Hello reading friends and happy Monday! Today I am sharing a bit of my reading life with you. I am also participating in It's Monday What Are You Reading? #IMWAYR. Here are some of this past week's highlights.
Reading Life Highlights
This past weekend, I spent some time on Saturday afternoon driving around my town to visit 4 little free libraries. At each stop I donated 2 - 4 books. If you are interested in following my journey, click on my video below. The books that I donated were part of my personal collection. My books were all new or like new. I spent some time weeding and rereading the books that I decided to donate.

What have I been reading?
I spent the majority of my reading time this past week, reading this novel. I loved Bianca Marais latest book! Her storytelling is magical. It was a heartwarming tale of found family, with elements of magic. The group of women living at Moonshyne manner are all in their eighties and are struggling to pay their mortgage.After being gone for over thirty years, the witches believe that the return of their friend, Ruby will be the answer to their problems. But they soon discover that their problems have only multiplied. This was the perfect time of year for this read! I hope you'll pick up The Witches of Moonshyne Manor.

How nice to donate to all those libraries. Some kids will be happy about that! The witch book is a new title to me, sounds good! Thanks for the good wishes from you there at the end. Back at you!
The Witches of Moonshine Manor sounds great! Bianca Marais is the host of one of my favourite writing podcasts: The $%!t No One Tells You About Writing.
