Welcome to my Monday Musings. Wow, the thing about missing last week’s weekly update is that we’re halfway into August already and it went by so fast. I was inundated last week with work and there just wasn’t time to do the Monday update. It wasn’t just all work, luckily. We had friends over for dinner, I had a wonderful morning visit with some girlfriends, it was my youngest’s 16th birthday, and I’m using this week to catch up with some household chores.

And now on to the reading part of the post. (To find out more about the books: For mobile users – tap on the image of the book cover. For PC users – just hover the mouse over the cover.)
