Sunday Post #113

 


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. I worked as usual, then went up to Central California Thursday after work.  It was rainy, cold, tiring and I'm happy to be home with my kitties. It was beautiful, though. Green hills with flowers beginning to bloom. We came back today (Saturday) and I spent the rest of the day reading a real tear jerker (my eyes are still red and swollen)! I didn't list it below, but I'll have a review up this week.

All audios except for Tell No Lies, which was a multi-layered mystery that kept me reading well into the night to finish! Was not happy when the alarm woke me up to go to work the next morning!

  1. Although it has been a hectic week for you, I am pleased to hear your home with your kitties now and enjoying some great books, even if tissues were needed for one of them! 😊 My week was pretty regular at work, but I did also get my first dose of the vaccine; enjoy some fun for Red Nose Day; and started reading the turn-of-the-century classic A Room With a View by E.M. Forster. Take care and happing reading in the coming week, Rachel. 🙂

  7. I love all the books you read. Well I am doing audio for Tell No Lies and I'm sure I will enjoy it. Hopefully the spring rain will be tapering off with some sun for the planting and growing season.

      I'm happy to have more rain. We always need it in California. It's nice and sunny today. A little cold, though.

  10. There is nothing better than coming home from a trip to a gloomy place and home to a warmer, sunny one. Looking forward to reading your review on that tear jerker of a book!

    Have a great week ahead, Rachel!

  11. It was kind of pretty, the gray, gloomy clouds, but we couldn't do anything outside and had to come in early from our outdoor fire. You, too, Joy! :)
