Sunday Post #287

 


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.

Not an eventful week. Just the usual and it snowed for three days. Our first for the season, which is kind of late in the year. I made sure to get my runs/walks in before the rain and snow started, so Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Most of it melted today. Smokey and Starla still went out and played! They romped around in the snow and then would rush back in. It was pretty cute. Peanut was content to watch their antics from the window while staying inside, warm and dry, haha.

The shoulder I injured a couple of years ago has been sore from working. I also managed to twist my neck on the same side. I'm giving both a rest as I'm not working much the next couple of weeks. 

We'll be leaving for Montana on Monday. I should be packing!

I worked another puzzle while listening to audiobooks:

Paper Boys by Charles Wysocki



Read:
(Click on cover to take you to Goodreads link)
The Underdog and Other Stories (Hercule Poirot #31) by Agatha Christie
All the Other Mothers Hate Me
Kills Well With Others (Killers of a Certain Age #2) by Deanna Raybourn


Loved revisiting Agatha Christie. Poirot uses his "little grey cells" to solve each of the cases. As usual, Poirot's little eccentricities and large ego (well earned) infuse the stories with humor! Kills Well With Others was a delight!

Thank you to Atria Books!

    1. Yes, we've had a couple of late snows here. Definitely not what you want late in the season. Thanks, Sam!

  3. We had real spring weather and now look forward to backtracking for a while. March weather really is bouncy.

  6. Ugh for snow this late! We had beautiful spring weather all week followed by crazy wind Friday and then some snow last night, but not much. Lots of good books. I go out of town a week from today, need to start packing at some point. Have a nice trip!

  7. Sounds like the animals had fun! If we get snow this late I might cry but it is actually in the weather forecast for Thursday. The books look very good. Have a great reading week.

  9. Well the snow is pretty and hopefully won't last too long. You're welcome. I appreciate your participation in the Read-along. I hope your trip is smooth sailing. We went the first week of April on the train for spring break one year for skiing. It's a beautiful place. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

  11. Guess winter snow isn't done with you yet. Another fun Wysocki puzzle done and love Poirot's Little Grey Cells, too.

    Enjoy your MT trip, Rachel!

  13. I like the snowy background in your window pic. Nice puzzle too. Check out the puzzle I posted on my site yesterday ... you received an honorable mention! I hope you have a fun time in Montana ... how can you ski if you have injuries going on?! Better rest up. We still have snowflakes going on today but nothing major. Still it's chilly. Pack accordingly.
