Not the best way to send off the month of August, but at least my husband's cousin is doing much better now. <br /><br />I'm not sure "loving" would be the word I would use to describe Mouse's feelings about school, but she does seem to enjoy it. We do hear now and then how she doesn't want to go to school anymore. Haha<br /><br />I read more books in e-book form too. Although I'm starting to fit more print books in. But the e-books still outweigh the print.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-35363244269077159632016-09-08T17:36:09.289-07:002016-09-08T17:36:09.289-07:00So sorry about the death and the heart attack in y...So sorry about the death and the heart attack in your family! Sending you and your family several thoughts and prayers!<br /><br />So glad to hear that Mouse is loving school! I can't imagine getting through that phase without a lot of tears. So it's definitely wonderful that she enjoys it.<br /><br />Love this month's Lit Box.

We are all relieved. <br /><br />Mouse had her first experience with a substitute teacher yesterday. She told me last night she doesn't like school because there are only two play times. Haha<br /><br />I love the idea of having baskets of books lying around. I have a few baskets that might be perfect for that . . . As if I need to add more books.

The mug has titles of banned books all over it, some of which are blocked out until the mug is full of a hot liquid, and then the words are uncovered. I haven't had a chance to test it out yet as I'm not a tea or coffee drinker, but maybe when it's cooler and I have some hot chocolate.<br /><br />I don't see a problem with bookcases in every room.

Your picks for the TBR List challenge look really good - it was a toss up for me between The Invisible Library and Wishing Cross Station but I ultimately went with Wishing Cross Station since I love time travel books! And I have 2 new additions to my TBR list thanks to this.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to your review on Blame it on a Cowboy! I've been looking for romantic suspense books, so this might just be the one to satisfy the craving :D<br /><br />I have stacks of books around the house as well, which my mother doesn't like as it makes our space look cluttered, so I do my best to keep them out of sight.<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful September Wendy, and that Mouse cries less as the days go by so she can enjoy Kindergarten to the fullest! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-42883475430037799012016-09-06T07:40:31.029-07:002016-09-06T07:40:31.029-07:00Wishing your husband's cousin a speedy recover...Wishing your husband's cousin a speedy recovery - how wonderful that his son was able to do this.<br /><br />Such good to hear Mouse is enjoying school.

I was hoping to stop there this weekend, but it didn't work out. <br /><br />I am really excited about the lit box package this month. I adore Nadia Hashimi's work. She's a beautiful writer and her books are always so emotional and eye-opening. <br /><br />I am finally feeling better today, thankfully. Now to just be rid of this cough. Mouse finished the last of her antibiotics yesterday and is quite happy about that. LOL She really hated having to take it. <br /><br />We are all so proud of my husband's cousin's son for his quick actions. As you said, he is a hero. His dad just woke up today and was able to respond to a few simple commands. It's still early yet, but this is definitely good news. Thank you for the well wishes.<br /><br />That's what Mouse said too-when asked why she's so sad to go to school. She says she misses her dad and me. I told her I'm always with her, right there in her heart. Hopefully this week will go better.<br /><br />Thank you for voting! I think The Invisible Library is in the lead if the comments are anything to go by.<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful week too, Maria.

It's the best yet! <br /><br />I haven't seen Narcos or Penny Dreadful, but I do want to. I have heard good things about both shows. <br /><br />That first day of school, I had taken the day off from work and I felt so lost after dropping her off. I didn't want to do anything but run back and pick her up. My husband was in the same state. It was pretty pathetic. LOL They grow so fast.<br /><br />It really is scary--my husband's cousin isn't much older than my husband and I. He woke up today, and is showing signs he understands simple direction.
