I've been having quite a few busy weekends and haven't been able to post often on Sundays. Renovating I have dropped a teaser here a few times but here's the scoop finally - We are renovating a big chunk of our main level. We've been planning this for the past 6-7 months. It started as a kitchen renovation project but now includes flooring through the main floor and master bathroom. We will have the renovation crew start tomorrow and depending on when all the materials get in, it could be 1.5-3 months before they are done. I just hope the flooring is done quickly because then we can reclaim some of the main floor back. Not having a kitchen for 2-3 months is going to be very challenging but we've been promised a small work area on the main floor where we can cook early morning and later in the evening. But I'm thinking more about the little things - making coffee while I work, taking care of the day to day activities - the upstairs and the basement can be used b
This is a weekly event initially hosted by J. Kaye at J. Kaye's Book Blog, now by Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books, to celebrate what you are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.

News from over here
I'm so thrilled that I had a great week reading! It's been long since I had that kind of week. But of course, that means I'll be spending extra time this week writing reviews. Why, why, why isn't there an invention yet that can translate our thoughts into text automatically. At least, I already got one of those reviews up.

Books on my nightstand
Five books still on my nightstand, plus I went to the library and brought in three more books. Would be great if I could read so much. I have one ongoing read at work, I need to pick one read for home.
Stranger Here Below by Joyce Hinnefeld:
Lately, there has been so many new releases from Unbridled Books, and they have been receiving so much praise too. But I haven't seen too much of this one - I'm not sure why. I started this last week at work when I really needed a short break, and right from page one, I got hooked. It's written in an easy style and the story seems to promise a lot too.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling:
This is for now, my meal times book. Usually I like to focus on my food when I eat, but with Harry Potter, it doesn't matter. I hope to finish this by coming weekend, but it all depends.
Comments
I agree, the Shopaholic is just great fun. Hope you enjoy this week's books too!
Thanks for visiting the other day.
