Guest Post by Carolyn Holland
I’m hosting a guest post today about extreme weather, fact or fiction, by Carolyn Holland. Carolyn is the author of “Seeds of Transition, Book one: The Genesis Project”.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (44)
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila of Book Journey. It’s where book bloggers gather to talk about what books they read and reviewed last week, what books they’re currently reading and what books they’re planning to read. This is a great way for me to plan my reading week, and to take a sneak peek at what others are reading.
