My goodness! It’s been far too long since I did a post for FMF! But today’s prompt seems pretty appropriate for jumping back on the wagon! My 14th wedding anniversary is coming up in just a few days.

Wow, I can hardly believe it has been over a year since I started “The Reading Report” as a regular installment each month.

My summer reading time has been pretty high due to long drives to family and my new habit of walking in…
