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, comment, and 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.
Welcome to the final Monday of August. Seems impossible, but here we are. The crazy, exhausting schedule continues. Five upcoming closings, two more if the offers we placed over the weekend get accepted, and I consulted with two new buyers and sellers. At least this helps me get closer to my goal.
Great news is that our son-in-law is coming home this week! We are very excited. The Lil' Princess is back in school for her final year at UNCW. Here are a few photos from this week:
Bought the girls these great journals at a local art show
Saw some Travis napkins out shopping
Caught this duck hiding in a pond at a house we were viewing

At The Children's and Teens' Book Connection, I reviewed Late Today by Jungyoon Huh. You can read that review here.
The latest post at Laura's Little Houses shares my Season 9 rewrite link. I'm amazed at how much traffic the post is getting. I guess I'd better write a new chapter.
That's it for me this week. Hope to see you around the blogosphere earlier rather than later today. Thanks for visiting!

Good luck getting all those sales finalised!
Have a great week!
So many interesting books. I hope you can find some time for them around showings, offers, and closings. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
Thanks, Marg. The second half of the year is always busier for me. That is why I appreciate the slower months. Thanks for visiting.
Thanks, Kathy. It is good to be busy. A day off would be nice, though. Thanks for the visit.
Sounds like the house selling market is going really well in your part of the world. Ours is slow at the moment but may speed up a bit when summer arrives.
That is a lot of book reviews, good job working on getting caught up ;) It's almost a never ending battle, isn't it?!?
Sounds like a busy week! I can't believe that's it's the last Monday already. The kids go back to school 3 September. The 6 weeks just flew by!!
I rarely read Christmasy books but I feel like reading them this year.
That women's Freedom sounds interesting. Off to investigate - you made me laugh with "I didn't read this book on my kindle this week" I do a fair bit of that too!! #Bookdate
Old Flames, New Beginnings looks so cozy. :) Have a great week! :)
Yes, it is busy this summer, Kathryn. More inventory has helped. Thanks for visiting.
Thanks, Cindy. It's hard when I don't have a day off from work to stay on top of anything. Appreciate the visit.
I know, right? How quickly the month passed. Hope the kids have a great year, Emily! Thanks for visiting.
Hope you find some good Christmasy titles this year, Vicki. Thanks for stopping by.
It was a great book to edit, Lydia. Maybe if I scold myself on my blog often enough, I will read it. Such a good book, but review titles take first place. Thanks for visiting today.
It does, Meezan. Hoping to read it soon. Thanks for stopping by.
