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'm also linking up to The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb Nance @Readerbuzz.
I had a hectic work week, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Still don't know what's going on with the co-worker, but they've asked for more hours from me next week.
It seems spring has finally arrived here in Northern California and things are really starting to bloom! The temperatures were warm, upper 70s today and sunny. I went on a 5 mile walk and then came home did some gardening and then cleaned the house. I'm bushed! I hope to sleep in tomorrow and then get more planting done.

I had a great reading week with two 5 star reads and one 4 star!

I have an e-ARC of The Wedding at Moonglow Bay and noticed my library had an audio copy ready to download. I'm enjoying it already. I borrowed A Fire in the Night after seeing Lark's review. Summer Reading just sounded too good to pass on.

How was your week?
Ah, spring! But we are still rainy and drizzly and cold. For the rest of the week, at least.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to have a few days in 80s coming up but we dip back into the 60s the week after. Hope you get some nice weather!
DeleteI love spring when everything starts blossoming. The colors that will give way to all the greenery. Beautiful pictures (as always). I am excited that you loved Tanner & Louise. There was something special about that book.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful time of year and our torrential rains has made it a monster bloom here in California. Tanner & Louise was so good!
DeleteWe are still waiting for sunshine here, but despite mostly gloomy days we are getting some buds and blooms. Your pictures are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you get some nice weather soon!
DeleteWhat does 70 degrees feel like? haha its been so long for us. But here in Utah we don't want it that warm yet, because the record amounts of snow would just cause harmful amounts of flooding here. And we aren't prepped for that.
ReplyDeleteBut I do love all the blossoms and your pictures just has me yearning for all the blossoms and springtime. Excited to see that you read that Laura Griffin. Such a fun author to read, I need to read more of her.
Yes, I think they're worried about flooding in California too, but not where I live. Hope you get some nice Spring weather without flooding soon!
DeleteIt's been beautiful here, too, and I've been trying to walk a little every day I can. I'm glad you are getting to enjoy the good weather there.
ReplyDeleteThe Jane & Edward book sounds interesting. Let's see what you think.
Thanks! I loved Jane & Edward!
DeleteAnd, oh, that magnolia!
ReplyDeleteI know! Isn't it pretty? I had to take pictures.
DeleteThat magnolia looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
It is! Thanks, you too!
DeleteIt indeed seems like spring has arrived Rachel! I hope you'll be able to work less in the coming week though to enjoy said spring. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSpring has arrived! Thanks, Sophie! You too!
DeleteI love your pics.

Thanks!
DeleteOoh I saw Fire in the Night somewhere else this week too. And deep Tide looks good as well. It's kind of the same here with spring- things are blooming but it hasn't warmed up much yet. We did get a day of 80, but now it's 42 again. :(
ReplyDeleteHave a super week :)
It was on Lark's blog. I requested it at my library after seeing her review. Nice that you got one day of good weather! Hope you get more. You too, Greg! :)
DeleteThat's where it was!
DeleteGlad you enjoyed your books this week! And Yay for Spring!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteJane and Edward looks good... I haven't seen that one before. Also love the cover of Jane Eyre at the top of your IG photo. Beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteIt was so good! Thanks! It's a Chiltern Classic Edition. I love it too!
DeleteYay for the spring weather and blossoms. Thanks for sharing. I hope it doesn't mean you have to work a lot more hours indefinitely.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
It is so nice. I get so excited about everything growing and flowering. I don't think I will. They have another traveler coming to cover shifts.
DeleteThose magnolia blossoms are gorgeous! And I hope you have a less hectic week at work this week.
ReplyDeleteThey're so pretty. I bought one when I lived in Southern California but it didn't survive the hot summer. I might try and buy one for my yard here. Me too!
DeleteSuch beautiful springs colors and temps you have up there! Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSorry that work has become hectic for you. I hope they deal with the coworker soon. Hope you have a great week!

Thanks Ronyell!
DeleteI'm glad it wasn't as bad as you were anticipating. Lovely spring blooms and glad you had a chance to get in a healthy walk. Your Instagram Jane Eyre tribute is neat.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Rachel!
Thanks, Sophia! I love all the beautiful classic editions they've been putting out. You too!
DeleteYour weather sounds wonderful and I love that trees and plants are blooming. Glad that work was not bad this week, although it is tough to not know what is going on. Enjoy your upcoming books. I enjoy the Moonglow Bay series and need to read of listen to that one. Have a great week, Rachel.
ReplyDeleteI just finished the Moonglow Bay book and enjoyed it. It was a little slow in the beginning though. You too, Carla!
DeleteYou took some beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love a great reading week. Regine
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers!

Spring! I am jealous
ReplyDeleteThe walk sounds lovely. I bet you have wonderful views.
