What Are You Reading? at BookDate; Sunday Post @ Caffeinated Reviewer; and the Sunday Salon @ ReaderBuzz ==================== * Life… * I hope you have enjoyed your weekend. We are not a religious family so Easter is simply a welcome four day weekend and an excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast. I made chocolate and white chocolate fudge this year in lieu of gifting Easter eggs as the cost has become ludicrous. I’d show you but what wasn’t given away is all gone. I think I got one piece, though to be fair I rarely eat chocolate so I don’t mind. I much prefer Ho ..read more
