a local production of On Golden Pond this weekend. Just bought tickets for The Wizard of Oz at a different theatre for July.
Here are a few photos:

The only reading I managed was the First Chapter Review of the following romance novel and a short audio book. You can read it here if you missed it. This will be another productive week, but I plan to get some reading done anyway.
This is a 20 minute short essay. Not sure how I stumbled upon it.
Started this two weeks ago, so should be continuing with it this week.
Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books they added to their shelves the previous week. This weekly meme is now hosted by Vicki at I'd Rather Be At The Beach.
Found this Kindle freebie thanks to Bookbub.
October 1870 - Cincinnati born Angelique DeWitt, widowed and caring for her five-year-old daughter, Zina, finds herself scrambling for a place for her and her little girl. About to become homeless and in desperation, Angelique makes a quick decision to become a mail order bride for a man named Thaddeus Billings, a hotel owner in Kansas. But...once they get on their way, Angelique wonders if she has done the right thing, especially when disaster strikes! Terry Cramer has had it rough most of his life. Now divorced and raising his six-year-old son, he has a prosperous farm and steamboat landing on the banks of the Ohio River—thirteen miles south of Louisville. He has everything he needs... except a good woman to love him and help raise his boy. Always too busy to go out looking for a female to court, Terry says one would have to drop onto his lap. Sometimes circumstances work out in strange ways, even because of a broken down old steamboat. You just never know what’s around that next bend in life, do you? If you enjoy a good, clean, old-fashioned romance with lots of history and endearing characters, written like the classic movies of old, then Sweet Love at Honey Landing is for you!
