Weekend Recap

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI hope you’ve all been having a great weekend. If you have a three day weekend, lucky you! I wish I did but oh well, it’s back to work.

Anyway, I did have a very nice weekend although believe it or not I actually told my husband I couldn’t make it to the bookstore for our regular date night. What is wrong with me? Well, I was afraid to go to the bookstore and be distracted by all the shiny new books and I am a bit behind on my book for my reading group which I’m leading this month. So instead we went to a local coffee shop and had a great afternoon. Best thing is that I’m not so behind on my book now.

PoetryChallenge-lrg-300x225In other book news have you seen Serena’s 2016 Poetry Challenge? There are several levels of participation and I’m going to strive to meet the Sonnet level which means reading three poetry collections. I think I can do it.

I do have a small poetry collection among my shelves which includes books from Pablo Neruda, Emily Dickinson, Billy Collins, several collections and also several collections in Spanish. Or, I could also take a look at this list of the best poetry books of 2015 and see what sounds good to me. I can already tell you that Mary Oliver’s book is going on my list.

I’ll probably see if my library has any of these books. Speaking of the library, I had more books to pick up this weekend. Oh my, I think I better get back to reading now. Hope you have a wonderful start of the week!
