It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (4.15.13)

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.

Vacation is finally here…we leave tomorrow for Aruba and I cannot wait!!! I have my Kindle loaded up with books, have a few print books to bring along as well and plenty of sunblock. This is the third time we are heading to Aruba and we have a good routine set up – I sit on the beach all day and read while hubby goes off scuba diving. This year, though, I want to try Stand-Up Paddleboarding…it looks fun and I figure the warm, clean water in Aruba is the best place to try it out!

    Hope you enjoy Come Home…I always relish a good Scottoline read. Eleven on Top was the first Evanovich I read….I have been reading "out of order" ever since! lol

    Have a great week, and thanks for visiting my blog.

    Summer Breeze and Wind Chime Point both sound fun – and perfect for the springtime mood I am in.

      They were both great. Wind Chime Point is the second in Sherryl Woods' newest series…my review for it will be up the beginning of May.

    You are going to have a fabulous vacation. I am so jealous. I've been to Aruba twice, once on my honeymoon and again right before we decided to have kids. I probably won't be going again until I retire (LOL) but I hope you have a lovely time. It is the perfect relaxing vacation spot.
