I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews, and Library Loot co-hosted by The Captive Reader and Silly Little Mischief that
encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the
library. All of these memes give book bloggers the chance to share print
and digital books
they've received, and posts and events at their blogs.
I had the flu last week but it was relatively mild fortunately. I also went back to the doctor for the wrist I injured back in November and I start physical therapy for it this week. It was a quiet week overall, except for some books, see below.

Odd, interesting, or funny search phrases leading to the blog: More from my Cat Thursday posts - "i regret nothing cat pancake" and "how to catch a cat"; I'm not sure where these came from, "the peculiar case of lord finsbury's diamonds", "friends who dont pay what they owe to you quotes", and "ron weasley's knit blanket"; still popular are, "writing from a dogs perspective", "bea bea boo", "read more books", and "threesome"

I had an EXCELLENT book week. :)

"Written In Red" was a gift from a friend; she loves the book and knew it was on my wishlist; she also gave me an Amazon gift card. "Dreams and Shadows" was a consolation prize from Harper Collins when I wasn't accepted into their Harper Voyager program for bloggers.
This lovely is a Kindle Paperwhite, the newest addition to my Kindle herd. It was a gift from a friend but not the same one who gave me "Written In Red". I tell you, last week was like Christmas and my birthday combined with all of the gifts I received. :)

Oh no, not the flu! I've been crazy lately with the antibacterial stuff when at the store. Ugh, I don't want to get it. Glad you're feeling better, though. Woohoo ... a new kindle baby! :D Enjoy it and your books, Bea.

I hope you are feeling better now, Bea! Lovely week bookwise! Heard nothing but good things about Written in Red and I've read Dreams and Shadows, and it's an awesome book. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou have the bestest friends in the whole wide world!!! I can't think of a better way to get over the flu, too. Cuddle on the couch with the new freebies, one of your Kindles, and get better!!! Nice haul, too ;)

Glad you are feeling better, sorry about your wrist.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul this week! Loving the cover of Hard as you can! :)
Have a great week

Because reading is better than real life
Great haul! I have been trying to convince myself that I don't need a Kindle Paperwhite. I already have three other Kindles including my Kindle Touch. I hope you enjoy all the new books you got this week too. Come see what I got at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYou have some lovely looking books! Glad you are feeling better...enjoy your reads. And thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm curious about where Labor Day was filmed...lol
Hard As You Can was excellent. I really enjoyed that one. It was awesome. You got some very sexy reads as usual.
ReplyDeleteGrace
I read Written In Red is very good!
ReplyDeleteThose are funny search phrases, I wonder what's mine?
Nice collection! Love my kindles! Happy Reading! If you'd like, you can stop by my STS Following your blog and would love a follow back please :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with physical therapy, hope you feel better soon. I've heard Dreams and Shadows is good.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your bout with the flu was mild. I've heard some terrible stories this year; I'm thankful you weren't one of them! And I hope your PT goes well. I had PT for a sprained ankle that still hurt after 6 months, and it was very helpful.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new books and especially on the Kindle Paperwhite! I love mine. It's easier to read than my older Sony reader, and the backlight is really nice at night. I love the look of that Sheila Connelly mystery, too.
Great new books! I've added Reunion with Death to my Good Reads list. Good luck with the physical therapy!

Eww the flu is no fun - hope you're feeling better this week. And good luck with PT that's also not the most fun :/ At least you have great friends sending you some seriously awesome goodies! Fantastic haul :)
ReplyDeleteHow to catch a cat - that's funny! I do like the look of Written i n Red. And hope you feeling better soon, it's annoying when you don't feel your best and want to do things.
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Sunday Post.
I hope you are feeling better. Enjoy the new books and the Kindle PW. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
Great haul! I'm seeing Hard as You Can all around the blogosphere... I should check that out. Have a great week :D
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday Post
Ooooohhh...awesome book haul! Glad the flu was only mild. If a person must get sick, mild is the best way to go.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Oh no! Do hope you feel better and that your wrist feels better too.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week and try to relax.
