Sunday Post #278-Late Edition

 


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! We got in from Montana last night/morning at 2am, so I'm tired! It was a fun trip with ice skating, sledding, card games and fireworks. It was cold, but it didn't feel as cold as I thought it would.

We sat by the outdoor fire despite the temps! 



The weather here at home is gorgeous with sun and highs in the upper 50s. I didn't get as much reading done, but that was expected.

  2. Love the pictures! Glad to hear you had a great trip, and I am jealous of your weather. It's like 20 here. I need to find out about the Novak book.

    1. It was in the 20s in Montana, but didn't feel that bad when we dressed for it. I think the humidity is drier in Montana than in the East, though so I think that makes a difference. It's one of her older ones that is being re-released. It's been ok so far.

  4. Lies on the Serpent's Tongue has a beautiful cover.

    My cousin, after a lifetime here on the Texas Gulf Coast near me, moved to Colorado and he has told us over and over now that the dry cold he experiences there is nothing like our wet cold.

    1. Love the cover! I think you're right, the wetter weather makes the cold feel colder.

  6. Glad to see you are home safely and to warmish weather in the 50s. No skiing? I love the Benedict Jacka, Allison Brennan and Kelley Armstrong books especially.

  7. Glad the winter vacation with family in MT went great and you came back to mild temps. Great seeing all the high reading scores. I'll have to look up the Kate Pearsall books at some point.

    Happy New Year, Rachel!

  8. Your Montana trip sound like so much fun! I haven’t been there since I was a preteen. I think it’s a beautiful state. I love the book title Once Bitten Twice Shy, it gives me 80s music vibes.
