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.
Here we are again on Monday. Hope you had a nice weekend. As I am typing, it's late Sunday, and my eyes are blurry from reading and notetaking all afternoon, but it was a productive week. Here are a few photos:
Made vegetable broth
The Lil' Princess was home for a quick trip
We visited the new Hobby Lobby, and I picked up a cross-stitch kit
It was nice to have the Lil' Princess home for a few days. She flew in late Thursday and headed back to school Sunday afternoon. I worked Friday morning, but I kept the rest of the weekend for her, and we went shopping for a graduation dress. We each bought an embroidery kit and worked on them Saturday night.
In my blogging and reading world, I posted reviews of:
The Curious Life of Cecilia Payne: Discovering the Stuff of Stars by Laura Alary. You can read it here.
I also posted a First Chapter Review of ZigZag Girl by Ruth Knafo Setton. You can read that review and enter the giveaway here.
I listened to this one in the car this week. I have less than two hours to go with my listening of 100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist's Guide to a Happy Life by Dick Van Dyke.
I finished Dream Facades: The Cruel Architecture of Reality TV by Jack Balderrama Morley. Great book. Most of it was interesting, but it had a weak ending.
Next up is Agatha Christie, She Watched by Teresa Peschel, for an April review. I am so excited to dive into this one.
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.
I did not order anything new this week, but I downloaded a NetGalley copy of Murder, Local Style by Leslie Karst for my April review.

Christmas Year Round
Christmas Year Round's blog has not gotten a new post yet, because I was busy reading. It should be posted today.
The Children's and Teens' Book Connection
My reviews of the two books I read were posted above.
Laura's Little Houses
I finally finished my profile of Albert Quinn Ingalls. You can read it here.
Netflix announced it ordered a second season of Little House on the Prairie ahead of the series' July 9 premiere. I shared that here. Are you planning to watch it?
That's it for me this week. I have appointments this morning, so it might be the afternoon before I visit your blog. Enjoy your day!
