It’s that time of the month again when my book review shelves need to be cleared. My reading pace this whole summer has been fast for me at about 11 books per month. That’s sure to slow WAY down as I’m back at work this week and won’t be spending lazy days on my front porch reading for hours any longer. (So sad!) Still, I appreciate all the extra time I’ve had AND just how great books have been for me this summer.

I hope all moms out there had a very happy Mother’s Day. Mine was quiet, because the real action for my Mother’s Day is coming tomorrow when my son, daughter-in-law, and two sweet grand-babies arrive for a short visit. They live in Montana, so I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like, but love that when we do get together it’s always so much fun.
