9:01AM Well good news from my son, he has decided to come home and not stay there with his Dad. At first he said he was going to stay and I was heartbroken, but I told him I was proud of him for making the decision on his own. So as we texted about the things he needs to get done for him staying we end on the note of I love yous, then he sends me a message saying he just cant do it and he is coming home. How awesome! So on that note my morning has been good. No plans to go anywhere today, just reading and maybe a dip in the pool. I have some vlogs to finish up and post. And I am trying to reach 30 followers on my blog. I am getting there. I am now at 24, so that is a big deal I got 8 followers since yesterday.

LOL Andrew I used to read 3-4 books at one time, but I stopped doing that and I read 1 at a time now and I actually get more read and I comprehend more.

Just going to read and do laundry. All the kids will be here for dinner tonight so I am making ribs, sweet corn on the cob, BBQ''d asparagus and fresh rolls for dinner. Yumm. Think I will make a chocolate cake for desert. Should be a fun night. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments It would have been great to have you! It was fun, kinda weird, I didn't even get the food to the table, everyone attacked the ribs, corn and asparagus. We all stood around the kitchen chowing down with our hands. Hehe

Hope your kiddos had a good time here in my hometown. We have a ton of great stuff to do and see here so I hope they enjoyed it. I'm sure it will be nice to have them home though.

9:56PM I had a busy week. The new job can be stressful but I love it and things are going really well for me. They are already talking about training me in another area. Had a wonderful weekend with the family and now I am trying to write a few reviews for my blog. Have a great week everyone.

I just watched your book haul vlog. 9th girl was good and when you are going to read Blue Heaven Blue Heaven if you want a buddy I will read that one. I'm in a C. J. Box phase. Lots of good ones!

9:47AM Aeverie stayed with me last night. Amy was late at work and exhausted and just wanted to go fall into bed. So he is watching a movie this AM and eating cereal. I am gonna try and read more Onyx. It is a good series. I have them all on my kindle.

Susan Blue Heaven sounds so good. I can maybe read it come August. I have 2 review books to read first, and a buddy read on The Iron King, but some time after those would be fine.

9:41AM Just had some cereal and now doing internet stuff. Plan to get Onyx finished today, so good, and that will finish off my July. I had a good month even when I thought I would not since I had family came for a week and a half. It helps to have good books to read though.

Susan lets plan on that read about August 20th maybe? Does that work for you?

Victor 11:46 AM I have such a busy weekend coming up. Much graduation party is on Sunday so we are cleaning and getting ready for it. I got contacts and new glasses this week and just left the nail salon where I got my eyebrows waxed. I also got some new books!


message 11983: by Corey (new)

Corey | 1411 comments 5:33 AM Hey everyone, sorry I've been kinda quiet on Goodreads the past month, I've been so busy with my volunteer job down at Summer Camp, today was my last day, I had a great time, saw some old friends and met some new friends. As always it was hard to say goodbye, but that's common. I was kinda sad today was my last day but also relieved that I can have some down time. Anyway I've missed talking with you guys and talking about books. I've got a lot to catch up on, LOL!

9:50AM Plan on a day of reading today. Want to finish up this book. Hopefully it will get warm enough for a swim and the water is not too cold lol. My oldest daughter Amy got a new job. She is extremely happy about that and making $2 an hour more is not bad either. My son, now in Ohio also starts a job on Monday at a plant there. Aeverie may be going to preschool this year. Depends on if Amy makes too much money. So we will see. Geez how did he grow up so fast?

Victor sometimes it is nice to be busy. I like to have stuff to do. And are you saying your graduation party? I did not think you were that old?

Corey I am glad you had a nice time at your volunteer work. It is sad sometimes when it is time to say good bye!

Corey | 1411 comments 10:57AM Good morning Goodreads, it was so nice to sleep in this morning, I think I needed it. In a little while I'm gonna head to the gym and get a good workout in, other than that no big plans today, tonight I'm starting a new book which is pretty exciting!

Corey | 1411 comments Jen wrote: "Oh okay! I have never read anything by him. What do you suggest for a first timer?"

Well the book I would start out with would probably have to be Absolute Power, it was his very first book. By the way I see that you're reading Jurassic Park, I can't believe I've seen the movie like a million times and I've never read the book, I'll have to get on it because I do like books by Michael Crichton.

11:08PM Had a pretty good day today. Had a swim with my family and then we had leftovers for dinner, homemade Chicken Noodle soup. YUM I love homemade noodles! After that we took a walk around the mall, and then hit Brahms for some ice cream. Got home and finished up Poisoned Waters and now I will start a net Galley book called I hunt Killers. It sounds pretty interesting.
