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.
A very busy week indeed! The hubby and I came up north on Wednesday to watch our grandchildren (5 and 2 yrs old) for a long weekend. It was our daughter's anniversary. Lots of activity with hardly a minute to spare. We went to the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito today (Saturday-see picture below) and had a fun time. It's located right below the Golden Gate Bridge on the Marin County side and is such a beautiful location!
I did manage to get a hike in while the 5 year old was at Kindergarten and my hubby watched the 2 year old:

Two audios and an ARC. All three were a hit for me.

Went a little crazy with the ARC downloads but a couple aren't out for a while so it gives me some time to read. I love the cover for Someone to Cherish, Murder Most Fair and The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels.

How was your week?
Seeing these pictures reminds me of our first trip to the US when our first destination was San Francisco! I am feeling all nostalgic as we've been locked up in our country for more than a year now...sigh.
ReplyDeleteI feel really nostalgic about Europe. France especially since Covid, so I understand! I hope you get a trip into the States and I hope I get to travel to some new destinations in Europe. I'm hoping to go to Italy next! :)
DeleteI bet a 5 year old and 2 year old can keep you on your toes! It does look like a really lovely area. Hopefully I can make it to California sometime in this lifetime. I hope that you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOh, they do! I was completely worn out as of last night! Hope you get to visit sometime. You too! :)
DeleteYou're the best grandparents to take them to a fun museum and give the kids a nice anniversary break. Glad you got in a hike while it is so pretty in spring.
ReplyDeleteI got several of those in your haul, too.
Have a great Easter, Rachel!
We love those kids to bits, even if they do wear us out. It is soooo pretty right now so I felt blessed to get out in nature and to have a hubby to watch our two year old granddaughter while I did it. Thank you, Sophia! You too!
DeleteGreat photos! We went to SF with our Girl Scouts in 2010 and stayed in a big house somewhere just west of Ghiradelli Square where we walked at night for dessert. We walked across the Golden Gate Bridge and also went to Muir Woods. We did a service project with a troop in SF prepping food and feeding people at a homeless shelter in downtown. We also rode cable cars and went to the museum, went to a tactile museum, went out to Alcatraz and ate Dim Sum. I lost over 10 pounds with all the walking we did and it was fun.
ReplyDeleteYes Mine to Possess was my favorite so far! I love the overall Psy story arc. I'm reading Hostage to Pleasure now, just started.
Happy Easter Rachel!

That sounds like an awesome trip, Anne! San Francisco is such a special place! So different and historic. We walked across the Golden Gate Bridge one year into Sausalito and had lunch. A year before Covid (?) and it was a neat experience. My daughter lived in SF for six months before moving to East Bay and so we traipsed around the city quite a bit then, but we never got to Alcatraz. We still want to go.
DeleteI need to reserve the next Psy-Changeling story for our read-along!
I love your pictures. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! You too!
DeleteI'd love to visit San Francisco one day! Loved the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get out here! It's a special place. :)
DeleteGreat pics!! The golden gate bridge is cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It is a beautiful spot.
DeleteYou are awesome grandparents and extra points to the hubs for watching the 2 year old so your could hike. (He's a keeper) Glad you enjoyed Always Only You. I adored Ren!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, he definitely is a keeper! Ren was so so sweet! Loved him to bits. I loved Francesca too!

ReplyDeleteI love that cover of the Huber book. Whoever her cover artist is I need to look them up!
Aww! Sounds like you had a great time with the family! I'm excited to read Wisteria Society too. It sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good week, Rachel!
Sounds like a busy but fun weekend! Lovely area for a hike! Hope you have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteGrandkids seriously sound like the best!! Glad you had a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous view at the activity museum! I really want to read the third Berman book but I've been holding out for the audio version. No sign of it yet.
ReplyDeleteI so need to try the Bro ones!
ReplyDeleteAwww Jurassic Park, golden oldie
Glad you had a nice time with the grandkids and were still able to get your hike in!!!
