It’s Monday, what are you reading?

This meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

I skipped last week with this meme – and as much as I didn’t want to, I was doing something very, very worthwhile instead.  You see, my little sister Meggan got married!

 

Her story will be up on the photographer’s blog (TessaMarie.com) in the upcoming weeks – but she got married in our family’s backyard – which was my grandparents and great-grandparents backyard.  Hours of love went into every single detail and trust me – it’s worth the time to “Like” Tessa’s Facebook page and favorite her blog to see the gorgeous photos that will be going up.

That said – now I’ve been reading like a fiend, since I actually have time to do so!
