We’ve made it through Week One of the summer and it was a doozy, I will tell you what. The Boy had a sleepover on Monday night that turned into a weeklong ordeal that didn’t end until Friday evening. Yes, y’all – it was a Four. Night. Long. Sleepover. Five days, if you count the fact that this young man did not leave until 5:30 PM on Friday. Do you have any idea how many games of UNO that entailed? Seriously, I love that child almost like he was my own, but am I glad that is over! Back to our regular programming, now, please! One good thing that came of our houseguest was that I had a little extra time for reading in the evenings – here’s a glimpse at what my week looked like on the literary front:

Books I read this week:

The End of Always by Randi Davenport
The Dirty Girls Social Club by Alisa Valdes
One Hundred Names by Cecelia Ahern
Dream with Little Angels by Michael Hiebert
Close to the Broken Hearted by Michael Hiebert

Book I’m currently reading:

The Forgotten Seamstress by Liz Trenow

Posts from the week of June 1st:

Upcoming posts for the week of June 9th:

Review: The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches by Alan Bradley
Library Love
…and more!

I’d been looking forward to reading The End of Always for quite a while, and I wasn’t disappointed. Look for my review later this week. The Dirty Girls Social Club has been one of my fave books from years past and I dusted it off for a re-read this week – still just as wonderful as before. Cecelia Ahern is back to the basics with One Hundred Names – none of that fantastical, magical crap that I found so annoying in some of her past novels; this one is reminiscent of her earlier writing. Dream with Little Angels and Close to the Broken Hearted are the first and second novels in a series by Michael Hiebert – pretty good; it’s quite possible I’ll continue to keep up with the following novels in the series. You’ll see a review for one of these coming up on the blog soon, as well. Hope y’all enjoyed this glance at my week – and as always, Happy Reading to you all!
