It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 5/15/17

This weekend was all about gardening and Mother’s Day! I took Friday off, which resulted in me gardening for most of the day – not just putting in new plants, but pulling out old plants, taking garden waste down to the park and then planting the new plants and re-doing the stone border around the flower beds. And the thing is – I haven’t even gotten most of my plants yet (which just means there is more gardening in my future). Granted, I’ve ignored my flower beds in front of the house for the past few years, so this project is long-overdue!

Saturday it rained all day, so I did some errands, cleaned the house and took a long nap, plus did a little reading. And Sunday was spent celebrating Mother’s Day with my boyfriend and his mom – it was a lovely day, but only a a little reading got done Sunday morning.

I finished up Here We Are: 44 Voices Write, Draw and Speak About Feminism for the Real World edited by Kelly Jensen. I found this to be extremely thought-provoking and education, but in a really approachable way – feminism can often have a incorrect connotation attached to it and this book really opens up a lot of points for discussion that I really enjoyed. I’ll post a full review later this week. I didn’t get to crack open Love, Ish by Karen Rivers, but I’ll be working through this book during the week.
