Sunday Post #32


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.

I'm back up in Northern California and it's been a weekend full of fun kid activities. When went to the park and had fun on the swings and slides. My arms are killing me because I picked up and rode down the slides with my 14 month old granddaughter about a million times, lol.  Today we went to another park with a big petting zoo: cows, goats, chickens, and bunnies. Plus a few roosters cock-a-doodling away.  There was even a the merry-go-round. Lots of fun!

I enjoyed Darkness Returns, but would've liked it better had I read previous books in the series.  You'd Be Mine was a delight! Country Music tour with the headliners falling in love. I listened to the audio book and enjoyed the duel narrators.

Hope and Other Punchlines is a library audio book and I'm enjoying it a lot. After that brutal cliffhanger in Archangel's Prophecy I can't wait to dive into Archangel's War! Love Lorelei James romances and her Blacktop Cowboys series. How to Love a Duke in Ten Days was offered to me and I do love a good historical romance. 

Watched:


Loved Captain Marvel! Now I need to catch up with the other movies in the superhero realm.

How was your week?

  3. It’s precious getting to spend quality time with your granddaughter! My daughter loves the merry-go-round! I want to see Captain Marvel! Does Nalini Singh’s series have to be read in order or can they be read as a stand-alone? Happy Reading Rachel:)

  10. Haha, if only we had the energy and endurance of a toddler. :) Sounds like it was a fun time grand-pals.
    Looks like a good reading week. I picked up the Alexandra Ivy book before that one. Hope I like it. I got the Kerrigan Bryne, too. I haven't tried her stuff. Hope we both like it. :)

    Have a great week, Rachel!

  11. My kids love petting zoos! There's just something about being able to touch animals that makes them go crazy. I think it's because most of their books have animals? I really enjoyed You'd Be Mine! I hope you like Hope and Other Punch Lines. I thought it was an exceptional read.

  12. I haven't written a Sunday Post this week but thought I'd still visit some friendly bloggers ;-)

    Wow! You've had a very fun-filled week. I loved Captain Marvel too, in fact I've loved all of the films in the Marvel Universe and have watched them all. <3

    I hope you have a great week and enjoy your reads, Rachel.

  18. I'm looking forward to reading You'd Be Mine, I keep looking for it and I'll get my mitts on it eventually!

    Captain Marvel rocks. I'm looking forward to seeing it again on DVD. The soundtrack takes me back to good time, lol.
