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.
Happy Sunday!
We had a wonderful time in Mendocino, California! We've been several times but it's the first time since moving four years ago. The drive was really pretty, just a bit over four hours and we listened to an audiobook both ways.

The Eye of the Bedlam Bride (Dungeon Crawler Carl #6) by Matt Dinniman-5 Stars
Blaze Orange by Paul Doiron-4 Stars
Mad Mabel is a re-read by audio and it was even better the second time around! Dungeon Crawler #6 was over 26 hours! I had started it and had to put is aside to get through several review books but restarted on our vacation. I can't wait to start the next one (book 7)! Book 8 comes out in a couple of weeks.

How was your week?
Mendocino looks like a town I need to visit. The ocean view is beautiful and I love that bookstore. The Brilliant Butterflies puzzle was made just for me, I think!
ReplyDeleteThe northern beaches on the Pacific Coast are so gorgeous! Mendocino is definitely worth a trip, IMO. I love it every time I go! Oh yes! The butterfly puzzle has your name written all over it!
DeleteLovely photos of vacation spots. You got in some good reads too.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Thanks! I had so many photos but I narrowed it down so the post wouldn't go on forever, lol!
DeleteI don't think I've ever been to Mendocino. It looks like a fun little city.

It's a gorgeous place to visit!
DeleteWow gorgeous photos of your trip. I've never been to Mendocino ... but would like to go. And a bookstore there too! You finished a puzzle too? Wow keep it going. Glad to hear the Hepworth novel is a 5 star read ... I think I'd like to add the audio to my list. thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think you'd love Mendocino, Susan. The bookstore was wonderful! It's where I bought the puzzle! They had a good selection. I hope you love the audio as much as I did!
DeleteOMG, llamas - I'm there. Looks like a beautiful getaway.
ReplyDeleteI love the Llamas! They're so cute! You can go out and pet them if you want to as well!
