Happy Monday… afternoon, whoops. Another late post, sorry guys – it’s just one of those seasons of life. Last week was as busy as they always are, between the camp schedules and work and unpacking and house projects, just, yikes. (I feel like I write the same thing every Monday. Last week was crazy! But I still found time to read for my sanity, so yay!)

Anyway – I did find time to read, and quite ample time, although three books doesn’t look like it. Over the majority of the week, I worked my way methodically through The Last Chronicle of Barset. I think I mentioned last week that I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy it as much as I have some others, but I ended up really loving it. Full review to come for the Classics Club, but the tl;dr is that it was a fitting conclusion to the series, with lots of much-loved characters from earlier books making appearances, and with a satisfying ending. After wrapping up Barset, I went back to my kindle to finish up In this House of Brede, which I’d had lingering on my currently-reading shelf since my business trip in June. It was wonderful, heart-wrenching, tragic, uplifting – just a total reading experience. Lots more to say about that. And finally, on audiobook, I wrapped up the last four hours of One Summer: America 1927, which I’ve been recommending to everyone. Again, lots more to say about that – but it’s fun, fascinating, and very engaging on audio.

This week: back to regularly scheduled summer reading. I’m finally getting to Swallows and Amazons! More soon.

Nugget and I went for a neighborhood stroll (he enjoys commenting about our neighbors’ decks because he’s eight going on forty) and we found BLACKBERRIES! This news was less exciting to the other members of our family.

What are you reading this week?
