Sunday Book Share #43

 

 

I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; and Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews. These  memes allow book bloggers the chance to share print and digital books they've received, and different posts and events at their blogs.

Last week was the last regular week of care at my school; we start our summer schedule on Monday. I said goodbye to one child who's taking the summer off and to two who are leaving the center. I always hate saying goodbye; I'll really miss the ones who left. Of course, I got sick halfway through the week; my usual sinus infection and asthma flare. Sigh. Well, at least it's been several months since I was sick so that's progress. Unfortunately, it's affecting my reading and I'm now behind on my reviews and my editing so you may not see me around much for a few days.
