Welcome to It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday.
It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from
Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the
Book Date.
Happy Monday! Here in Massachusetts, we are celebrating Patriots Day, which commemorates the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The 128th Boston Marathon will take place, and it is also the start of school vacation week. I kind of forget about that one since the kids are no longer that age.
Last week was stressful with work and trying to balance everything. I also had trouble sleeping. I've found I've gotten away from meal planning, daily prayer, and journaling, which felt like it kept me centered. I'm renewing my commitment to all those and am hopeful that will help.
In my reading and reviewing world, I'm also seeking focus.
On Saturday, I reviewed this personal growth book. You can read my review
here.
I started this one on Audible, but have determined it is not for me.
Our book club met on Wednesday to discuss
The Secret Garden. You can find my review
here.
Though I didn't read any of this one, but I need to get back to it.
I need to start this one.
I'm listening to this one on Audible.
I need to finish this one for an April 25th review.
I need to read this one for a May review.
This is our selection for May's book club, so I need to get back to reading this. I started it when it first arrived, but review books tied me up. Then I wandered off to read other things.
I also need to start this one for a May 31st review.
I would really like to continue with this series after I catch up on review books.
You can find books I have listed for sale on ebay by clicking
here. I will be adding more soon.

Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
Nothing this week, but as you can tell, I have enough books to keep me busy.
Looking forward to visiting your blogs today. Hope you have a nice week!
