Oh yikes, this once-in-two-week blogging routine better not be a habit. I hope it's just an indication of how busy July can get with planning for a birthday and doing different summer things. Life The girl had her birthday party today with friends from school and she had a fun day! It was nice seeing the kids have fun outside of school and take over the bouncy event place like they knew every corner of it. I was grateful for everyone who were brave enough to come to a party despite recent rises in case count. Thankfully most or all of us were vaccinated so that made the decision-making easier. Now that the party is behind me, I have a ton of things to get back to. I am hoping for a quieter week ahead and a chance to catch up on a few things. Reading I honestly haven't read much in the last two weeks. Well, at least not prose. Instead, I've been reading Marvel Comics. Don't ask.

place for readers to share the books
that came into their house last week (checked out library books don’t

co-hosted by Eva @ A Striped Armchair
and Marg
@ Reading Adventures that encourages bloggers to share the books
they’ve checked out from the library.You know how a visit to the library usually is? You walk in, and there is this big stack right in the front, screaming "New Arrivals". Now, you probably already made up your mind on what you want to pick up - maybe some holds, maybe that book which you've always been wanting to read. But how do you turn your head away when these gleaming covers out front fight for your attention?
So last week, in the middle of a reading funk, I went to the library to stare at those new covers and pick one.
