Stacking the Shelves #119, Sunday Post #116, Sunday Salon #110-The One Where She Graduates

Hey bookish friends! How are you doing? IT IS GRADUATION WEEKEND! Yesterday we went to Mount Vernon and threw our daughter a small graduation party with her friends. This morning we are there for her graduation, will have lunch with her, and get home late in the afternoon. It's been an exhausting week/month, with lots of extras, but so thrilled to be at the finish line with my daughter's extra school stuff.  Tomorrow will probably be church online and then relaxing!

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual.This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! And audiobooks. The Stacking the Shelves meme is hosted at Reading Reality.

Other updates:

This week was another busy week. I spent a lot of time on our sewing business playing catch up. Plus, I spent most of the day Thursday making cupcakes for my daughter's graduation party (pics below). I finished 5 books this week (2 were audiobooks). This past Wednesday was my 3-year anniversary for this blog, and while I meant to celebrate (ie-buy a book), I was too busy and it did not happen 😂 Maybe next year I will celebrate with a book on my 4th blogiversary!

      Thanks Erin. Yes, we definitely needed it today, we are SO wiped out. I had a nap too, and don't feel like I have rested at all, LOL!

    Congrats to the graduate, my son graduated last year so now we are on to the college adult era of parenting. He still living at home but attending classes at the local community college just down the road. It so hard to adjust to teen to adult but i think i am getting there. Those nails look wonderful. Have a great reading week

      Thanks Jan, yeah, the adjustments are hard! My son is 19, has been out of high school for 2 years, and works full time. He is thinking about going to college, but he really doesn't know what he wants to do. My daughter just finished, but doesn't have a lot of plans for the future yet either.

      Jinjer, LOL! I had no sweets either, until I whipped up another batch of gluten free cupcakes, LOL! I am going to serve them as strawberry shortcake after dinner. Although, I am tempted to skip dinner and go straight for dessert, LOL!

    Congratulation to your daughter on her graduation! Best wishes to her! And happy belated blogiversary. Your library books and review books all look good, Cindy. The Amanda Flower one caught my eye with that cover and Love in Tandem looks like fun! I hope you enjoy them all and enjoy the rest of your week!
