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.
Normal work week here. Still hot with temps in the high 80s low 90s and supposed to be the same next week. I'll be up in Northern California again after a half day at work on Thursday. I hope to get some hiking in and the weather is cooler up there.
I had to have dental surgery on Friday. A re-do of a root canal I had done when I was ten years old. I chipped the tooth back then to the nerve. It was over a crown so they had to go above the tooth, though my gums. Not fun or cheap. My face looked like a case of plastic surgery gone wrong with the swelling, but today it's a little better. I'm glad it's over with.

The Silent Wife was soooo good! I couldn't stop listening! I just love Will and Sara together! My husband and I listened to the rest of Age of Deception last weekend while driving back and forth from here to Lake Tahoe. Really enjoying the series and the next book should be out soon. We did a re-read *listen* on our way home from Lake Tahoe on Sunday. Finished it after we got home.

I'm so thrilled I got approved for A Stranger in Town, because I love the Rockton series! Lisa Gardner is an auto-read for me and this is her first standalone mystery in twenty years. New characters are I'm excited to dig in. I've heard a lot of good things about The Thursday Murder Club and so I was happy to get an audio copy from the library.
Watched:
One of the all-time best ghost/mystery/thrillers for me. I love this movie and it scares me every time! The acting and the setting and scenery are top notch. Love the beautiful house in the Fall Vermont setting, too!
This was a fun thriller, even with several TSTL moments. Not on the same level as What Lies Beneath, though.
How was your week?
Dental surgery is no fun and that sounds like a rough one. I hope you recover quickly and with a minimum of pain. Have a great trip up north too- sounds like a great time.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the new Rockton book!
Thanks, Greg! Not too much pain just swelling. Me too! :)
DeleteOooooh, dental surgery *big hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you loved the Karin Slaughter, it's on my to-read list ! And I have to confess I'm a bit envious to see you've snatched the next Lisa Gardner, she's my favourite thriller author, I love her female characters.
I hope you'll get better this week, it must be hard to eat. Take care :)
Thanks! Oh, a fellow Slaughter & Gardner fan! I'll have to visit your blog more often! :)
DeleteHappy Belated Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a quiet one at my house, but the neighbors had a rip roaring block party. I was a little surprised by the number of people. I think I'd call it a super spreader event. Eeek!
DeleteYou poor dear! Sorry to hear about the dental surgery. Hope they gave you something for pain relief and that you recover quickly
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam!
DeleteFirstly OUCH!!! Secondly, let us know how you get on with the Osman novel. He's on telly a lot over here and is a very clever man but I've never read any of his works.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of good things about his debut. Fellow bloggy friends have enjoyed the story so I'm looking forward to it!
DeleteDental surgery is so not fun. I'm sorry you had to have it! I've been in a bit of a reading slump let's call it, but I have managed to finish reading book 3 in the Bridgertons series by Julia Quinn. can't wait for the show to be out! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It sucks being in a reading slump. Sometimes a change of genre helps. You too! :)
DeleteUgh..dental surgery. *shivers* Nice haul this week!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's what I thought! Glad it's over. Thanks!
DeleteI'm glad to see you've got some great books to balance out the horrible dental procedure on Friday. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes! It did help balance and it's all over so all good! You, too, Flora! :)
DeleteUgh tooth surgery is awful! I’m glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI loved Osman’s debut, and I’m on a bit of a UK TV kick at the moment
Wishing you a great reading week
Thanks! I've heard good things, so I'm excited to pick it up. :)
Deleteugh! i hate the dentist. so many good looking books. hope you enjoy them all
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Same here! The numbing shots are the worst part!
DeleteDental surgery is no fun.. I’ve got 3 cavaties and my dentist keeps canceling sighs
ReplyDeleteOh, no! Maybe it's time for a new dentist!
DeleteDental surgery is never fun Rachel! I hope your face gets back to normal this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sophie! :)
DeleteGlad the surgery is over for you and you're healing well. Fun that you get to take another trip up north for hiking and a visit. Yes, I got picked for A Stranger in Town, too. I was so worried I wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Rachel!
I was worried I wouldn't get it either! It's been hit and miss lately for my requests. And I don't request that much anymore. So excited!
DeleteYou too, Sophia! :)
What Lies Beneath is such a great movie! And I'm so sorry about your root canal; those are the worst. Hope your mouth feels better soon! :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I love it even after countless times watching it! Thanks! It's actually not that painful anymore, the swelling was more the issue. Should be almost 100% by Monday morning. :)
DeleteUgh dental surgery. Poor you :( But I guess it hd to be done
ReplyDeleteYep, just glad it's over with! :)
DeleteOh, yikes! That dental surgery sounds very unpleasant---glad you got it over with at least.
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Yep! So happy it's over with.
DeleteI'm so sorry that you had to have dental stuff done. That's never fun at all.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The dentist isn't my happy place, lol! :)
DeleteThe Silent Wife was stellar! I am looking forward to the new Rockton but want the audio version. I hope you enjoy The Thursday Murder Club as much as I did. I'm glad your dental work is over and you get a break later this week. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
It was soooo good! I loved it even more than the previous book in the series. I'll be buying the audio version of Rockton as well because my husband is a fan of the series and we listen to each new release even if I get an ARC ahead of time. I usually find I've missed a few details on my second time through. Thanks!
DeleteHope the dental work goes well. Ooo, I want to try Silent Wife and What Lies Beneath.
ReplyDeleteI hope you mouth is ok, I’ve had root canal treatment and it wasn’t something I’d like to ever revisit.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books!
Hello my dear friends, I don't know any of these books but I'll surely give a try to the mystery ones :) They are always a good choice. Have a good week
ReplyDeleteI'm so curious about Thursday Murder Club. I've heard good things.
ReplyDeleteOoh that tooth surgery sounds rough. Hope you're feeling okay!

Ugh, sorry to hear about the dental surgery, Rachel! That's never fun. Hope your mouth is feeling better by now. We're actually getting cooler temps this week (70's instead of 80's) and it feels fabulous. Wish I could send some your way. :)
