I am linking up to the Sunday Post hosted by the wonderful Kim of Caffeinated Book Reviewer, where participants recap our week, talk about what we are reading, share any new books that have come our way, and whatever else we want to talk about. I am also linking up to Saturday Snapshot hosted by the amazing Melinda Ott of West Metro Mommy Reads.
I hope your weekend has gotten off to a good start. I am hoping I can get in a little reading today while my daughter is in the Wizard of Oz rehearsals. I usually end up chatting with the other parents or peeking through the window or curtain to see how the practice going. Tickets have gone on sale now that the venue is set and I put in my order. We are getting closer!
We are enjoying the weather, but missing the cooler temperatures already. My roses are taking full advantage of the spring season.
We had a quiet birthday for my husband. Check out this cake. It is totally him if ever a cake could be.
My daughter's school play was also this past week. Her class put on several skits of Aesop's Fables with songs match. It was such a cute performance. I could tell the children had put in a lot of hard work to bring it all together. Mouse has just one more week of school left, and, from the sounds of it, it will be a fun week for the children.
My two cats are getting along more. Gracie still goes into jealous rages (okay, so maybe "rage" is a bit strong of a word) now and then, but I have to admit Nina sometimes deserves a swat given how she teases Gracie.
We are expecting my in-laws, from out of town later today. I spent part of yesterday moving furniture around to make room for the new pieces we are adding in as my in-laws downsize and prepare for their upcoming move. I am already wondering if we haven't said yes to too much.
What I Am Reading: I am about halfway through Jennifer Ashley's cozy historical mystery, Scandal Above Stairs, the second in the Kat Holloway series, and enjoying it quite a bit. I also have started reading The Girl in the Green Silk Gown by Seanan McGuire, an urban fantasy novel about a hitchhiking ghost. It is really good as well!
What I Am Watching: I found myself watching the musical television show Galavant earlier in the week about a singing knight, a couple of princesses, and an evil king. I can see why it flopped as it really isn't that good. I watched the entire two seasons though. I could not look away. My husband, daughter and I started watching the first season of The Great British Baking Show. I do not normally like cooking shows of any kind, but I am enjoying this one. Everyone is so nice to each other!
What I Am Listening To: As I was rearranging furniture and cleaning house this week, I started listening to Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. There's something to be said for these relatively short classics.

This Past Week In Reading Mews:
No reviews this week, I am afraid. I have not had time to sit down and really work on them. I just realized my last post was my 2000 published one. That's crazy.

Thank you for helping me decide what book from my TBR collection I should read next:
My TBR List is a meme hosted by the awesome Michelle at Because Reading. It’s a fun way to choose a book from your TBR pile to read. The 1st Saturday of every month, I will list 3 books I am considering reading and take a poll as to which you think I should read. I will read the winner that month, and my review will follow (unfortunately, not likely in the same month, but eventually--that's all I can promise).
