Hey everyone! Long time no chat. As you may know I've been a bit MIA in terms of personal updates lately. I've been dealing with some personal stuff that has been keeping me preoccupied. Hopefully with this Sunday Wrap-up I will get back on a regular schedule here on the blog again.
Here in Canada we are celebrating the Victoria Day long weekend, or May 2-4 as we like to call it. Last night I had a BBQ and bonfire with my family. The weather is finally nice enough to enjoy it, although it is getting hot.
I have been doing great with my reading progress lately and have read some wonderful books this month.
My Reading Progress:
Books Completed:
I admit that I was a bit intimidated going into this award winning novel, but I did end up enjoying it and gave it a 4/5 rating.

My boyfriend and I decided to listen to an audio book together via the Overdrive app. I wanted to pick a book that he would be interested in too so I was looking for something with some adventure in it. I came across the Percy Jackson series and knowing that he is interested in the Greek gods I decided to give it a try.
Much to both of our surprise we are really enjoying it! I don't know why I waited so long to give this series a try. We are hoping to finish up this first book tonight.
I am also re-reading:
I hope that you are all having a wonderful weekend. Have you read any of the books I've read in this weeks wrap-up? I've love to hear from you so leave me a message in the comments.

I remember reading Little House, I always loved the idea of exploring the prairie. :) A classic cover too. Enjoy your long weekend, those are the best. I'm looking forward to ours next weekend. BBQ and a bonfire sound pretty good. :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to re-create wouldn't it? Hope you enjoy your long weekend coming up too Greg.
DeleteI can't believe I haven't read The Color Purple yet. I'll have to change that soon :)
ReplyDeleteMy It's Monday! What Are You Reading? post.
Hey better late than never. I hope you enjoy it when you get around to reading it.
DeleteI've been wanting to read the Percy Jackson series for a while but hadn't thought of reading it as an audio - I'll have to look in to that. It's great that you and your partner are both able to enjoy the same book.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!

It was fun to read in audio, although some of the voices the narrator did for different characters could have been better. I think the fact that he and I listened to it together made it even more enjoyable for me. :) Happy reading to you as well.
DeleteSometimes real life takes over, hope it all gets sorted for you. I read and enjoyed The Color Purple many years ago, what I liked was the many passages of wisdom that were in the book. I just bought Saving Ceecee Honeycutt and am looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathryn. Things are much better than they were so I am thankful for that. Glad to hear you enjoyed The Color Purple as well. I can definitely see why it is considered a classic. Hope you love Saving CeeCee Honeycutt as much as I did.
DeleteGreat Picks this week. The Color Purple is one of my favorites and I loved the musical. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know The Color Purple was turned into a musical. I knew about the movie though and hope to get a chance to watch it sometime.
DeleteHappy reading to you too Heather.
