Hope you all had a really nice weekend. For those of you who celebrated Father’s Day, I hope you made lots of great memories. My mom and I reminisced about my dad but then again, that is no different from any other day. I miss him so much. And, then we were watching the news and saw an in-depth story about the current policy on separating families. It breaks your heart and I feel so sorry for all the children who aren’t with their parents right now. I’m sorry, I typically don’t mention politics as we all need a place to get away from it but this is just not ok. So if you feel like you can help please visit this link for phone numbers and emails to contact elected officials. Let’s keep families together!
Anyway, let me move on to something much more lighter although some fans may not think this is a joking matter. Ha. The World Cup. Did you see Mexico beat Germany 1-0? We didn’t watch the game but I made sure to do a little victory dance when I told my husband the final score. I did want to mention that even if you aren’t following the games how about a World Cup in books? Here is one crime novel for every country in the World Cup. I’ve only read a couple of the authors mentioned and one of the books.
Speaking of books, I know I mentioned I was going to do a bit of book buying to celebrate my bloggiversary. Well, we did go to Barnes & Noble on Friday but I couldn’t find a book I was looking for but that evening I did a bit of book shopping online so when my order gets here I promise to let you know what I got.
That’s about it for the weekend. I haven’t gotten very far in my current reads and I’m blaming it all on my HR studies. I’ll be done with those in two more week so then I can catch up with my books. I am really excited about this week though because I am finally going to return to my mystery book group. Hopefully I’ll finish my book by then.
So, what about you, what were you up to this week?
Glad you’ll get to go to your mystery group. Hope it’s a great discussion. I always love meeting with mine. 🙂
It saddens me to hear about the children being separated from their families too. Given my work, I know all too well the trauma caused to children when separated from their families–although for other reasons. Even now, we do what we can to try and keep that from happening when possible. Anyway, it’s a topic I could go on and on about.
I haven’t been following the World Cup, although a friend was telling me all about the Mexico/Germany game you mention. 🙂 She and her dad were texting through the whole game evidently (watching it from different locations). My friend was quite excited with the outcome too. I hope you have a great time at your mystery book club!
I am jealous of my daughter right now. She’s on summer break. Oh well. I had my turn when I was her age, didn’t I? Haha
Enjoy you week, Iliana.
Using the Bible to justify taking a children from their parents amazes me. Can’t wait to see what books you’ve gifted yourself. 🙂
Happy blog-versay and enjoy watching the World Cup, I’ve watched a few games here and there.
It is heart breaking about the children being separated from their families, I hope they are re-united soon. As a mother, I can’t even fathom something like that happening.
Enjoy your weekend and happy reading 🙂
