So the packing and moving of stuff has officially begun. It’s now only 7 days until we’ll officially start our moving week. Crazy!! And although there are already some stuff packed I really need to start working on it this week. I’ve been trying to ignore packing up my last remaining bookcase. But today I really should start packing it all in. Blegh.. All my other books have been in storage for a year now, since our baby girl was coming and we didn’t have the free space. These are my favorite books, and books that I have to read.. Let’s hope that we will find a new home fast where I can unpack all of my books again. I know you, my bookish friends, understand how hard this is!
So, on the new house front we have been visiting possible homes but we haven’t found a good thing yet. Monday we’ll visit another house that looks very promising. Finger
s crossed!
On the reading front, I’ve read two amazing books this week. I just loved them so much I read till far after midnight. Not a good idea since baby girl has been a little restless this week, and has been waking up once or twice during the night. So that meant not a lot of sleep! Not my greatest idea.. but the books where just so good!
Today is Liberation Day here in The Netherlands. And although it’s not a ‘free’ day this year (it’s only one every five years) it’s still a day where a lot of the shops are closed and there are several festivities throughout the country. Since it’s also Sunday we’ll probably won’t notice a lot of difference than the other Sundays. But today is also my Aunt’s birthday so we’ll go and visit her to celebrate. Fun!
On the blogging front I’ve been thinking of something new. But is has been sitting on the edge of my mind, just out of reach and not completely clear yet and I just can’t seem to get it out. LOL!! And with all the moving and stuff I don’t know if I’ll be able to start something new now. But we’ll see!
I hope you guys are doing well! Happy Reading!!

I love when blogging inspiration hits! Good luck tomorrow and I hope you find that the house is your dream home. And yes, packing books away hurts! Can’t wait to hear what you think of The Seven Sisters, I just adore that whole series.
I can’t wait to start reading ‘The Seven Sisters’. It seems like everyone here is reading it. Even people who I’ve never seen reading. So it must be something special. 😀
Have a great week and happy reading!
Good luck with the packing and moving! That was last October’s pain for me so *hunger games salute*. I’m rooting for you!
Your little girl is lovely. Those bunches are just adorable! I can’t believe she has enough hair for bunches at 9 months! My little dude looked like Mr Potatohead with a single mid-head tuft until he was about 1, lol.
Blegh.. Moving is the worst!
Thanks Nicci. She is so precious! Always happy and smiling! Sigh.. 😀 And she definitely has a lot of hair! She is so much like me!
Have a great week and happy reading.
Good luck moving I know it is never fun and can be super stressful! I hope you love The Kiss Quotient because I loved it sooo much!! Have a great week!!

Good to hear about Liberation day. It’s Cinco de Mayo here in the states, a day to commemorate the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin.
I’ve seen some Cinco de Mayo celebrations on social media. Looks fun!
Happy reading! 😉
I hope you’ll find your dream house soon Maureen!!! And yes reading late and little kids don’t make for the best days LOL
Thanks Sophie. I really hope so too! It feels like so long ago we had just a ‘normal’ day without cleaning our home for potential buyers, packing and visiting other homes.
Have a great week and happy reading!
Good luck for tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed. 🙂 Your baby girl is so grow up. Time flies…. I hope you enjoy The Kiss Quotient. I’ve heard great things about it.

Good luck with house hunting! And with getting the books unpacked quick once you’re settled haha!
Thanks Greg. I really hope I’ll be able to get my books out of the boxes fast. I miss looking at them and being able to touch them. Sigh.. I’m so happy you fellow-book-lovers get me. My husband things I’m mad. LOL!

I really enjoyed The Kiss Quotient and am reviewing the Bride Test this week. Sometimes you just need time to yourself even if it means losing a little sleep.
Good luck with the packing and moving – I hope you find a great place. I am also packing but have until the end of July so I will be sorting and throwing first.
Here is my Sunday Post
So true Anne. If I never sacrifice my sleep, I’ll never be able to read as much! LOL!
