• I’M ALIVE!!  Nope I haven’t melted yet.  We have had over 18 day of over 90 degree weather.  YIKES….us Minnesotans aren’t used to that.   And I am a pregnant Minnesotan….(and not a very pleasant one lately either).

  
  

  So what does a pregnant, overheated, Minnesotan do to pass her time???   READ!!   I have actually read two books!!  WOW!!  

  
  

  I belong to two online book discussion groups.  One called Bookmoms which is only for women with young children and is a closed group now, sorry.   The second one is called the “Bookies” this group is open to everyone and really has some fun members.  One member is even my mother    Even though I am not active on the bookies anymore, I love to see what they are reading and might join on a particular discussion if I had read the book. etc.
