This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey!
Second week of school complete, and another busy weekend - book club and a family gathering. And (of course) I have come down with my first cold of the year. Hooray! (That was sarcastic. . .)

My Recent Posts

Summer Reads I Want to Reread
Should/Should Not - The Martian by Andy Weir
My 31 in 31 List (My goals for the next year!)

Emma by Jane Austen (Finally done rereading this beloved book for the read-along!)
House of Living Stones by Katie Schuermann (If you like Jan Karon's Mitford, you would love this book.)
Dragon on Trial by Tui & Kari Sutherland (This series just keeps getting better!)
I just realized as I was looking at Goodreads, that all three of my reads this week were five-star reads! It's been a good week!

House of Living Stones is just as delightful as its cover! Hope your week has been great!

Emma was definitely one of my favorite Austen novels. But I think Pride and Prejudice beats it. it's so classic!

I love Emma, but I agree with you about P&P. It's so hard to beat that one! :)

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
