It's Monday and I think I am coming out of a slump

Hi friends. How are things going?

I've been feeling so lethargic this week. I didn't really want to do anything. I got home from church today, put little girl down for her nap, and ended up taking one myself. I don't know why, but I woke up feeling so much better. I made a delicious dinner tonight, got the dishwasher running, did some reading, and now I'm watching tv while blogging. I finally feel motivated again and I'm hoping this feeling sticks around.

This week, I read Geraldine Brooks' newest novel, The Secret Chord. While this wasn't my favorite of her books, a new story by Brooks is always a reason to be happy. Today I'm finishing up The Gift of Failure and sneaking in St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves as one final Readers Imbibing Peril (RIP) read.

On the blog this week, I talked about Ann Patchett's Truth and Beauty and picked some companion books to read alongside it. I also played along with the newest edition of Top Ten Tuesday, where we discussed what wishes we would ask a book genie to grant.

Next up in my to-be-read pile are We Never Asked for Wings and Sweet Tooth.

What are you reading this week?
