Hope you all had a great week. I got to see one of my best friends on Friday so we had a great time catching up over dinner and coffee. The rest of the weekend just flew by between chores and errands. I tell you, my goal is to do a lot of stuff during this week so that I can actually have free time for the upcoming Labor Day weekend. I want to craft!
Last week I did make it out to my mystery book group and we enjoyed discussing Sworn to Silence by Linda Castillo. I am so excited this is the first in a series because I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more. The author did a good job of creating likeable characters and most of all kept me guessing quite a bit.
This weekend, I started reading America is Not the Heart by Elaine Castillo and am finding it very interesting. It’s the story of a woman who comes to America looking for a fresh start after upheaval in the Philippines. I’m only 30 pages or so into the story but I definitely want to know more!
One book I did have to set aside is Eden by Andrea Kleine. It starts off with the story of two sisters separated and unfortunately I listening an audiobook with basically the same premise and I didn’t want to start getting confused by these stories so this one is on hold for later.
So that’s the latest. What’s been going on with you? I hope your week is off to a great start!
Sounds like a good plan, iliana. I hope you get everything done you hope to this week. I meant to run some much needed errands this past weekend that didn’t get done. Now they have to wait until next. I am glad you enjoyed Sworn to Silence! I need to jump back into that series. America Is Not the Heart sounds like a good one as well. I am glad you like it so far.
It’s been a typical week for us. Homework started for the little one this week. Next week will be the real test with Girl Scouts starting back up, plus her dance classes. Let the juggling act begin. Haha Have a great week!
I’m hoping to get a ton of stuff done this week, too… and enjoy a relaxing weekend! Glad you got to spend some time with your friend. It’s great to catch up!
Glad you liked Sworn to Silence. The rest of Castillo’s books are equally good. 🙂
I love spending time with friends and need to make more of an effort to plan for dinner dates with them. We’ve been super busy this month, though, with visitors and traveling. I have a lot to accomplish in the next week, as we are heading out on a two-month long roadtrip the day after Labor Day! I’m trying not to stress out about getting it ALL done, but there are so many details that can’t be ignored. My reading is suffering, but I just did some yoga/pilates and my mind feels calm, so that’s a good thing. Enjoy the rest of your week and have a great Labor Day weekend!
