Sandra at Diary of a SAHM shared her list a few days  ago and encouraged her readers to join in.  Here is my *very hopeful* reading list for this summer!  I will also pop a few quick summer reads in there as well.   Back in January, I signed up to do the Modern Mrs. Darcy reading challenge.  I am really lagging behind and plan to get a lot of reading done this summer! I'm really looking forward to reading "Threads of Suspicion" by Dee Henderson.  This is an ARC from Bethany Publishers.  I absolutely LOVED the first in this series and I am so happy to have received this book! Evie and her new partner, David Marshal, are assigned to a pair of unrelated cases in suburban Chicago, and while both involve persons now missing for several years, the cases couldn't be more different. While Evie opens old wounds in a close-knit neighborhood to find a missing college student, David searches for a private investigator working for a high-power...

Welcome to this week's Happy Homemaker Monday.  I am linking up with  Sandra at Diary of a SAHM.    The weather::: Plenty of rainy days with a pristine, sunshiney day here and there.  On my reading pile::: Still reading Gone with the Wind.  It will be a few more weeks since I only read a little bit every day.  Finished " Two Days Gone " by Randall Silvis.  I took a temporary diversion from "Firefly Lane" because I got caught up in this murder mystery.  It happens!  lol It's different from what I normally read, but it was fast-paced, exciting, and I didn't figure it out until close to the end. 4/5 I also received an ARC copy from Bethany Books of " The Chapel Car Bride " by Judith Miller, which I will be starting this week.   Movies or Shows I watched this weekend::: Started a new binge-watch, "Heartland". Watched the Casey Anthony Documentary.  Both sad and infuriating.  I remember my mom watching th...

Welcome to this week's Happy Homemaker Monday.  I am linking up with  Sandra at Diary of a SAHM.    The weather:::   This is my favorite time of the year.  Yes, we did get a LOT of rain least week; however, we also had our first sunny, 75-degree day yesterday, so it was all worth it.  On my reading pile::: Still plugging through "Gone with the Wind".  I only read a little each day (I should say, re-read).  It's a REAL book - and I do most of my reading at night, in the dark, in bed - so it will probably be another month or two before I am finished.  My favorite book in the world.  The writing is descriptive and strong, the characters colorful and endearing, the history jarring and poignant.  Everyone should read this book!   Also reading "Firefly Lane" by Kristen Hannah (author of The Nightingale).  The beginning of the book takes place in the mid-late 70s.  I LOVE all of the references to the clothin...

Welcome to this week's Happy Homemaker Monday.  I am linking up with  Sandra at Diary of a SAHM.    Happy April!  It's my favorite month of the year - it could be due to the fact it's my birthday month.  I did do HHM last week, but I forgot to link up!   The weather:::   We had a very pretty weekend, near 60 and sunny.  However, this week is going to be very typical for the Detroit area in the spring - rain, rain, rain!  On my reading pile:::   I just finished reading two cute, mail-order bride books. When I'm sort of reading slowly and need a diversion, I generally fall back on that type of book.  What's next?  I'm starting Pricilla Shirer's "Life Interrupted"  also going to try the Appomattox Saga  Movies or Shows I watched this weekend::: Still binge-watching Dance Moms.  I did catch up on Grey's Anatomy and Chicago Fire.  On my TV::: More Dance Moms (I need to finish!...
