- Review: Seven Days of Us
Reading plan for this week:
My husband and I drove my parents’ car to Arizona (from Wisconsin) and will spend some time with them before flying back to the cold weather.
Our first night in Arizona – what a welcome!

Thank you! Yes, a fun car trip – but quick. We covered a lot of ground in 2.5 days!

Arizona is gorgeous! I haven’t been in a while, but I have spent some vacations in Sedona…and also enjoyed driving through the desert. Gorgeous sunset.
The last time I went, it was a road trip (usually I fly). I went with my youngest son and his wife, and it was a lot of fun.
Enjoy your time there…and your reading. I like the look of A Season to Lie…and The Tuscan Child.

I read In Farleigh Field earlier this year and a few of the Her Royal Spyness series the past few years. Very different genres but all enjoyable.
