Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers, grandmothers, step-mothers, godmothers, and mothers-to-be out there! Hope there's plenty of pampering planned for you today. 💖 Life I don't know about you guys but I am in need of a vacation. Not just a pack-my-bags, go-to-the-beach kind of vacation, but a day or two off of any kind of work and chores and worrying about things. I've been trying to take a day off work but have not been able to do that yet. I hope to do that this week but we'll see. This week, we enrolled our kids back at their swimming school. They've been open since last June with Covid-safe protocols. Obviously that was too early to resume activities, in my opinion, but we figured we were ready now.

Traveling with my books this year
One thing I always look forward to with these monthly review posts, is where I've been to this month. While I'd much rather go there physically, some times books can be a welcome travel tool too! I still have two continents I haven't visited at all - Africa and Australia.

Happy Reading!
Looking back over this month, you're definitely responsible for adding three books to my tbr list: Slow Death by Rubber Duck, 13 rue Therese, and The Good Daughter. I hope I can return the favor this month! :-)
