Good morning!
The It’s Monday, What Are You Reading post is directly below this one.
*grabs coffee cup and slugs a big drink*
Coming in a little later than expected today. I had a really full and fun weekend, a 36 mile bike ride, Saturday evening with my aunt and uncle for dinner and then coffee at our house and then Sunday we were busy out to dinner and met with a group of friends and then home, and after watching Amazing Race…. I did not get the links prepped to this post as I had hoped to last night. 😯
AND – you are not going to want to miss out on these links…. this first one is the one that has your clue to the ongoing Banned Books week BIG giveaway:

Oh and if you are wondering, what is going on with Sheila and chatting up banned books and what is she talking about when she mentions a clue? Here is the info you need. 😀
When I see some of the books that are banned, I just shake my head. Then I have to check and see what the world they were banned for. Most times than not it’s for something ridiculous.
True Vicki – or something that may be one persons preference not to read – but certainly should not be taken away from all. Time and again I hear how one of these books has saved a life…
