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 #42

 

I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; and Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews. These  memes allow book bloggers the chance to share print and digital books they've received, and different posts and events at their blogs. 

It's been a good week; work went well, the book fairy was very generous to me, my family is doing well, and even the weather has been good. I am now the only one of four siblings holding down a paying job: my brother, the oldest of us, is currently unemployed but lives with and takes care of our parents; one sister took a medical disability retirement years ago (I am the model of textbook health next to her) and the other sister, though healthy and only in her fifties, retired last week. It feels...odd to be the only one employed.
