It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn here at The Book Date.
Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them.
Read last week :
A heart-warming story about family secrets and one woman’s escape to dreamy Sandy Cove on the stunning west coast of Ireland.
The picturesque beach of Wild Rose Bay is the last place Lydia Butler thought she’d be. But having just lost everything, the run-down cottage she inherited from her Great Aunt Nellie is the only place she can take her daughter, Sunny. Hidden away in a tiny Irish village, she can protect Sunny from the gossip in Dublin, and the real reason they have nowhere else to live…
The cottage is part of the old coastguard station and other eccentric residents are quick to introduce themselves when Lydia arrives. Lydia instantly feels less alone, fascinated by the stories they have about Nellie, and she’s charmed by American artist, Jason O’Callaghan, the mysterious man who lives next door.
But the longer Lydia relaxes under the moonlit sky, the more the secret she’s keeping from Sunny threatens to come out. And as she finds herself running into Jason’s arms, she knows she must be honest and face up to the past she has tried to forget. Has she finally found people who will truly accept her, or will the truth force her to leave the cottage for good?
Will transport you to Ireland to relax on the shore and stare at the perfect emerald waters. The Lost Girls of Ireland is perfect for readers of Debbie Macomber, Sheila O’Flanagan and Mary Alice Monroe.
This novel can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Each of us O’Sheas had a position in our family.
I was the second son, and protecting my older brother was my job.
While violence wasn’t natural to me, it was our life.
I’d had to learn to handle it.
Then circumstances changed, and I had to step up as leader of our crew.
That position came with a lot of responsibility, and the last thing on my mind was a relationship, even as I watched my brothers fall one by one.
I knew that any woman I ended up with would have to be special if she was going to be my Queen.
I doubted that such a woman existed; until she did.
SERA
My life as I knew it imploded, and not in a good way.
The one person I should be able to trust had stabbed me in the back and swiped my company out from under me.
I should have known. Blood did not make family.
On a whim I decided to visit friends; it turned out to be the best decision I’d ever made.
He was big and broody with the heart and soul of a poet but with the body of a scarred warrior, and he was mine to love and protect when he forgot to put himself first.
He called me his Queen, but to me, he was my King.
