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, everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and was then taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.
Happy Monday! (Posting early because my morning is filled with appointments.) We are less than a week away from the big wedding! I expect I will be busy a lot of this week, but I will do my best to post timely comments on your blogs. Here are some photos from last week:
Made this delicious Korean BBQ Cheesy Corn as a side with pork tenderloin the other night.
Dwight is keeping an eye on everything.
Theo is waiting for my husband to arrive.
How is this even comfortable, Theo?
Travis is happy his human mom is home until after the wedding.
Not a ton of reading accomplished again this week, but I finished this memoir and posted a review at my Laura Ingalls Wilder blog. You will find the link further down in my post.
Keeping on with this one.
These are next.
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.
Downloaded this from NetGalley.
A tender story of love, memory, and family that helps children explore the emotions and changes that come with aging family members while celebrating the traditions that keep us connected across generations.
Tali loves spending time with her grandmother, her “Nona,” especially when they prepare traditional Sephardic Jewish dishes together. But as they cook, Tali notices that her nona sometimes forgets things—calling her by her mother’s name or losing track of the meal they’re making. As Tali navigates these moments, she begins to understand Nona's "Timeless Time," where memories from the past and present come together in beautiful and complex ways.
• Ideal for children ages 4-8, especially those experiencing a grandparent’s memory loss.
• A heartfelt story that opens up gentle conversations about aging and family connections.
• Beautiful illustrations bring to life the rich traditions and the love between a grandmother and granddaughter.
Tali and the Timeless Time poignantly and sensitively tells the story of a young girl’s empathy and curiosity about her grandmother’s confusion and memory loss. Perfect for children navigating a changing relationship with an aging family member, this heartwarming tale also centers on the importance of traditions that bind us together across time and generations.

I remember watching A Little House on the Prairie as a kid, gosh it's been years since I thought of that show. I've never read any of the books.
Enjoy your busy week! Come see my week here. Happy reading!
Sounds like you will be busy this week. I love the pet pics. They are so cute. Have a great week!
I will always love picture books the best. Tali and the Timeless Time sounds good.
Sounds like a good/busy week! Hope everything goes well with last minute wedding plans.
I still love it, ClarieLouisa. Used to read the books once a year. Don't have time for that these days, but I did skim through them recently. Thanks for visiting.
Yes, Yvonne, a good busy. Thanks. We love the furry ones. Appreciate the visit.
I love them, too, Deb. Haven't read as many as I used to. Might be time to dig out some of them. Thanks for visiting.
Thanks, Cindy. Appreciate your visit.
Theo made me chuckle. All the best for the wedding, enjoy every moment of it.
Enjoy the wedding! That sleeping position looks hilarious.
Enjoy any reading that you get in!
Have a lovely week!
Books look good. Enjoy the wedding and your books, and have a wonderful week.
Have a wonderful week! :)
Nice review of Prairie Man. Since I wasn't at an age to appreciate it when the series first aired I should look for a way to stream it. I think I'd enjoy it. Have a good week!
Thanks, Elizabeth! Appreciate you stopping by.
Thanks, Meezan. You too!
Thanks, Mary. Check it out on Amazon Prime. Should be free with ads.
How exciting that the wedding is so soon! Theo reminds me of Chico, who lays on the window sill waiting for my husband to come home as well. Thank you for sharing Tali and the Timeless Time.
