Sunday Post #192

 

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 quiet week, staying home. I had my sister and her husband over for dinner last night so I spent the day cleaning house and then making dinner. We had a great time visiting. 

The rain stopped on Wednesday and we've had several sunny days. Cold but sunny, highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s. My cat has been so happy to get outside here and there! He's not the type to be cooped up inside so the constant rain has been tough on him. My husband and I got out and walked 5 miles to a nearby lake today and it was beautiful. Starting to think about plantings for spring.

I had a great reading week! I enjoyed all the books, but I have to say Magic Tides was my favorite! All were really good, though, and I read five books! I've been lucky to read three lately, so yay!

Haven't been super active this week on Instagram. This is one of the two posts I shared this week. Hopefully I'll have more this week...




How was your week?

  1. I just finished the Tracy book this week as well - my review is up. If you enjoyed Magic Tides so much, it might be worth a look. Thanks. Have a terrific week.

    1. Magic Tides is really good, but if you haven't read the rest of Kate Daniels I'd start from the beginning. Thanks, you too, Terrie!

  2. Family time is so nice. And that is chilly! I love it when it's brisk and the sun is out. It's been very dreary here.

    Have an awesome Sunday !!

    1. Aarg. I am messing up this morning. Sorry for all the sorry attempts at leaving a comment.

      I love quiet times and we've been having a lot of those with the bad weather. What Lies in the Woods is next on my list.

  8. You've sure had some cold days (and nights). Brrr. The evening with your sister sounds like fun. I wish my sisters lived a little closer. One is only 20 minutes away but the other is at least a 45 minute drive. Not bad, but not super close, either. Five books last week... wow! You were on a reading roll. :)

    1. My sister is about 26 minutes away, but we try and get together every week. 45 minute isn't too bad, but still. Yes! I had a lot of time on my flight home from Texas last Sunday so I got a bunch done. :)

  13. Magic Tides was awesome! It's so nice to stay home and just get a few things handled which is what I do most of the time these days. Wishing you more sunny days ahead!
