It's Monday! What Are You Reading? & Mailbox Monday - Sep 27

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are, and are 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. 

Happy Monday! Glad to have you here. Hope all is well. Can you believe that September is almost over?

I had a closing on Friday. Two closings are scheduled for Wednesday, and I just put a property under contract, which means I already have two closings scheduled for October. It is good to be blessed. 

I took part of Saturday and all of Sunday off because I am tired. The hubby has been sick, so I also wanted to keep him out of the rain and from walking the dog as much as possible. I made the mistake of going to the grocery store on Saturday and forgot how much the news scares everyone when bad weather is on the way. Granted, many areas of the Northeast were hit hard by this storm, but we live miles from the closest river. 

Here are some recent photos:

Lots going on in my reading world.
