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 I took an unplanned blogging break, I haven't posted for two weeks! It's been so busy at work, I've been so tired that just getting in my runs for training has been tough.
I'm now out of town in Sonoma (Wine country) California now, getting some much needed time off and I'm able to get on the computer and write up a post! Yay!

Basically the only books I've been able to read are audio books because yeah, I've had no time. My commute and my running times have been the only time I've been able to read! So, Storm Front and The Consuming Fire were road trips with my husband and they were fabulous! The Consuming Fire was narrated by Wil Wheaton and he's such an excellent performer. I highly recommend reading The Interdependancy series by audio, but the story is amazing whether you decide to read or listen. Storm Front was narrated by James Marsters, aka Spike from Buffy. Really enjoyed it and already have the next one. Faking Forever was so good, my favorite of the series. I alternately listened and read. The narrator was lovely! Marine Force Recon was a total bust. One dimensional characters and an unbelievable plot made this one a no-go for me. Oh-my-goodness, I'm loving the Mercy Kilpatrick series by Kendra Elliot! I'm seriously addicted! If you're a fan of romantic suspense/mystery stories, this series is a win. Plus, it's Kindle Unlimited so you can read and listen as part of your membership. I've already got the next book locked and loaded.

Love Claudia Connor's romances so I was thrilled to get her newest. Wolf Rain should hold me over until I get the next Guild Hunter book. Haven't read anything by Linda Broday, but Saving the Mail Order Bride sounded good. Got my library copy of Fool Moon, the second book in the Dresden Files series. Will be listening again.

Clueless always makes me laugh. A classic in my opinion.
How was your week?
Hi Rachel glad you are back ;-) And don't worry we all have work and know that real life can sometimes be hard!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sophie! :)
DeleteHope you're enjoying Sonoma! It's always nice to get away for awhile. I'm in the middle of the Mercy Kilpatrick series and am loving these books! So glad you recommended them. :D
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad to hear you're loving them too! :)
DeleteI am so glad to hear that The Consuming Fire was good! I loved the first one, and I've been putting off the second, for some reason (too many books), so now I need to move that one up. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it, Greg! I'm looking forward to the next one.
DeleteYES to Harry Dresden :) woot and I love the Mercy Kilpatrick series too, Enjoy your time away :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really good, right? I was surprised by how much I liked it. Thanks, Kimberly! :)
DeleteThere's nothing wrong with a break every now and then. I'm glad you were able to take the time away that you needed! Hurray for Clueless! I haven't seen that in years!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tracy. Clueless is a lot of fun. :)
DeleteA break is always good!
ReplyDeleteOMG I have not watched CLueless in aaaages, love that movie
I laugh and smile every time I watch it. :)
DeleteClueless is a classic. I love that movie! I coveted Cher's wardrobe in my youth. Faking Forever was a really strong ending for the series, though I heard we are getting one more book (the Russian woman, Natasha?). I did complain to the publisher that 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover was NOT a Simon & Garfunkel song.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun, right? I loved her clothes too! Oh, I'm happy to hear that, although I'm not sure I like the narrator's Russian accent. We'll see. Lol, I didn't know that Sam, but I remember I didn't like the song. :)
DeleteSometimes you just hafta when it comes to the unplanned breaks.
ReplyDeleteYay for Mercy! I'm a fan, too. :)
Glad you got a nice trip.
Yep, it was a necessity. I'm hoping work slows down a bit, but it's not looking like it will anytime soon.
DeleteSeeing you enjoyed the series is one of the reasons I picked up Mercy, Sophia Rose! :)
Lots of tempting books. I'm curious about Faking Forever. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteLoved Faking Forever! :)
DeleteLife does get so busy at times. Good for you for taking some time off. I hope things do calm down for you soon but thank goodness for audiobooks when things are busy. I loved the Dresden Files and James Marsters does a wonderful job with the series. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI know, you're always so busy too, Carole. I wouldn't have read anything if it wasn't for audiobooks! Thanks! You too! :)
DeleteI loved Clueless! And sometimes those breaks leave you refreshed and relaxed. Have fun in Sonoma! And enjoy the wine:)

I just saw on the news it's the 25th anniversary since the movie came out! Thanks, Laura! :)
DeleteI'm glad you've found some great audio books lately. I wish my library had that series. Clueless is one of my all time favorites. Never gets old!! You've been killing it on the running and steps lately!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I wouldn't have got any books read otherwise. Clueless is a classic. Thanks! I didn't much running in over the weekend, kind of hard when we were all over the place, but I'm back at it today. :)
DeleteWelcome back, if you will! Sometimes it's a good idea to just take a break here and there, whether that's blogging or reading. Do something else for a bit!

Thanks, Lauren! :)
DeleteGlad you're back!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteI'm a huge fan of Harry Dresden on audio. I own them all including the short story anthologies LOVE them. I got them from the library and then bought them all. I also like Mercy Kilpatrick, so you are reading great books!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
Thanks, Anne! I've got the second book so I'm excited to start it. I also have the last book out of Mercy so my binge will be officially over. I'll have to wait until the next release.
DeleteI love Clueless!
ReplyDeleteSometimes a blogging break is just necessary. You only have so much time in a day and sometimes something has gotta give!
