BEA'S BOOK NOOK "I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once." C. S. Lewis “If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.” ― Oscar Wilde

Sunday Book Share #104

 
http://www.talksupeblog.com/search/label/Bought%20Borrowed%20and%20Bagged

 I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by The Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews; Bought Borrowed and Bagged, hosted by TalkSupe; and Library Loot co-hosted by The Captive Reader and Silly Little Mischief. All of these memes are about sharing the print and digital books received and/or posts and events on the blog.

It was a mixed week last week, some bad stuff and some good stuff. In the good news department, I have a temporary teaching job, and I have some editing jobs lined up. As far as the bad news, well, a friend is ill and in the hospital, we don't know for how long. I  have my fingers crossed that treatment will kick in quickly but I'm not hopeful. Also, I have another new roommate, a cat named Claude. He belongs to the daughter of a former co-worker; the daughter and her husband are moving to Australia and forget to allow time for Claude's quarantine. Claude doesn't get along with her mother's cats so he's staying with me until he can legally enter Australia, which should be in January.


The Week In Review

Odd, interesting, or funny search phrases leading to the blog: a mix of old and new phrases last week: "nuzzle my cleavage", "lady cottington's pressed fairy book" (Jax reviewed that a while back), "cat run outdoor", "how to catch a cat", and "joys of owning a cat".

I got the Baby book via NetGalley about 4 years ago but had an assortment of technical difficulties and was never able to read it. Now I can, thanks to my library. :)

It's Christmas in..August? :D Harlequin sent out their holiday title email and I succumbed. Most of the these will be for the Caffeinated Reviewer's Ho Ho Ho a Thon in November.
