It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

-
Hello! Welcome Monday Morning! I have decided to take part in It's Monday! What Are You Reading? hosted by Kathyrn at Book Date. I recently discovered her blog by reading another friend's blog, Collettas Kitchen Sink. I highly recommend that you stop by both of these for anything literature related.

Now, I have never read books and got paid to review them or get free books to review, but it would be an awesome thing to do as I thoroughly enjoy reading most books. Some I find that I am just not interested in, but usually can read it anyway.

This week, I am reading The Favorite Daughter by Patti Callahan Henry. It's an interesting read that deals with reflection, forgiveness, and has plenty of twists. Lena Donahue has experienced a betrayal that is almost unimaginable, but finds a way to move on and finally after much soul searching discovers what home truly means.
I got this from the library so it should be easy to locate it and I personally, have never read anything else by this author, but I am intrigued to see what other books she has available.

      No, I am not retiring yet. I have more years to work before I hit the age to retire.

    I just finished the book "Where the crawdads grow". I loved it! Haven't read for a while and it felt good to get back at it. I need a new book to read. I'll give this a try.
    Thanks,
    Jann

Babies Have Arrived

 The long-awaited day has arrived. Our oldest has successfully brought twins into the world. They were a little less traditional as her struggle to have children has been a journey, but we have twin boy and girl babies currently. Both are doing well, even though baby boy had to go to NICU for a bit.  I don't know what they weigh yet, as dad is not good with sending details. I know that they are healthy, and that mom is okay as well. It does look as though they are a good size considering that the baby girl was labeled as failure to thrive early on in the pregnancy. I believe that they both are going to be fine! I won't give out names, so we will call them Baby L (girl) and baby R (boy), Names are unique and I think that they will enjoy knowing a bit of time went into the names.

I will be linking this to the Happy Homemaker Monday post over on  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom . If you have no idea as to what Happy Homemaker Monday is, you should head over and read the many posts that Sandra has there.  The Weather in My Neck of the Woods... FRIGID!

  New author alert!  Marie Spears Botkin is a new author, and this book is available on Amazon. All readers should step into The Sparkle Forest. Is it a real place or a place in Avery's dream? Is it real or imaginary? The story begins with Avery, a child in the foster system, being new in town learning of a bridge in the town of Cloud that has an interesting story behind it. As Avery dreads the upcoming Halloween holiday, which happens to be her birthday, she suddenly is sent a mysterious letter in the mail. Will the meeting with Merry Mother really happen? Who is Merry Mother and how can she possibly know anything about Avery? Is this a prank? Avery will only find out if she goes to this meeting, so she asks if she is allowed to attend a birthday party that evening instead of trick or treating.
