It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.       

Welcome to the first Monday in August. Officially, it is still summer. But with getting the Lil' Princess ready to head back to college in the middle of the month, I am ready to decorate for fall and look forward to things like hayrides, homemade applesauce, and buying pumpkins and mums. 

Before I get too deep into my lack of reading, would you all do me a favor? I am looking for reader input for those who follow, subscribe, or check in a few times a week. Can you please leave your comments here? I greatly appreciate it. Also, I updated my blog link list, so feel free to check it out and visit some other blogging friends. 

The last week was a mixture of fun and challenges. Tons of meetings and preparing a new listing captured some of my attention. I also met with a real estate friend for lunch on Thursday. So that was all fun. As for challenges, I finally took my father-in-law's clothes out of storage and began the slow process of taking apart my mother-in-law's bedroom that we created for her when she moved in this April. I packed her clothes, along with my father-in-law's, and donated them Thursday morning. None of us has really gone in that room much since she passed unexpectedly the day after she arrived. Reining in the emotions is tough, but I figure once the Lil' Princess is settled back in school, I will make a better effort so that when she comes home for Thanksgiving, the room will be back almost to what it was before. 

In my reading world, I am almost done with this one. My review is due August 21st.
