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.
This last week at work was a nightmare. The Omicron surge has officially hit Southern California and we are swamped at the hospital. I was overtime everyday except Thursday. I was so happy to have Friday off! I'm only working three days this coming week and traveling up to my daughter's house on Wednesday. I'm glad to get away.
I haven't left my house excerpt for a Physical Therapy appointment yesterday (Saturday) which is (courtesy of work, too) and a two mile walk on Friday. I feel like the appointments are helping my shoulder, which is good news. I hope to get out for another walk today and finish my book.
I was super excited to see the Camellia planted a year ago is thriving and is full of blooms. I'll be snipping them for the house frequently!

I had a good reading week and enjoyed all three of these books. Mercy wrapped up the mystery of Atlee Pine's twin sister and I was happy about how it all turned out. I'm not sure if we'll get more Atlee Pine mysteries in the future. I hope so! A Flicker in the Dark was an excellent audio book, and The Siren of Sussex was a such a lovely historical romance!

I had decided to skip Lightning in a Mirror but a forgot I ordered a physical copy! The No-Show has an interesting premise. I wonder if I'll like Joseph or want to strangle him?

Love this cover!
How was your week?
I am normally impressed with PT. I am so glad to hear you are getting some time off with all the crazy going on out there. My camellia had a bud but it is still a baby, only a year old.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
I've never done PT before. I'm pleasantly surprised with the results so far. My camellia is young, too. Just a little over a year but I bought a big plant.
DeleteGlad to hear the PT is helping, and I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing time with your daughter this week. The No Show sounds fun. I hope to read that one at some point.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Not sure it'll be relaxing with a 3 and 6 year old, but it'll be fun and nice to be away from the hospital!
DeleteI hope to read Beth O'Leary this year. I have heard great things about her but not read her yet. Have a great day! https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2022/01/stacking-shelves-6sunday-post-3.html
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed The Road Trip this last year, so I'm looking forward to her newest. Hope you get to her!
DeleteI'm glad you have some time off and can relax a little bit.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thanks, Mary.
DeleteGlad PT is working for you. Sorry to hear things are hectic at the hospital. Hopefully things will calm down soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam. I hope it's not so busy this coming week.
DeleteYeah, sounds like you needed that day off and trip to family. Your camelia is gorgeous in full bloom and glad your reading this week was great. LOL, I've accidentally forgotten about snagging physical review copies, too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Rachel!
Yep, I'm looking forward to it! It's not surprising seeing as my brain has been in a scramble the last month or two, lol!
DeleteYour Camellia is beautiful! And it totally sucks that you're so swamped at work. Hope this week is better.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lark! I hope so too!
DeleteI'm glad you're getting a break. A Flicker in the Dark looks good.
ReplyDeleteBe safe this week :)
It was good! Thank you, Greg!
DeleteThank you for your work at the hospital. I imagine that it has been very stressful so I am glad you are getting some time off. Your flowers are beautiful. I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole! I hope you have a wonderful week, too!
DeleteThank you so much for your work in the hospital. We just got COVID tests last week, and were negative. We're all vaxxed and boosted. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on The No-Show!
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying so. I do get paid to do this job, it's just been extra hard lately! We're all feeling the effects of the pandemic, right? Thanks for getting vaccinated! That really helps since most hospitalizations are unvaccinated. About 95%. I have the numbers every day and that's what it works out to. Glad to hear you tested negative!
DeleteOh, wow, that Camellia is beautiful. I'm hoping my library gets A Flicker in the Dark on audio.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine being it being swamped now, it is everywhere
ReplyDeleteSounds like the upcoming days off are just in time. I imagine days at the hospital are so overwhelming right now. So I'm not the only one who forgets when I preorder books? LOL
ReplyDeleteYour plant is so pretty! All my plants are dead and under snow. I hope you enjoyed your days off.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're getting a much needed break! Enjoy!
