Each week bloggers participate to share any books received and news from their week. ~FOR REVIEW~ ~PURCHASED~ RECAP OF WEEK: No New Posts Just a short post to say "I'm still here". Part 2. I have seriously missed reading!!! I realize now the luxury I had available to me in the form of TIME . Time to do what I wanted, for the most part, during the day. Now that I'm working full time again outside the home (as an elementary school secretary) I have such limited time to do anything for myself. I'm not complaining. This opportunity has afforded our family many blessings that, in this season in our life, are necessary. But I do miss time to read. I miss getting lost in stories and characters and the many wonderful worlds created by amazing authors. I miss the escape from the stress of life. I miss jumping right into the latest books of my favorite authors (and I have...

Sunday Post is a weekly post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer . Each week bloggers participate to share any books received and news from their week. ~No New Books~ RECAP OF WEEK: No New Posts Just a short post to say "I'm still here". The last Sunday Post I shared was at the end of July and I said I was going back to work. Well, I started my new job as an elementary school secretary on August 10th and my reading, and therefore blogging, time has gone to nearly zero! I just haven't figured out how to fit in reading, and making any significant progress in books, all while working full time AND having evenings and weekends devoted to my teenagers and their extra curriculars or just family time, cleaning house time and lastly, down time. Sadly there aren't enough hours in the day most days. Sometimes I'll get a few pages read here and there but I'm still working on the same ARC that I was back when I last posted.  All of tha...
