Happy Mother’s Day to all! This is my first year to be recognized on Mother’s Day. My own mom actually sent me a Mother’s Day present (do you think maybe she’s excited about this baby?), although I opened that a couple of weeks ago, because time was running out if I needed to return any of it. As I write this I’m sitting next to two wrapped presents frmo my husband as well. I inadvertantly found out what one of the gifts was because I was in Bed, Bath, and Beyond with him for a few minutes last night while he was looking for a gift for his mom, saw a nifty-looking book light, pointed it out, and got a disappointed look “that was one of the things on my list for you!” However, it is an exciting looking book light.
Edit: The other gift was a shiatsu massage pillow. Fan. Tas. Tic.
This has been a very good week for reading. If I could keep this up until the baby’s born I would be in good shape with reviews and for my goal for the year. Here’s what I finished between Sunday and Saturday:
And what I’ve reviewed since last Sunday (pictures link to reviews):
Hopefully I can keep reading 1+ book/day because in addition to all the review books I need to finish, I have a huge number of books out from the library, as evidenced by this week’s Library Loot post.
For Mother’s Day, after our brunch, I need to do some cleaning, but I also plan to do a good deal of reading. What are your Mother’s Day plans?
You’re definitely reading a ton! I’m impressed. I’m looking forward to your review of Every Last Cuckoo, I just got a copy in the mail this week.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day! I can’t believe how much reading you get done-way to go. Looks like you read some really good choices this past week. Have a great day!

I finished Every Last Cuckoo sometime last week. What did you think? I liked the characters and the pace of the book, even though the first half was a little bit choppy.

I really liked it. It definitely wasn’t perfect, but it just seemed really comfortable, like a warm old sweater.
I’m looking forward to hearing what you thought of Cutting for Stone. I just started it last night.

Happy Mother’s Day! Glad you are reading a lot now, but be prepared for a few thin years coming up.
And I’d love to see a picture of the “exciting looking book light.”

Happy first Mother’s Day! I’ll probably be spending some of mine cleaning too, but I’ll be enjoying the gift of quiet time while my husband takes the kids to the movies

Happy Mother’s Day to you! Carl will be cooking dinner, but other than that, it will just be a normal day here.
Your first Mother’s Day is always going to be very special in your mind. I remember the first time I got to stand up in church when they clapped for the moms, I just wanted to burst with pride! I cannot believe you read one book a day. I don’t think I could do that, even if I blew off everything else! Wow. You have read some great books…keep it up!

Happy Mother’s Day, Jen! I hope you have a wonderful day and get lots of down time. My husband is making lunch for our family and my parents – steak, baked potatoes, salad – and my dad is bringing one of his world-famous scrumptious chocolate desserts. After that, my husband is taking all the kids swimming so I can have a quiet house for a couple hours – during which I’ll get some reading done. It’s a good Mother’s Day!

Good luck on your reading. I can’t wait to see your review of Wicked Lovely. I’m also interested in your thoughts on Every Last Cuckoo, because that’s our book club selection for July.
