Good morning! Today’s post will link up to The Sunday Salon, The Sunday Post and Stacking the Shelves, for weekly updates.
**Mailbox Monday is hosted at the home site: Mailbox Monday.
And let’s welcome Kathryn, our new leader in It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, at The Book Date.
***
My week was spent mostly reading ONE book, although I then went on to finish another. The book I spent so much time on was more than 500 pages and awesome, but I was distracted by other things. Like prepping for carpet cleaning next week. Who knew prepping could be so time-consuming? Here is the preliminary Graveyard of my Stuff in the garage (below)….there will be more.
I also caught up on some TV shows returning from hiatus: The Leftovers, The Affair, and How to Get Away with Murder. (Did anyone read Tom Perrotta’s book The Leftovers?) I loved it!

It rained this week, and while I usually love reading in the rain, I was annoyed…because of the thunder. I was worried about a power outage. But it didn’t happen! Yay!
