Sunday Post #270

 


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 also linking up to The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb Nance @Readerbuzz.

Happy Sunday! I skipped last week because we were in Montana again. We got home on Monday late and I feel like I've been recuperating since then. We helped our daughter and SIL move into their house there and it was a lot of work. Still, we had a good time together, watched one of the Wonder Woman movies, played cards, went on a couple of hikes, so it wasn't all work.

It's been cold and rainy the last few days here at home and it seems like the trees fully changed overnight:


We slept in today, went to lunch and I worked on a puzzle while finishing my audiobook: 

Treehopper's General Store

Read:

This is my reading for the last two weeks:

The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
Fated (Alex Verus #1) by Benedict Jacka

The Wedding Engagement by Zoe Allison
Lightning in Her Hands by Raquel Vasquez Gilliland
The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave

The Woman in Black by Susan Hill-3.5 Stars

The Tainted Cup and Fated by Benedict Jacka were books that I've been wanting to read for a while. I'm so glad I've been requesting less so I was able to fit them in, because I loved both! I saw Lark's Top Ten Tuesday and The Woman in Black was featured. It was a movie I had always wanted to watch, but I thought I'd listen to the audio first. It was a classic ghost story! Nice and spooky. The audio was a dramatized version and part of my Audible membership. Now I need to watch the movie and see how they compare.


Received:

Servant of the Earth by Sarah Hawley
The Muse of Maiden Lane by Mimi Matthews
Her Knight at the Museum by Bryn Donovan

The Holiday Honeymoon Switch by Julia McKay
Everybody is a Liar by Liv Constantine

Thank you to Berkley, G.P. Putnam's Sons, and Random House Audio!

It's been cold and rainy the last few days, so of course Peanut is napping and enjoying the fire. A purrfect background for my Instagram post!




How was your week?

  1. We have finally (after the hurricane, we've had nothing) gotten rain, and now it's dreary and hard to get outside. I deserve this after complaining so much about no rain. Sigh.

    You did well in your reading, despite being away in Montana. And the trees are magnificent.

  8. I've done that exact puzzle. Good idea to work it while you listen to your audiobook. Amazing photo of the Fall colors! Wow. And what a pretty cat! Also very fall-colorish!

  12. I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip to MT and got the kids settled. Your fall color is lovely and Peanut is a cutey. I can't wait for book 2 after Tainted Cup. I'm hoping to break out some puzzles soon.

    Have a good week, Rachel!

  13. Your yard looks beautiful with the trees changing. And that's a cute pic of Peanut. I'm glad your Montana trip went well -- sounds like a lot of work! But you got it done and I hope they both will be very happy at their new place. Montana is a pretty state. Have a great week.
