I know I already posted about this, but I was looking around on bloglovin and saw that I had to post this link to claim my blog. Not sure if that’s necessary, but oh well. 🙂

Baby Boy Is Here!
My sweet baby boy was born June 4th weighing in at 8 lbs 5 oz. Good thing I was induced a week early or he would’ve been huge! He’s beautiful and perfect. We sure love him. His 3 big brothers love him to pieces and are already very protective and proud. We are all moved into our new house and love our new town! Things are starting to settle down, and I look forward to getting caught up on my book reviews.

Waiting On Wednesday: United We Spy by Ally Carter
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly post, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, where we spotlight a book we are anxiously waiting to be published.
United We Spy (Gallagher Girls #6)
By Ally Carter
Publisher: Disney Hyperion
Release Date: September 17, 2013
Cammie Morgan has lost her father and her memory, but in the heart-pounding conclusion to the best-selling Gallagher Girls series, she finds her greatest mission yet. Cammie and her friends finally know why the terrorist organization called the Circle of Cavan has been hunting her. Now the spy girls and Zach must track down the Circle’s elite members to stop them before they implement a master plan that will change Cammie—and her country—forever.
I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! It is definitely one of my all time favorites. I cannot wait to find out what happens with Cammie and all the spy girls and ZACH!! I can’t even explain how excited I am about this book coming out. It’s the final book of the series so that’s just ridiculously exciting. I’m definitely going to have to do a re-read of the entire series before September. Who will be joining me?
What books are you “Waiting On” today?

Growing a Baby! and lots of other reasons why I’ve been busy
Hi everyone!!! I have really missed blogging recently. At first I was too busy to think about it, but recently I just can’t stay away any longer even though things are still a little crazy. As you can see above I’ve been growing a baby which has taken a lot of energy. 😉 Plus my husband started a new job over an hour drive from where we live so we put our house up for sale, sold it in a day!!!, and are looking for a place to live. Decluttering a house takes a lot of work! We are so grateful it sold so quickly. Now in between packing boxes I’m waiting for baby boy #4 to come. I’m scheduled to be induced in a week and a half, but I’m hoping he’ll come sooner on his own. We’ll see!!!
I’ve missed all my wonderful book reading friends! I haven’t even been reading any blogs so expect comments on your blogs soon. I have been reading a lot of books so there will be reviews coming soon too. Unless baby comes today… you never know.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!

Marianne Daventry will do anything to escape the boredom of Bath and the amorous attentions of an unwanted suitor. So when an invitation arrives from her twin sister, Cecily, to join her at a sprawling country estate, she jumps at the chance. Thinking she’ll be able to relax and enjoy her beloved English countryside while her sister snags the handsome heir of Edenbrooke, Marianne finds that even the best laid plans can go awry.
From a terrifying run-in with a highwayman to a seemingly harmless flirtation, Marianne finds herself embroiled in an unexpected adventure filled with enough romance and intrigue to keep her mind racing. Will she be able to rein in her traitorous heart, or will a mysterious stranger sweep her off her feet? Fate had something other than a relaxing summer in mind when it sent Marianne to Edenbrooke.
My Thoughts:
Oh my this book was AMAZING!!! I loved it!! This is a book I would recommend to everyone who loves a good romance, a little excitement, mystery, and a lot of laughs.
From the beginning I was attached to Marianne. The poor girl had been shipped off to the city after the death of her mother. Her father had sent her to family in one place and sent her twin sister to another. Separated from her family and the beautiful countryside she felt lost. She left to meet up with her sister at Edenbrooke as soon as the invitation came.
The scenery was breathtaking and made me want to visit the English countryside. Sigh. Maybe one day. I loved the humor that came with some embarrassing moments for Marianne especially in front of handsome men. Just thinking about it makes me want to go re-read this book today.
I’d heard so many good things about Edenbrooke. I don’t know why it took me so long to finally read it! If you want a beautiful, relaxing, romantic read go get this book now! You’ll enjoy it.

No More Google Reader!
A note came up when I accessed my Google Reader the other day saying that you will no longer be able to follow blogs through google reader starting sometime in July. So I’ve been trying to decide how I will follow all my favorite blogs, and saw that my book blogging friend from Book Haven Extraordinaire had joined Bloglovin. So that’s where I’ll be following. I just wanted to let you know in case you were looking as well. It seems like a good way to follow. 🙂 Happy Friday!
