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 hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving! I ate so much I felt full the next morning, too! Had a nice day with my daughter, her husband and of course our grand kids.
I'm getting this up late today because I binge watched the new season of Virgin River which just came out Friday. I was hoping they'd be more faithful to the book plots, but no. Still, the scenery is gorgeous, and I like the actors they picked. Jack's Bar and Mel's cabin are perfect! I binged because I wanted to see things resolved and got another cliffhanger! Ack! Will I have to wait another year? Who knows.

Sleeping Murder and Emerald Blaze are both audio re-reads. Loved both. I've always thought Sleeping Murder to be a tragic story, but I guess murder usually is, right? You Had Me at Hockey was my first experience with Kelly Jamieson and I really enjoyed it! Long Road to Mercy was good. I have the next two books to go.

Continuing with the Atlee Pine series. Broke down and grabbed an audio copy of The Survivors. I love the sound of This Cowboy of Mine. First time reading R.C. Ryan. I've heard good things about Chloe Neill and seen The Bright and Breaking Sea around, so I requested a library copy. We'll see how it goes.
Watched:
Binged the whole second series yesterday. See above for my thoughts. Anyone else watch it?

How was your week?
The first book in that Jamieson series is even better. I loved Otis. Glad you had fun with the family and are finding time to get your Virgin River fix.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a good Thanksgiving this year. Despite everything. Hope this next week is even better! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI've heard Virgin River is good. We almost started it the other night but ended up watching Enola Holmes.
Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving, Rachel. I’ve heard a lot of people say they enjoy the Virgin River show more than the books. I don’t have Netflix (not a TV watcher) so I take their word for it. I only read the first book and decided it wasn’t really for me. I do remember liking Jack, though. :) I’ve been meaning to try something by Kelly Jamieson for ages.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you had a nice Thanksgiving. My daughter and grandson was here with me and we made a nice dinner and enjoyed it. It was different but all in all it was nice.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and fun that you got to binge the second season. I'm glad some of the settings were right even if the plot went off in a new direction. Looks like you had a good week of reading, too.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Rachel!
I have heard the Virgin River series is good, glad you enjoy it and sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving. And yes I felt as stuffed as our Turkey LOL I hope you enjoy that R.C. Ryan I am really curious about her as I adore cowboys.
ReplyDeleteOh I am happy to hear you had a nice holiday with family and did some things you just want to do. You are reading some great stuff which I liked or plan to read.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
I am so glad that you had a nice Thanksgiving with your family. A re-read of Ilona Andrews sounds like the perfect thing! I hope you enjoy your new books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOh no, not another cliffie! I love a good netflix binge
