I absolutely love this time of year: flowers start blooming, the temperature warms and our local farmer’s market opens again.
Speaking of flowers, yesterday I attended a lovely event at One More Page Books & More: Amy Brecount White, author of Forget Her Nots spoke about her book and the meaning of flowers. She taught the audience how to make a tussy-mussy (a small gathering of flowers) based on the purpose of the occasion.
It was a great event my youngest son & I really enjoyed.
My husband & oldest son spent the weekend at a boy scout camp, so my youngest and I enjoyed a nice quiet weekend to ourselves. We shopped, read, relaxed. A good experience for both of us!
I have quite the busy, but wonderful, bookish week ahead. On Tuesday night I’ll be leading a discussion of Caroline Leavitt’s Pictures of You at One More Page Books. On Thursday, Helen Simonson discusses and signs her bestselling debut novel Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand (my review is here). Sounds fantastic, right?
In case you missed it, here’s what has happened this past week on my blog:
- Literary Road Trip: April Link Round Up!
- Frightful Friday: Precious Blood by Jonathan Hayes
- Review: Storm Front by Jim Butcher (Audiobook)
- Giveaway: They’re Watching by Gregg Hurwitz
- Review: The Bird Sisters by Rebecca Rasmussen
Here’s to another wonderful week!

I loved Pettigrew. That sounds like an event to look forward to!
Here’s my post: Sunday Salon: Is My Kid Stupid? I hope you will stop by.
So nice sometimes to have a weekend alone with a child. I miss my husband on the rare occasions when he’s go away, but it’s also nice to have a girl’s weekend with my stepdaugther.
