Hello booknerds!!!
Where did the week go???
I had some lovely personal memories happen this week...
my nephew, my one and only, turned ONE this week!
AND, he has started to let go and walk long distances like a wobbly pro :)
Yes, I know I have 3 boys of my own, but having a nephew is just the best bonus ever!!! I love him so much - it's such a different kind of love, but it is SO much! I am enjoying every minute watching him grow! And, it's bittersweet seeing my little sister being a mom and a grown-up now, lol! I'm 6 1/2 years older than her, she will always be the 'baby'...
My baby bee is finally talking more! In between his baby gibberish you can make out words too, which means, he's trying to talk in full sentences already, lol! I really think he's going to outdo his brothers once he gets the hang of it... oh boy!
I had some lovely bookish memories too!
Don't you just looove it when authors reach out to you, like your tweets or IG pics...
OH! and when one of your favorite authors follows you back?! *flails*
And lastly, as you can see below, I got a good small stack of new reads this week...
my collection of The Scorpio Races has doubled! I'm hoping to now start collecting foreign editions!
I'm a happy bookworm... I hope you all are too!!! xo

your book shelf is so wide 0______0 I want a bookshelf like that. Shadow Scales looks interesting, what is it about? Nice haul and happy reading.

Your shelves. LOVE. I love all kinds of bookshelves. :) Also, you're doing so well in finding copies of your favourite books/authors. I do the same thing, but mostly, I find series that I haven't read. Currently, I feature them on my Friday Finds. Right now, I'm looking for copies of In Death series by JD Robb.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, your boy is soo adorable! Happy reading, Margie. :D
I love your bookshelves!! So pretty and organized. :) And it's so funny listening to the babes try and talk ... I'd love to know what he's trying to say! My guy doesn't say too many words right now, but he sure babbles a lot ... lol
ReplyDeleteI love your bookshelves!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fantastic week :) Happy Reading!
