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

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change it.  Thinking an
