What’s Going On…
Well it’s Monday again! I’ve been a bit absent lately – apologies!! I was sadly sick for several weeks – probably Mono..Yuck!! Once I started feeling better, I couldn’t wait another minute to get outside and work in my back yard. I’m sooo happy to say that there has been some major progress.
This past weekend the hubs and I celebrated our 12th Wedding Anniversary. We went out to a nice dinner at a favorite local restaurant. He also bought me a swing for the back yard! I’ve wanted one for awhile now and I’m really looking forward to some relaxing reading time out there!
-
- The herb bed is finished!
-
- New flowers planted

- New back yard swing!
There are still some little fun things to get done but for the most part, all the hard work is finished!

It’s Monday What Are You Reading?
Well this past week or so…not much. But I’ve got a my TBR for June all ready to go and I’m ready to read!
The last book I finished was Before We Were Yours and it was amazing! I didn’t realize until after I’d finished it that it’s a fictionalized story based on a (terrible) true story!! It’s about a lady, Georgia Tann, who stole infants and children from poor families and sold them to wealthy families. Her black market adoption agencies ran from the 1920’s – 1950’s when she was shut down. The book is written very well and the characters are amazing. It’s heartbreaking so be prepared for all the feels and lucky for you, this one hits shelves tomorrow!!
And now on to the GIVEAWAY!!!! U.S. Only Please.

I’m adding Before We Were Yours to my wishlist. Armchair Book Expo, getting ready to move, drama club, and a volunteers’ tea. Come see what I’m reading this week.
Ooh the swing looks nice! Good reading spot. 🙂
Before We Were Yours being based on a true story is kinda scary, how awful that something like that happened.
Hope you have a good reading week!
Thanks! I can’t wait to spend afternoons out there.
Happy Anniversary! It’s always fun to start prepping your yard for a summer of time outside. 🙂
Thank you! Yes I love spring and all the fresh new plants.
I just got Before We Were Yours and cannot wait to read it. I’ve seen some great reviews!
Oh yeah! It really was good. Hope you enjoy it.
