This past weekend, we went to Camp Asbury for Family Canoe Camp. It was a great weekend. We went canoeing, fishing, hiking, swimming. We ate too much and met some nice people. I didn’t get much reading done, aside from listening to The Cruelest Month by Louise Penny while we were fishing, just too much to do and by the end of the evening I was exhausted.
And did I mention we got a new computer at home last weekend. I love it!
I did get a couple of new books over the past week. Mailbox Monday is taking a blog tour. This month’s host is Staci at Life in the Thumb.
- Always a Princess by Alice Gaines (from Carina Press via NetGalley)
- Black Butterfly by Mark Gatiss (from PaperbackSwap)
The Lucifer Box series (Black Butterfly is the last) is an off-beat one that I’ve enjoyed. Always a Princess just sounds like fun.
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. Here’s what I wrote about last week.
Reviews:
- Blood from a Stone by Donna Leon
- The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin

What are you reading?
Wow 4 books at once 🙂
I have not been fishing in ages, miss it (a bit)
Well, one’s an audio, one I’m reading with Amber, one’s on my phone and the last is on my Kindle.
What a great way to spend the weekend! I used to fish with my dad all the time. There’s some really good memories.
I wish I had pictures of the canoeing but I was afraid of getting the phone/camera wet.
Enjoy! your reads.
This is a new one Carol – listening to an audio book while fishing. You should have taken a picture! Hope the book was good!
