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.
We're up in Park City, Utah this week and it's gorgeous! It's my first visit here but I'd love to come back. The town is so cute with lots of great places to eat and there's tons of stuff to do. Flying home tomorrow (Sunday) *sobs*.

As expected, because we've been so busy I haven't got much reading done. I read and loved Life and Other Inconveniences last week.
Received/Purchased/Library Lend:
 |  |  |
These are all library lends/audio books. The Scent of Murder captured my attention after reading Lark's review. I have a physical copy of One Summer in Paris sent by the publisher, and I just knew I wouldn't get to it unless I listened to the audio version. I didn't really care for the first book in Paige Tyler's SWAT Wolf Alpha series, but I've seen other glowing reviews and they mentioned the first book wasn't as strong. I'm going to give the series another try.
Watched:
Not really a movie I'd normally pick, but when you're on vacation with family it's a group decision. It was funny and I ended up liking it.
How was your week?
Glad you're having a great time in Utah! It sounds beautiful there.
ReplyDeleteI remember The Hangover lol. That movie was kinda crazy. :)
For sure! :)
DeleteUtah looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt was so beautiful! :)
DeleteI remember watching The Hangover, it's just funny how everything that can go wrong will go wrong.
ReplyDeleteYep! It was a crazy ride, lol. :)
DeleteHave fun.

DeletePark City, Utah looks beautiful!! I've never watched Hangover, actually. It sucks to go back home after a vacation ðŸ˜

It's not a movie I would've watched on my own, but it was fun. :)
DeleteThat photo is stunning! I'm sure you'll be sad to leave! I've never seen The Hangover. Like you, it's not the type of movie I would typically pick. LOL Hope you're enjoying your weekend, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tanya! Yes, I don't normally go for those kinds of movies, but it was better than I expected, lol.
DeleteThe hangover was so insanely over the top I actually liked it. And I'm curious to get your thoughts on The Scent of Murder. its been sitting on my kindle for awhile!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I'm looking forward to picking it up. :)
DeleteThat photo is beautiful! It looks unreal! The Scent of Murder sounds interesting. I'd be curious to hear what you think!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good week, Rachel!
Thanks, Nick! I'm looking forward to reading it. You have a great week too! :)
DeleteThat photo is so beautiful. It looks so unreal but I'm sure the picture doesn't even do it justice. I hope you had a wonderful trip and a safe return. I have watched the Hangover and it was funny in the aspect that everything that went wrong totally did but like you it is not my typical pick for a movie.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!

I know, pictures don't seem to capture the actual beauty. Thank you, Tina! :)
DeleteWait is this your first time seeing The Hangover?! Also, that scenery is gorgeous! I'll be up in northern California camping in September and I can't wait for beautiful views like that
ReplyDeleteYep, first time and I actually liked it more than I thought I would. Oh, northern California has some gorgeous scenery! Hope you love it out here! :)
DeletePark City!!! Love that place. It's great in winter, too. I just visited Utah to visit family and went camping up in the Uintahs.
ReplyDeleteHopefully your revisit with Paige Tyler's series goes well. The fourth, sixth, and eighth books are my favs. :)
LOL, I might have watched a movie or two that wouldn't have been my vote when family was involved.
Glad you had a good time and hope you have a nice week.
It was gorgeous! I hope you had a great time camping! I've heard from more than one source that the series gets better so I'm looking forward to reading book two. Isn't that how it always works with family vacations? Lol! Thanks, Sophia Rose! :)
DeletePark City is great. But then I'm biased. I live in Salt Lake. :D
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy The Scent of Murder!
I don't think you're biased because it is beautiful! Me too. :)
DeleteI am glad you are having a nice time in Park City! It looks like a beautiful place. My in-laws just moved to Utah earlier this summer and are loving it so far. I am not sure when we will get around to visiting them. It's a bit of a drive to get there. I hope you enjoy your books! Scent of Murder sounds really good, and I enjoy Sarah Morgan's work.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week, Rachel!
Hope you get out there soon, because it is beautiful. I'm looking forward to trying her out! You, too! :)
DeleteI love Utah! We visited twice there and it's one of my favorite states, right alongside Colorado and Montana. Happy Sunday rachel!
ReplyDeleteMontana is very pretty, but I haven't been to Colorado yet. Must get there. Thanks Sophie! :)
DeleteUtah looks beautiful! I'm glad you've had a good trip.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen The Hangover but I've heard it's quite funny and I like Bradley Cooper, so... 🙂
Thanks, Nicci! And yes, Bradley Cooper is not unfortunate looking, lol! :)
DeleteUtah looks beautiful. I have wanted to go there since I read one of Paula Stokes books, which took place in Zion National Park. I actually am thinking about reading the new Higgins book. The synopsis made it sound like something I would like, and if you loved it, it must be good.
ReplyDeleteI want to visit Zion and Bryce someday. They look spectacular. Hope you enjoy Life and Other Inconveniences! I'm interested in hearing what you think. :)
DeleteUtah - who wouldn't thought! I never considered vacationing there - I'm glad you had a wonderful time! My husband loves The Hangover movies - I've seen them way too many times. :D I just started the new KH book and I'm loving it!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit Utah! It looks gorgeous! Coming home from a wonderful vacation and returning to reality is always tough. I can't wait to see what you think of One Summer in Paris. I've enjoyed a few books by Sarah Morgan. I hope you have a great week back! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteLindy@ A Bookish Escape
