#48 Last Week. Books! Books! Books! This week...nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
Much to mine amazement and part disappointment (I am still awaiting Daniel Abrahams' BLADE OF DREAM...) I got about six or so books last week. This week, well it feel as if the number will be at zero so to speak. The week was kind of good; I had a good date (I hope he did too!) with a guy eleven years my junior (eerily we are very similar) and I also met up with another guy and watched an old Bollywood movie titled Sholay. (Well half of it honestly) I have also been trying to find a childhood movie I watched at about seven or eight years of age, but I am beginning to think that I won't find it. I also have reviewed some books that have been awaiting me for forever, and now I'm down to three books instead of five or ten. Here's hoping I will be able to get BLADE OF DREAM soon as well as few more treasures in the future.
My son has been doing all right in second grade (did I seriously type the second grade part in?) He sort of continues to be friends with a girl he has been friends with since he was in kindergarten (she is in third grade), and another girl doesn't bother him as much as I feared. He is also playing with a boy with whom he has an interesting history of friendship and has also met a few new friends and has a few old ones too from previous years.

New Arrivals At Svetlana's Reads And Views:
It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
(From The Book Date)
Top Ten Tuesday
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
How it works:
I assign each Tuesday a topic and then post my top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join me and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
You’ll find the schedule of upcoming TTT topics below so you can plan ahead. I’ll post a Linky here on the blog each week so you can link up your post (if you want). If you don’t have a blog, post your picks in the comment section below! Have tons of fun talking books and getting to know your fellow bloggers!
NOTE: If a weekly topic is listed as a “freebie”, you are invited to come up with your own topic. Sometimes I will give your topic a theme, such as “love”, a season, or an upcoming holiday. That just means that you can come up with any topic you want that fits under that umbrella.
You’re more than welcome to use the Top Ten Tuesday image I designed above (or any of my older/seasonal ones), or make your own that fits your site’s theme.
August 29: Water (This can be covers with water on them, books with bodies of water in them, titles with bodies of water in them, etc.)
