This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date.
We went on a little weekend getaway this weekend, and I discovered just how different traveling with a kid is. We went to the other side of the state, so my little guy got his first experience with Lake Michigan. He loved playing in the sand, but not so much in the cold waves. I did get a surprising amount of reading in, though. What else are you going to do when you have to be back at the hotel at 8:00 for bedtime, but you don't want to go to bed yourself yet?

    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.
