Okay....I am back again and hopefully I can get myself on track to regular posting and daily reading. It is so hard to enjoy reading when things are really busy but I am determined to one day master the ability to do this. I cannot believe that I still haven't read Catching Fire or Mockingjay!! I know I must be the only person on the planet who hasn't. Anyway I am reading Catching Fire now and enjoying getting into the lives of Katniss and Peeta and Gale and Cinna and Haymitch etc... I love getting caught up in settings and the lives of characters that are starkly different to the world we live in. Anyway, am keen to finish and move straight onto Mockingjay, even though the talk is that it doesn't quite live up to the first two books...oh well, thats the thing about a series, you have to finish it off whether or not it lives up to your expectations! :) I am also reading a great book by Bob Tarte called Kitty Cornered. Very funny, and a must for kitty lovers.

Be sure to visit Book Journey to link up  if want to join in! Eeeeeeek! I have been so slack with my posts - sorry about that! Work has been super busy and I have been exhausted. I am reading before bed each night, but am  am too tired to take it in and then have to re-read it the next night! lol :) Oh well....I am still enjoying All That I Am by Anna Funda and The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag By Alan Bradley. Flavia is such a great character - I love the Flavia de Luce mystery series so much! Anyway I had to go to the chemist which just happens to have a bookshop attached to it and ended up coming out with another book which I have started today - The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, By Brian Moore. I think I am really going to enjoy this book, plus it is a short one!!  Check out the book descrip...

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly  meme hosted by Sheila @  Book Journey  where you can share  what you are reading each week. Be sure to visit Book Journey to link up  if want to join in!  I am well and truly back into the swing of things at work, hence the lack of reading and posts! :( No worry though, this week I am aiming to make up for it.  I am going to put Cutting for Stone down and come back to it later - only because I find it hard to read two pretty heavily themed books at the one time as I am also still reading All That I Am by Anna Funder. Instead of Cutting For Stone, I'm going to read The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag because I have been hanging out to read some more Flavia!!! If you haven't read any of the Flavia de Luce series, then you should!! lol :)

Hosted by  Freda's Voice I have had a difficult week and find myself taking a step back from life to remember what is important to me and who I am. The universe has a way of helping you along when you are struggling and it took me to this beautiful quote by Audrey Hepburn. Hope you like it to. "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." ~Audrey Hepburn  1929 – 1993 ~ British Actress and Humanitarian

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by  MizB of Should Be Reading . Anyone can play along! Just do the following: * Grab your current read * Open to a random page * Share 2 “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page * BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) * Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers! This weeks Teaser Tuesday comes from All That I Am By Anna Funder. I love it when you come across observations in a book that really resonate with you. This weeks teaser was one of those moments for me... "Children are the only people who can see adults from inside their lives, permitted to observe every small thing, as if their forming minds are incapable of judging what they see, or as if it does not lodge there, somewhere, permanently." (p. 40)
