It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, isthe perfect way for me to begin my week and allows me to focus on what needs to be read and to see what I have or have not accomplished the previous week. I also enjoy discovering new books by visiting other participants blogs.
Well, it ended up being a productive reading week and a productive week getting reviews done! I also had the opportunity to meet author Lisa See who was touring with her newest book, Dreams of Joy. Hoping this upcoming week ends up being as productive. The holiday weekend means sailing for my husband all three days and that means plenty of quality reading time for me, while sitting on the porch of the club.

A Summer Affair sounds interesting, so does Beachcombers. I love Amy Tan, and I loved The Hundred Secret Senses. She is such a wonderful author. Have a great week!
