It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
Hosted by Kathryn of Book Date.

Hello from Reno. My husband and I are celebrating our 24th anniversary today. I'm posting later than usual from inside the poolside cabana. So far this week we've watched fireworks in Auburn and visited historic Sutter's Mill. Fireworks

Here is the replica of the mill where gold was discovered.

Mostly I was in the pool or I was working on my fireworks photos. I got carried away with them.

Happy anniversary! Enjoy your time together. The fireworks are unique.

I decided to pass on The Bride Test. I hope you will let me know what you think of it. I may reconsider.

Have a great week.

Fireworks are such an interesting challenge to photograph. But I got carried away and took about 430 shots during a half hour show.

I am on page 100 of The Bride Test and I am enjoying it.

That cabana looks like a wonderful place to be. I hope you enjoy The Bride Test, I didn’t find it quite as enjoyable as The Kiss Quotient but it’s not bad.

Have a great reading week, 🥂Happy Anniversary
