It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (12.3.12)

It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, is the 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.

After a busy couple of weeks, my husband and I headed up to our cabin for 4 days – it was just what we needed. I spent the days reading and crocheting while hubby went hunting and then did some projects around the cabin. There was snow on the ground when we got there and it snowed again while we where there – there’s nothing like sitting on the couch in front of the fire watching the snow fall. Now I just need a day to get caught up with my reviews!

    I have never heard of that LauraL before. She is the author I want to try, possibly still before end of year 🙂

    Sounds like you had a pretty awesome few days off. And sitting in front of the fire, with a good book and snow outside sounds heavenly 🙂

      Nora Roberts and Robyn Carr are great authors. I'm slowly making my way through the Virgin River books by Robyn Carr and you can never go wrong with Nora Roberts!
