Time is flying by! It's August already! ARGH! That means in just two short weeks I will go back to work. From now until then I have packed in a lot of different activities we have been meaning to do all summer that have just waited til the end.
I can also see my leisure reading time slowly dwindling right before my eyes. I still read a lot during the school year, but I have so enjoyed staying up late and reading and sleeping in a bit later, reading first thing when I get up. This week we are off to see my sister for a day. My mom always goes with us and we usually manage a trip to the zoo, Barnes and Noble and the mall. This year my oldest daughter also wants to see the state capitol, which shouldn't be too hard to do. Unfortunately, I am the driver on this trip, so there won't be any reading going on.
The only good thing I can find about it being August already is that the new IndieBound picks for the month are up, and there are several that look really good. While July was not a stellar reading month, I did get through lots on my never-ending TBR pile. Check out my reading list for the year.
Tonight we are having company for supper - a family that has three boys close to the same age as my girls, and a mom who likes to read as much as I do. I love getting together with them so we can talk books (and lots of other stuff, too).
This summer flew by!! All my ideas for summer reading never came and went.
ReplyDeleteI am in So. California and we've had a very mild summer. I think somehow we went right into Fall.
My kids start school next week and I register my son for jr. high tomorrow. I'm not ready!
