Today is the first day of It's Monday, what are you reading with the new host,  Kathryn from Book Date.  I have been following her blog for almost a year. I am know you will do well with it.


It was a fun weekend, we went to a pumpkin patch on Saturday and my daughter loved it, except when I try to take pictures of course.  There was animals there and she was feeding a goat and loved it. We then went to my parents for a potluck on Sunday so that was fun.

Up next to read: ( Yes there are some christmas books, I probably won't get to them until November, but I wanted to put them on here so I remember those are the ones I want to read)

Review

Genre: Woman Fiction
Rating 4/5
Review:  I really like this book, I like how it was a easy read.  Every chapter title had how many steps the character did which I thought was cool.  There was a little romance for the main character which I thought was nice, but it didn't take away from the story about the three woman that became good friends. Look forward to reading from this author.

Review

Genre: Cozy Mystery
Rating 4/5
Is this part of a series - yes
Review:  I really enjoy this series, this is the first time I read this author and this series, even though this wasn't the first book in the series, you could understand it.  I love all the characters and I can't wait to read more to this series!

Week Review

It was a good week. I finished one book, so I was happy about that.  I had a date night last night, so my sister looked after my daughter.  So my daughter got to see her cousins, who are much older than her, but they had lots of fun playing with her.

You still have time to vote on what my next book should be. I haven't finished my current book yet. Here is the link:
