The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer book blog, and is a post to recap my bookish and non-bookish things from the last week.
So it poured rain the entire week here making my commute even more fun than usual. Lol! At least I have audio books, right? My flight up to Northern California was delayed because of that as well, but I passed the time reading on my Kindle, so it was all good. Anyhow, it's cleared up, and it's a beautiful, mostly sunny day here. Below is the sunrise with some pretty fog/clouds blanketing the valley.

I read *listened* to The Mistake after loving The Deal. It was good, but I didn't like it as much as The Deal. I picked up an audio copy of The Liar's Girl at the library after reading Blodeuedd's @Book Girl of Mur-Y-Castell wonderful review. It was pretty addictive and the narrators were really good! Watcher in the Woods is book #4 in the Rockton series and it was amazing! I'll have my review up closer to the release date. How to Seduce a Bad Boy was a total flop. The whole thing felt very juvenile and it was an adult book. The author "liked" my one star review on Goodreads. That's kind of awkward, right?
Received/Purchased/Library Lend:
I was thrilled to get a copy of The Bride Test and will probably read it super early just because I'm so excited for Khai's story! I downloaded Now or Never after reading Carol's Random Life in Book's fab review. I just started it and I'm enjoying it so far. I got a copy of Distress Signals is Catherine Ryan Howard's debut and I wanted more of her reading The Liar's Girl. Plus, serial killer on a cruise ship sounds a little terrifying!
Watched:
Not very much, just two episodes of Modern Family which never fails to make me laugh!
So how was your week?
I love the rain! It feels weird to say this seeing as it's the UK but we haven't had enough rain lately. :( I miss crazy rainy days where I can snuggle up and not feel guilty about not going outside, lol.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week Rachel!
I love Northern California, but it is scary lately. But then again, so is Southern California...and maybe Central. But we don't have hurricanes.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week. We had rain in Central California this week, but yesterday was warm, like a spring day.
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
We had a little rain last night - the first we've seen in weeks. I just wish it hadn't waited until bedtime to start hammering on the motorhome roof!
ReplyDeleteI love your sunrise photo :-)
I love that fog picture!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pic! I can't WAIT to read Watcher in the Woods- I've been waiting for my next Rockton fix haha for a while now! Glad it's almost here. And I read Distress Signals- it was pretty good, hope you like it! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful picture! I also wasn't a huge fan of The Mistake. I loved The Deal and The Score the most out of the series.

I enjoy rainy days but not a lot of them in a row. Glad the sun finally came out for you!

My goodness that photo of the sunrise looks like something from a magazine. Just beautiful! I really want to continue that Elle Kennedy series. Too bad The Mistake didn't live up to The Deal for you. :( How exciting that you got an arc of The Bride Test! I am so looking forward to that one!
ReplyDeleteOoh beautiful photo! It rained most of yesterday and then turned to snow. It didn't snow quite as much as it did elsewhere though, so that's good!

That picture is really beautiful. Another lucky recipient of The Bride Test. I am itching to read it. Hope you love it. I am such a fan of that Denault's series. Now or Never was a great finale.
ReplyDeleteLovely pic, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteWay to get the most of those audios on your trips. I just read my first Rockton series book and yay, glad you thought Liar's Girl was good. Oops on that one-star like. I suppose it was a thank you for reviewing it at least. LOL
Have a good week, Rachel!
What a beautiful photo! Sorry about all the rain you had to deal with. I can't wait to read The Watcher in the Woods! I will be starting it soon myself. I hope you enjoy Now or Never as much as I did. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteDelays always suck less when you have books. That photo is so pretty! I wish I was there. We’re buried in snow. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
It snowed here, and I ended up in a line at the grocery store that snaked all the way back to the back of the store. I was quite thankful for my audiobook!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
You always have pretty pictures to share- they're awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe love Modern Family. Cracks me up. Such a pretty photo!! Have a great week, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteWait for the end is all I am saying! Just waaaaait for it. You will be on your edge and then, mind blown :D
ReplyDeleteOh and dang, pretty photo!
Beautiful pic. I see you read a nice collection of books. I want to read Watcher in the Woods.
ReplyDeleteOh Gorgeous photo. I am trying to wait for the audiobook of Watcher of the Woods. I love that series so much. I also got the Bride Test ARC. So many great things to read. Enjoy them! Anne - Books of My Heart
