This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date.
Isn't relaxed summer life the best? There's not much going on here. My little guy had his first ice cream cone yesterday. He devoured it and got very sticky. Good thing we did it just before bath time! How is your summer going?

My Recent Post

How I Bullet Journal

What I Read Last Week

Think No Evil: Inside the Story of the Amish Schoolhouse Shooting. . .and Beyond by Jonas Beiler (This is our July book club book. Such a tragedy and an amazing story of forgiveness.)
The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic by Jennifer Trafton (This is a really, really, really good book. I've read several books now that I first heard about on the Read Aloud Revival podcast, and they never fail to disappoint. 5+ stars for this one!)

What I'm Reading Now

Picture
A Heart Revealed by Julie Lessman (Every time I read another Julie Lessman book, I think it's the best one. They just keep getting better and better!)

What's Coming Up Next

Picture
My Life with Bob by Pamela Paul (I was so excited to see this one on my library's shelf. Books about books are the best!)

Yay for ice cream! Our little guy loves it too. :) He is a vanilla fan all the way.

I am intrigued by A Heart Revealed!

Vanilla ice cream is practically healthy for them, right? ;)

I do love summer! Though it never seems as relaxing as I would like :)

I think I'm going to have to bump The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic up my TBR list... I do already have a copy :)

The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic was so good! I'm so sad that I'm not teaching anymore, because I am just itching to read that book aloud to a class!

    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.
