This week....




Max

It was this handsome boys second birthday last week!




I'm reading

It's been a really busy reading week this week!

I finished The Itinerary by Penny Pentley, started and finished Clara Reads Proust by Stephani Carlier, both of which continue my recent run of French inspired reads. 

Next up I started and finished a short intro prequel to a series called The Barrington Series. I heard about this series over the weekend. The newest book in particular sounds appealing, but I thought I would start with this free prequel.

Finally, I started reading Midnight Blue by Simone van der Vlugt. This is a third book that will count for my read on a theme bookclub. The theme this month is Translated Books. I suspect they will give me some grief about over-achieving. What can I say?

I'm Watching

Who has time to watch anything!


Life


It's been a really busy week! Last week I spent a couple of days in Sydney as I was welcoming a new team member. I flew up on Monday, which was a public holiday, so I had a bit of time. I therefore took the opportunity to do a harbour cruise to see the amazing lights around the harbour as part of #vividSydney. 







I was home for a day and then we flew up to the Gold Coast for Rachael Johns Book Club Reader Retreat. This is the second retreat which I have attended, and it was fabulous. This is an opportunity to interact with other book people and authors. I plan to write more about this over the weekend!

  3. Great photos! Though I love bridge nighttime photos, I'm not a fan of traversing bridges. Happy birthday to your furry boy. Hope you enjoy your week. Thanks for visiting my blog on Monday.
