It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila @ Book Journey.
It’s been another wonderful week of reading and busyness around these parts. How was your week? Bookish? Fantastic? I hope so!
Today is my son’s 15th birthday. Sigh. Where have the years gone? Happy birthday Carter! My youngest daughter, Avery, turned 13 in March. It’s officially a teenage zone at my house. Ack!

Wow! Our kids are the same ages-my son will be 15 in August and my daughter also turned 13 in March. It is definitely like living in the Twilight Zone- where all the food disappears at an amazing rate

Thanks 😀 Yes, that is extremely scary! I think he'll be fairly cautious because that's the kind of guy that he is. But lack of experience makes me nervous!

Happy Birthday to your son, I love having grown up children, toddler years (well one toddler in particular) were a special kind of hell in our house and teenage years … \”mothers of teenagers know why some animals eat their young\” springs to mind LOLI've got The Firebird on my TBR stack but I really want to read The Winter Sea first. Have a great week and happy reading 🙂

The years seem to fly by when birthdays come and go. We seem to forget to embrace the present at times, don't we, because of all our stress! Happy Birthday to him.The cover of The Translator is freaky, I hope it's better on the inside =) Here's my memes post today!

LOL, I thought the name was quite fitting 😉 Under the Dome is giant. During the first half I tried to read a few other books at the same time. It didn't go very well. During the 2nd half I read it exclusively.
