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 traveled up to my daughter's house on Thursday, but it was a miserable 5 hour delay before I got in. It would've taken less time to drive. A long and extremely frustrating day as I rushed from work to catch the flight. Anyhow, we've had a nice two days since then. Went went to the park (picture above) on Friday, and paddle boating today (Saturday). Lunch out both days and dinner and a movie in both days. Flying home tomorrow morning. I'm crossing my fingers there won't be any flight issues.

I really enjoyed Love on Lexington Avenue, far more than the first book. I listened to the second Ice Planet Barbarians: Barbarian Alien and it was just as good as the first. Loved A Cowboy Under the Mistletoe! Giving away a copy here if you're interested. Two other giveaways listed on the sidebar as well.

Grabbed up a copy of Marriage on Madison Avenue as soon as I finished Love on Lexington Avenue. Got a library copy of Aurora Blazing, but I might get an audio copy as well. I was excited to get a copy of All the Best Lies as I'm loving the Ellery Hathaway series. Hoping for some movement on the romance!
Watched:
So it was a superhero weekend! I watched the end of Avengers: Infinity War (which was tragic!) in the airport lounge because it was on, and my daughter just about had a fit because I hadn't watched the other previous movies. So I've been told to ignore that and now I'm watching the ones that lead up to it and the better movie (per my daughter) Avengers: Endgame. Thor was a little cheesy but fun, Avengers and Iron Man 3 were better. Thor: The Dark World will be next.
How was your week?
I am listening to Aurora Blazing now!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you got some great books this past week, Rachel. I hope you'll enjoy each and every one of them.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

Ugh, what a miserable travel experience that was. Hope the return trip was much smoother. What an adorable little park! :) I enjoy Lauren Layne but haven't started her latest series yet.

That 5 hour delay sounds brutal! Hopefully the flight back is better! And I also have a CO of Marriage on Madison Avenue!

I love how air travel can cut your travel time, but when there are issues, it's always a struggle. Happy to hear all was well once you arrived. A lot of people liked the second Layne book better, and I guess I did too, to some degree, but I still loved Oliver a lot.
ReplyDelete5 hours delay Rachel??? I would be sick with worry as I have fear of flying!
ReplyDeletePraying.
ReplyDeleteI love Ice Planet Barbarians! I am actually on a huge Ruby Dixon binge at the moment.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading! ��
Ugh and travel delays. Glad you are having a nice visit. I have Auroa Blazing up to listen to next. Working on Full Throttle by Joe Hill at the moment. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI am excited for the new Karen Rose book! I love her Cincinnati Series (that's where I live-and so does the author!)
ReplyDeleteUgh flight delays are the worst! I'm glad you still had a nice time :) Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOh no sorry to hear about the travel issues! How frustrating. Sounds like you're having a nice visit though. And paddle boating- that is so fun!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Marvel movies! :) I'm a little behind on the last few...
There are so many Marvel movies now I'm still trying to catch up!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Travel issues are so frustrating!
ReplyDeleteAurora Blazing looks so good and is a series I wanna read. Also hope you continue enjoying your way through the MCU.
UGH. You can read about my daughter's flight delays on my Sunday post. I loved Aurora Blazing and I have Into the Dark which I hope to read soon. It sounds like a wonderful weekend once you arrived. I hope you have good, safe travels home. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
We watched Spider-Man : Far from Home this weekend and really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI hope your flight home was less stressful
Wishing you a great reading week
Bummer about the flight delay. Those are the pits. LOL, I'm so behind on superhero movies. I've seen snatches of a few, but not watched them entirely. Glad you had a good time for your visit and with the books you were able to read/listen to. I want to start Aurora Rising at some point.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Rachel!
I hope the flight home was much better!!
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of All the Best Lies I'm excited to read, too. :D
ReplyDeleteSorry about the bad flight, but I'm glad you had a nice time with your daughter!!
