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.
It's been a busy week and I'm back in Northern California, and posting a little late today. The weather has been gorgeous and warm. We went to the park on Saturday. Swings, slides, sand and fun! Also, very green (see below).
I have six days left until I run my half-marathon this coming Saturday! I nervous and excited at the same time.

Even though I liked The Kiss Quotient (5 star read) a little better The Bride Test was a delight! Shoot to Thrill was another great installment of The Monkeewrench series. Loving that series! Saving the Mail Order Bride was fast-paced and entertaining! There's a giveaway HERE if you're interested.

The latest Monkeewrench installment!
Watched:
Blake Lively is so pretty, and I love the setting and costume design of the film. The Age of Adaline was entertaining, but nothing that knocked my socks off.
Still binge watching episodes of The Big Bang Theory. So hilarious!
How was your week?
That picture looks great and yay for good weather. Good luck with your half marathon. I can't wait to get my copy of the Bride Test! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Grace! Hope you enjoy The Bride Test too! :)
DeleteI loved the Kiss Quotient, so I can't wait to read The Bride Test
ReplyDeleteThe weather looks lovely! Look at all the green and scenery so pretty
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely week (: The Bride Test looks really good
Such lovely lawns! I like Age of Adeline as well, and I’m sad Big Bang Theory is ending.
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week
Springtime green! I love seeing it, too. Looks like you had a great reading week. Cheering you on through the last days of prep for your half-marathon.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Rachel!
Thank you, Sophia Rose! Glad to hear you're enjoying springtime green, too. :)
DeleteI like Michiel Huisman in the Age of Adaline, he's my favorite Dutch actor :)
ReplyDeleteI think I finished Adaline...or not =_0
ReplyDeleteYay nice weather
Good luck with your half marathon on Saturday! My daughter has run two of them but I couldn't imagine trying to run that far. I have The Bride Test to get to and I have enjoyed Linda Broday in the past so I will have to check out her new book. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carole! We'll see if I ever do another. :)
DeleteI want to read both The Kiss Quotient, and The Bride Test. 📚
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your half marathon and enjoy the weather. 🌞
What a beautiful view and picture Rachel! How exciting that you have your marathon coming up on Saturday! I'm cheering you on (virtually)! I loved, The Bride Test! I'm so excited Quan's story is next and wish we didn't have a long wait for it! Happy Reading!

Looks like a beautiful park (and gorgeous weather too)!
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing week :)
Pretty pics and good luck with your marathon! I always admire those that run, I can't, like at all LOL! My lungs just don't want to do it regardless of how much I work out to make them stronger. Oh well. ;)
ReplyDeleteTBT and TKQ were very different reading experiences for me, but I loved them both. Looks beautiful by you. Great training weather! Speaking thereof, good luck with the last push. I hope you crush your half marathon.
ReplyDeleteI remember liking The Age of Adaline alright - it's been awhile though; I think I saw it in theaters. Good luck with your marathomn coming up.

I was one of the few who didn't love The Kiss Quotient, but I started the audio of The Bride Test today. So far, so good. Maybe the audio will be better for me. I love The Big Bang Theory. Going to be sad when it ends!! GOOD LUCK this weekend!!! You'll do great, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous little gazebo area. So pretty. I agree about The Bride Test being *not quite* as perfect at TKQ, but it sure was close and I loved it. Now I'm crossing my fingers than Quan gets a book! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back to the beautiful weather! I'm jealous! :-)

I'm enjoying the weather now but the sun makes it hot inside the car. I loved the Bride Test. Good luck on your marathon!
