Happy Monday all!

I don’t know for you, but here we had a beautiful weekend! We ate delicious barbecue with the family on Saturday, and it was great to enjoy a night eating good food outside. Maybe we’ll have a summer after all!

Then Sunday we went and got flowers to install in planters on our balcony. It’s super pretty now, and I am looking forward to reading there with the flowery smell and the colorful flowers! Lots of pink, some yellow and purple too. I wish we had a full garden to fill! (one day, maybe, one day!)

Filling the Shelf – 145

Filling the Shelf simply is Mailbox Monday, but with a title that suits my blog! If you’re interested in joining the fun or seeing what other bloggers added to their shelves, click away! (but beware, visiting other mailboxes will probably add to your neverending wishlist!)

I haven’t done a lot of reading this week, but I did add some books to the shelves! Two paperback (Dangerous Girls and The Beginning of Everything) which I had been looking forward to reading for really long, and two audiobooks that were a bit more spontaneous. As I mentioned before, July will be my “Contemporary YA reading month”, so I am gearing up for the very occasion!

  5. Such beautiful flowers!! I’ll definitely be reading Dangerous Girls soon. Hope you enjoy it and all your new arrivals! They all look like perfect summer reads to me.

  6. I haven’t heard of any of these books but their covers are gorgeous! Enjoy!

  7. Oh what beautiful flowers! And the book covers are just as enticing. Hope you enjoy them!

  8. Dangerous Girls is FANTASTIC!!! I read one of that author’s books under her other name (Abby MacDonald) and I wasn’t wowed… but DG is so so so good. It’s definitely a great summer mystery/thriller book. I hope you love it!!

  9. GORGEOUS flowers. We are having great weather here too. A little warm, but no complaints since the past winter was awful.

    ENJOY your books…I don’t know any of the titles.

    Sorry for a late week reply. Hope you had good week.
