This fabulous weekly recap is hosted by Shelia of One Persons Journey Through a World of Books. Each week we recap what we’ve read and look at what’s coming up this week. If you’re interested head over to Shelia’s site and get involved! It’s a blast and I may even stop by to see what you’re up to!
Here’s what we’ve been up to this week:
This week has been crazy! We ended up having to buy a new car and had a BIG announcement here on the site. Not too mention I’ve been trying to sew like crazy for a few friends of mine who are getting ready to have babies. All of this while Littlebug and I have been feeling a bit under the weather. So, this week we’re hoping for some fabulous reading and relaxation time! How about you?

“Having to buy a new car” does not sound good.
I don’t really know any of your books, but the cover of How Do Dinosaurs looks like a lot of fun!
Enjoy your books this week!

Thanks so much, I’m really hoping to. The car was more of an unexpected nicety. We had planned on purchasing our lease and ended up just picking up a new one instead. Worked out nicely, but was a little bit of a hassle.
Have a great reading week!

I have to (HAVE TO) read the Mortal Instrument Series. Maybe this will be my focus for the Readathon.

Read your reviews on Gone and Mortal Instruments series, I will be reading the later, but may not bother with the Wake or Gone. You had a great week, and I hope this one is wonderful too.
Great list of books! Gone looks like something I’d enjoy.

Looks like you (and Turkeybird) have several good titles on your to-read list. Can’t wait to see what you think of them as they post…. ^_^

I’m looking forward to all the kids book reviews you have planned. And I’ll be interested in hearing what you think of Ima Somebody. I knew my kindergartner wasn’t ready for it, but wonder what moms of older kids may think.

I loved The Mortal Instruments series too. I’ve only read Wake but I hope to read the rest of the series.
I hope you enjoy your reading. 13 Treasures looks good.
I’ve been meaning to check into the Mortal Instruments series. I have had a few teens request this one. I’ll be reading your review as soon as I post this. Thanks!

I love the picture on your profile, the heart/hands/feet. Love baby feet. Love babies. It’s a good thing I have a couple of grandchildren!
The How Dinosaurs…books by Jan Yolen are wonderful books. Most of the ones that I’ve read are quick and simple, yet very cute. The grandbabies love them too.
Hope you enjoy your new car, if not the payments (heehee), but it must me very nice to have a care that doesn’t have any non-working parts.

My cousin recommended this blog and she was totally right keep up the fantastic work!
Congratulations on the Birthday and the follower celebration.
Sorry to hear about the car. 
You have some fun books to read with little ones! I hope this week has been better for you and that you and Littlebug are feeling better!
