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.
Well, the weather has been beautiful this weekend. We were up at our place in Central California again Thursday and Friday enjoying the mountains and our grandkids. We sat by the outdoor fire to extend our outdoor time, as it got chilly in the late afternoon and barbequed. Came back early yesterday and I spent most of the day reading. I'll probably read most of the day today while my husband watches The Superbowl. I've been told the teams playing, but now I can't remember, lol!

As I said, I spent most of the day reading yesterday. I had started The Night Swim last week, but then had to put it aside for other review books, but my husband and I started it on our little getaway and continued listening on the way home. I switched to my e-copy when we got home and read straight through. Wow! Soooo good! I hope we get more of Rachel Krall and her investigative podcast in the future!

I'm excited for all these. I guess I'm a mystery sort of mood!
Watched:
Not much other than old standbys like Forensic Files and Heartland.
How was your week?
Sounds like your getaway was wonderful! I laughed at the part about the super bowl. I don't care either. I have laundry and reading to do. I always see the cute covers for Sarah Morgan's books, but have yet to read one, though I think I might like her books. Hope all your new ones are hits!
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like Sarah Morgan! She's right up your alley. Me too! Thanks, Sam! :)
DeleteAwwww a nice barbecue, that does sound nice
ReplyDeleteYep, especially when the weather permits.
DeleteGlad to see survivors was a 4 start! I really want to read it!
ReplyDeleteIt was really good! I highly recommend the audio. :)
DeleteI have really wanted to read The Night Swim. I love outdoor fires and family time, so wonderful you had great weather and time to read.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
I totally recommend The Night Swim! Thanks Anne! It was a nice weekend.
DeleteI read The Night Swim, it was intense! Also really looking forward to Local Woman Missing. I love Mary Kubica. Enjoy your upcoming week. Sounds like you're one of the only folks with nice weather!
ReplyDeleteIt was intense! I don't think I've ever read Mary Kubrica, but Local Woman Missing sounded really good. I caught a bit of the news today and just realize that a lot of the country has some pretty cold weather. We are lucky with our winters. Not so much with our summers. Thank you! You too!
DeleteOh that sounds so nice! We got dumped on with snow here so your weekend sounds better weather wise! :)
ReplyDeleteLocal Woman and Night Swim both look really good.
Yeah, I've heard a lot of the country got some pretty intense winter storms and cold.
DeleteI hope they're both hits! I think you'd love The Night Swim, Greg.
Yay for nice weather. I'm ready for it to get warmer out. I loved The Night Swim - I'd like more of Rachel and her podcast too.

It was really good, right?! I tried to see if there was any news about future Rachel Krall books but didn't see anything. Fingers crossed!
DeleteI've heard a lot about Mary Kubica and have previously loved novels by Laura Griffin, enjoy ! We had a mild weather here last week (cut the heating off during the day !) and now, we had snow yesterday and it looks like we'll be freezing the next weeks. Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteWe're pretty fortunate with our winters in California. Summers are another story. You, too! :)
DeleteYour getaway sounds wonderful. And much needed, I'm sure. I did watch the Super Bowl but honestly it was rather boring. I enjoyed our Super Bowl snacks more than the game. LOL
ReplyDeleteI came down and watched half-time, but that was my extent of Super Bowl watching, lol.
DeleteLovely getaway and fun stack of mysteries you've got. I sat and read through the Superbowl while my husband watched. I didn't have a horse in the race so wasn't that interested.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Rachel!
Yeah, I popped in and out and watched half-time. Love The Weekend! Thanks! You too, Sophia! :)
DeleteHave a good time with the grandkids. I don't watch football or any sports.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! Yeah, I don't either. Not my thing.
DeleteI'm so glad to hear you loved The Night Swim! It was one of my favorites last year. A getaway sounds perfect. We just got a new puppy last weekend, so it will be a while before we're able to get away again.
ReplyDeleteIt was a powerful read! Oh yes, puppies are a lot of work at first, but happy work! I hope you share a photo.
