It was a beautiful Mother's Day yesterday, with sun, blue skies, and perfect weather for sitting and walking outside. This guy thought so too, and appeared again this morning in the grass.
A few new books for review/feature:

Yesterday was nice in my area too. I'm looking forward to the new Wendy Wax book.
ReplyDeleteWeather was beautiful here too, and I keep seeing rabbits in my yard as well! Interesting reading list, especially the Nordic Way of Life book. I'll be watching for that one.
ReplyDeleteHere's my reading list for the week: http://justasecondblog.blogspot.com/2016/05/what-im-reading-may-9-2016.html
The Bones of Grace had a cover which immediately made me gasp ("How beautiful!") and then the description went on to entice me further. That sounds like a fantastic book, right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteThe Nordic Theory of Everything sounds like it would be a really interesting read.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!!

Wow, Sunshine Beach makes me want to be by the water! What a nice cover. And The Nordic Theory of Everything looks interesting, I've heard the Scandinavian countries do a lot of things well.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great spring picture.
ReplyDeleteThe Bones of Grace sounds very good. Cultural interactions can often make for great fiction.
We have rabbits everywhere. LOL I think they live under the neighbors deck behind their house. I love Wendy Wax's books. And the Nordic Life one intrigues me.
ReplyDeleteWe had beautiful weather too.
ReplyDeleteNice mailbox.
ENJOY!!
