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.
Last week was the last regular week of care at my school; we start our summer schedule on Monday. I said goodbye to one child who's taking the summer off and to two who are leaving the center. I always hate saying goodbye; I'll really miss the ones who left. Of course, I got sick halfway through the week; my usual sinus infection and asthma flare. Sigh. Well, at least it's been several months since I was sick so that's progress. Unfortunately, it's affecting my reading and I'm now behind on my reviews and my editing so you may not see me around much for a few days.

ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better. Allergies and asthma are so hard to deal with. I hope you're able to do more reading. Life is hard when you can't even read.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better, I know how asthma and allergies can be....sucks!! You've had nice week and looks like you have a great set of books to read. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI've never had a sinus infection, but my son gets them bad. Hope you get over that yucky stuff soon and get more reading in.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better! Sounds like you have some great reading planned. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I hope you are feeling better. Enjoy your new additions. :)

I am excited to read Final Sentence and look forward to seeing what you think of it. I have yet to read a Mary Higgins Clark book. I really have to do that.

My Sunday Post...
I'm sorry you're not feeling well, and I hope you get better soon! Meanwhile, curl up with some tea and a nice audiobook. (Ginger tea is good for clearing sinuses!)
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the books you got this week! I downloaded Do Not Disturb, too. And congrats on the Goodreads win! I've got the e-ARC of Rose Harbor in Bloom; I need to read a few more ARCs before I get to it.
You've picked up some interesting books this week!! Enjoy them when you are able to read again!!
ReplyDeleteThanx for visiting my StS and Sunday Post!
