I’M ALIVE!!  Nope I haven’t melted yet.  We have had over 18 day of over 90 degree weather.  YIKES….us Minnesotans aren’t used to that.   And I am a pregnant Minnesotan….(and not a very pleasant one lately either).

So what does a pregnant, overheated, Minnesotan do to pass her time???   READ!!   I have actually read two books!!  WOW!!  

I belong to two online book discussion groups.  One called Bookmoms which is only for women with young children and is a closed group now, sorry.   The second one is called the “Bookies” this group is open to everyone and really has some fun members.  One member is even my mother 🙂   Even though I am not active on the bookies anymore, I love to see what they are reading and might join on a particular discussion if I had read the book. etc.
