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 give book bloggers the chance to share print
and digital books
they've received, and the posts and events at their blogs.
Lots and lots of rain and chilly temps; it felt very much like March for most of the week. I did some reading, worked on editing, and had more testing on my wrist. I'm also searching for a new job as I'll be leaving my current job in August, and it's scary. It's been 20+ years! Eep.

Odd, interesting, or funny search phrases leading to the blog: April's top search terms were "threesome" in the number one spot, followed by "beasbooknook.blogspot.com", "how to catch a cat", "nora roberts releases", "christian dating online austin texas new topic" and finally, "bea's book nook" There's a story in there somewhere. :D

Purchased
This has the first three books and was on sale for 99 cents. I couldn't resist.
The last book in the series was on sale for 99 cents also so for just under two dollars I picked up the whole series. :)

Did you add any books to your shelves or e-readers last week? Leave a link to your Sunday Post so I can visit you during the week.
What a nice looking selection of books! And I hope you find a new job that you enjoy. It is hard to change jobs after so many years.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog...and have a great week.

ReplyDeleteMWAHAHAHAHA
DeleteThanks. Changing jobs is the right thing to do but it's scary.
We had the same kinda weather all week, didn't really clear up til today. Hope your week ahead is a good one. Good luck with the job search, hope you find something you really like.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg.
Delete"Lots and lots of rain and chilly temps; it felt very much like March for most of the week."
ReplyDeleteSame here...and I'm in Italy (on the Tuscan coast). Argh!
Best wishes for your future...are you headed toward a new job?
The search strings were so funny. "How to catch a cat"? And "threesome" LOL.
Sorry for the deleted comment BTW. Mistake spotted too late!
No worries about the deletion. :) It seems wrong that you, over there in Italy, are having my crappy weather. :(
DeleteMy search terms crack me up some days. I hope I'm headed for a new job, that's the goal.
Oh my God, I'd have to check search phrases on my blog too. Who knows what I'd find. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat haul, I'm curious about Hearts of the Anemoi series.
Yes, check your phrases. They can be a hoot.
DeleteGood luck with your job search! I hope you find just what you are looking for.

DeleteIt rained a lot here also, I heard we are getting more next week. I am hoping this summer isn't a wash out.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck on the job search, my husband will be looking soon it is very scary and I do hope you find something very soon!
Enjoy all your new reads Bea
Have a great week
Good luck to your husband!
DeleteI hope the summer won't be a washout too. I know we need the rain but at night, after bedtime, would be good. :D
Thanks for visiting!
Nice haul. These are new to me but seem interesting. Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
IFB Stack!
Thanks, you too!
DeleteDon't you just love those ebook bargains? I got a couple this week too. Come see what I got this week at Inside of a Dog and Ms. Martin Teaches Media. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, ebook bargains are great. :)
DeleteGood luck on your job search, change is scary but it could also be exciting. I hope you find something that will help you grow :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteI had the same icky weather, too. A great week to get things done, huh?

Oh wow - a job change at any point is scary IMO, so after 20 years I know it must be. Good luck, I hope you find what you need AND want (since that's not always the same thing).
ReplyDeleteWow, 20 years in one place is amazing! It's not often you meet people sticking to one job for that long these days! I wish you best of luck with a new job, Bea. And I'm jealous about Free to Fall - I really want to read this! :) Have a lovely week, my dear!
ReplyDeleteNice list of books!
ReplyDeleteI know what you are going through as far as the job situation goes. My place closed and I was there for almost 25 years. I'm still looking for another job but the market isn't all that good right now.
Have a great week!
Wow, I imagine it would be a little scary to leave after that long, You got some great books. I am off to see Free To Fall is. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhew that's a long time in one place. Good luck with the job hunting! And hope the testing went well :)
ReplyDeleteWe had Spring-like weather and it was nice. :) *fingers crossed* you'll find the perfect job. My hubby just 'celebrated' his 20th year. We were saying, nowadays most people don't end up staying with a company that many years. Or like my dad who was at Goodyear 43 years. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI think the online Christian daters were looking for threesomes. lol. Good luck on looking for a new job. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteGreat new reads, Bea. And what a great bargain you got on the Laura Kaye series!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. Have a great week with hopefully better weather.
Bea, I wish you luck on your job search, and will pray for just the right thing to come along. Meanwhile, I hope you have a chance to enjoy some of those tempting-looking books you picked up this week! The Melanie Adair looks like a nice summer read.
ReplyDeleteEast of Ecstacy sounds great and hope you enjoy. Happy Reading and Weekend!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your pursuit for a new job. Happy reading and I hope you have a great week.
