February 2011.........and the last week has been one that will forever be etched into the hearts and minds of New Zealanders. My thoughts and prayers are constantly with all those who have lost or have missing loved ones, whose homes and livelihoods have been destroyed and now face the mammoth task of rebuilding their lives.
To see our beautiful 'garden city', that I know and love so well , devastated by an earthquake still seems like some surreal dream. It's very distressing and I've found it impossible to focus on anything for any length of time .......not even reading.
So this is not my usual monthly review but just the list of books read for my records.
Total Books Read = 19

This has been a tough time for New Zealand, I've seen the pictures and they are very very sad indeed.
