Phew, this weekend was busy busy! Maybe I am actually looking forward to go back to work to just sit at my cube? Ah, just kidding. Next weekend we have our engagement photos (so excited for those!) so this weekend we had to go shopping for coordinating (not matching!) outfits. That was mildly complicated. We also registered for some things while we were downtown to kill two birds with one stone. That was fun! We went out to dinner for a friends birthday, I went to a bridal fair on Sunday, and went to Mythbusters live!
Ok, now for the peace and quiet that books bring! Here's what came in my mailbox this week:
From BlueBridge:
1. Queen Elizabeth in the Garden by Trea Martyn
From LibraryThing EarlyReviewers:
2. No One is Here Except All of Us by Romona Ausubel
From PBS:
3. The Girl on the Cliff by Lucinda Riley
4. Ellis Island by Kate Kerrigan
5. How to be an American Housewife by Margaret Dilloway
What did you get?
Oh, sounds like you had a lot of fun during the holiday. I'm back to work for my first full week, and I know it will feel LONG!
ReplyDeleteHow to Be an American Housewife is on my wish list. Happy reading!

Oooh, How To Be An American Housewife was one of my absolute favorite reads in 2010 (I almost wrote "last year," but that's not last year anymore!). Hope you enjoy it -- I was utterly enchanted by the story and couldn't read fast enough.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun weekend and what an exciting time. I really want both Ellis Island and How to be an American Housewife. Can't wait for your reviews. (and maybe and engagement photo preview?)
ReplyDeleteWhoa, I really love the cover for No One is Here... Very striking and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMartha - well, fingers crossed that I like them, I will share some engagement photos here!
ReplyDeletei have ellis island and how to be an american housewife sitting on my bookshelf. i haven't gotten around to reading them yet though. hope you enjoy all the books you got this week though!
ReplyDeleteI got the Queen Elizabeth book unsolicited, but I wasn't interested in it and passed it on to my mom. She really enjoyed it. I hope you do too.

Those all look like good reads! I have Girl on a Cliff too but haven't had time to read it yet.
ReplyDeleteI read How To Be an American Housewife awhile back and enjoyed it. Ellis Island is one of those books I have waiting to be read. It sounds like you have been very busy. I hope we get to see a sneak peek of the photos. What an exciting time for you!
ReplyDeleteYou had a fun weekend! I hope you'll post an engagement pic when you get them :) Enjoy your new books. I think they look really good.
ReplyDeleteBrooke - I guess I'll have to read to find out!
ReplyDeleteSitting here in my house by the sea in Ireland loving that my book Ellis Island is on your wish list. Hope some/all of you enjoy reading it and - no pressure - but I'll be checking back to see what you think.
