Happy Monday!

Good morning everyone! The weekend seemed to fly by, didn’t it? I’m happy to report that after being sick for two weeks I am finally starting to feel better! As soon as I can take a big breath without coughing up a lung, I’m going to make it back to the gym…so excited!
This weekend the husband and I just laid low. We both worked a few hours on Saturday (yuck!) and then just did some work around the house. Nothing exciting.

Anyway, I want to thank all of you who left comments on the Book Fail post recommending books to me! I can’t wait to read everything you guys love! I think I need to join Goodreads…has anyone on here joined and loved it? I just finished reading The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf and it was really good. Heartbreaking and sad, but good.

Right now I’m about a third of the way through with The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I have been wanting to read it for months now and I finally got it from the library. So far it is really good, but also heartbreaking. Hmm….I think we need an uplifting book next, don’t you?

    LOVE the lovely bones. . . amazing! and if you need uplifting and a series, i highly suggest some romance novels–they're amazing and such good beach reads (even if you dont have a beach). . . im glad you're feeling better! missed you!
