Sunday Post #234

 


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'm in Sequoia National Forrest with a bunch of family. I haven't had much time to myself, hardly enough to get this post up, but it's been fun catching up with extended family/friends. We're heading home tomorrow (Sunday). It's a six hour drive back home so I hope we're on the road early. It's been a busy few weeks! Before we left I sat down and worked on 2023 favorites and hope to post next week. I can't believe we're at the end of the year, it's flown by!

  2. California is such a huge state. I am always wowed when I hear how long it takes you to travel from one part to another. I would love to see that part of the world someday. So glad to see you enjoyed The Takedown. I was surprised by how much I loved it as suspense/action/adventure is not my norm. Looking forward to more adult releases from Walker.

    1. It is a big state! Yes, it was a surprise for me because I wasn't into it the first time I tried reading. I'm glad I didn't just DNF it.

  10. Wonderful to have that time with family and friends. It is a busy time of year. I am a fan of Linda Howard but haven't read very many of her books yet. Happy New Year Rachel!

  12. I haven't been to the Sequoia National Forest since I was 18. My parents took me there after I graduated because I'd always wanted to go. I hope you have a wonderful time with your family. Happy New Year!

  15. Oh fun! Sequoia National Forrest! I think my parents took me there when I was a little child, but of course I don't remember it. Hope the drive home wasn't treacherous. Happy New Year!

    1. I was thrilled to get approval! I had just got a rejection on another book I really wanted to it softened the blow a bit, lol. I almost listened to it on our way home. We have another long car ride trip planned so I'll probably save it for then. Hope we both love it, Lark!
