# 64 Things are going well

Well good news is that things kind of straightened out and I'm not kicked out from certain company! Last week my son attended a friend's birthday party where I'm pretty sure he had a lot of fun. Quite recently he even started to talk to his friends over my cell phone (am not kidding by the way) We even got newest Cat Kid Comic Club which we read together and I even put on hold the Dog Man which will come out on March. I have bene a bit sick this week unfortunately. The mysterious package that I should have gotten back in November from UPS has disappeared. 

Last Week On The Blog

This Week On The Blog

New Arrivals At Svetlana's Reads And Views

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 

(From The Book Date)

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn here at The Book Date.

Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them.

Paragraph: So I've finished reading MY MEN by Victoria Kielland translated by Damion Searls and its quite a lot like Danya Kukafka book I read a few years back, NOTES ON EXECUTION. I've also began to read THE UNBROKEN by C.L Clark and I have to say that I'm really enjoying the novel so far. Almost done with SHIELD MAIDEN by Sharon Emmerichs which is also a compelling novel.

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.

December 22: What Counts as YA?

Prompts: Young adult fiction (YA) is aimed at 12 to 18 year old readers, but what actually makes a book YA? Is it just the characters’ ages, or more about the content and themes? Are there any books that have been marketed as YA that you feel are really adult?
