It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (7.16.12)

It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, isthe perfect way
for me to
begin my week and allows me to
focus on what
needs to be read and to see what I
have or have not
accomplished the previous week.
I also enjoy
discovering new books by
visiting other participants
blogs.

It was a good week. I got some reading done, including finishing up 2 audio books and spent some time organizing my bookshelves. I also did some heavy-duty cleaning of my house – this heat is causing the dog to shed so much that there is hair everywhere! 

I’m heading to the beach next weekend and I cannot wait – my first beach trip of the summer! My sister-in-law has a beach house and I can’t wait to spend time with her and my nephew and soak up the sun, listen to the waves and get some quality reading time in!
