Sunday Post #64



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. 

So this week passed in a blur. I was really busy at work and just in a funk mentally, a little depressed, truth be told.
Sorry I didn't get around to everyone this week, but I'll be making the rounds and trying to catch up. I did manage to do a six mile hike with my sister today, which was really good for my mental state. It rained on us, but still very pretty:

I'm enjoying the Gaslight mystery series and I just loved Unforgiven! Jay Crownover rarely disappoints!

This show is such a tear jerker! We binge watched about 6 episodes. 


How was your week?

  3. Sorry your week wasn't as good as it could have been. I think I'll go on a long walk myself today to clear my mind a bit - the view you shared is beautiful.
    Your new books look really good, and I hope you'll enjoy them.
    Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

  4. Hey Rachel, just checking in from Kimberly's Sunday Post. I am sorry to hear that you've been feeling in a funk this week - A good walk/hike is great to the clear the mind out though isn't it? I love your photo. My cousin and I did the same thing this week. I hope you feel better this coming week.

  8. I relate to drowning in work lol. I've barely had time to myself last week and my Sunday Post update is very short. I'm glad the trek helped with your mental health! Exercise and physical exertion always does.

  19. I hope you're able to pull out of your fun Rachel. Life can be hard, but hopefully things will look up soon friend :) I think you have the right idea by connecting with nature, and spending quality time with your sister :). I loved Unforgiven, and can't wait for Shot's book!
