All of these memes are about sharing the print

Friday we celebrated Independence Day here in the US. I celebrated with some friends and got a three day weekend out of the holiday plus I'm on vacation this week. My plans - doctor appointments, job hunting, one job interview so far, and an appointment to get my a/c looked at it. Not exciting, but I should get a lot done. I also have ambitious reading plans.

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.
Oh, your week ahead does sound productive. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAnd enjoy your haul. Love the cover of First Grave on the Right. And thanks for visiting my blog.
Oh I love the Charley Davidson series. Enjoy your vacation and I hope everything goes well Bea. Hopefully your temps are cooler.

ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July, Bea! I'm glad you had a nice time and wish you luck with job hunting and everything else. You've got 1st Charlie book?! YAY!!! Enjoy all!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good 4th of July - the American celebrations for independence are so much cooler than the Finnish way.
ReplyDeleteHave a good and seemingly productive week next week! :)
Good luck with job hunting! I really hope you'll have luck. You've got some really interesting books this week and I really hope you'll enjoy them. :)

Nice trio of reads, Bea! Good luck with the job search and interviews. Enjoy your vacation time and thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteAhh i keep seeing First Grave on The Right pop up everywhere i'm going to have to give it a try sometime!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's nice to have a "vacation" that you can get all those things done. Takes a lot off your list of things to do and you can relax in the process without having to run around.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week Bea!!! Happy Reading
Good luck in your reading plans! :) And I hope your extended vacation is fun as well as productive! Have a great week ahead.

I'm perplexed about the frustrated search term. It sounds like they're answering their own question so why are they searching? Those are always entertaining though! First Grave on the Right looks good! I've heard some great things about the series so I'll definitely have to give it a try. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the job interview!
ReplyDeleteFirst Grave on the Right looks really good. Have a great week!
Sometimes those are the best vacations! Hope yuo get a lot done and squeeze in some extra reading!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! First Grave! <3 Hope you LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteArt Whisperer sounds like it will be good. Hope you enjoy and have a great coming week.
ReplyDeleteI hope you've been enjoying your 3-day weekend despite all the things you had to get done. As Michelle says, it gets stuff off your list! I hope you were able to squeeze in some reading time, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou always have such great search terms! And great job with keeping the book influx down - I know you've been working on that. (Me too!)
Good luck with your job hunt!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you had a great 4th Bridget! Hope this week is a good one for ya all the way around :)
ReplyDeleteYou've got a busy week ahead! Good luck on the job search.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the new books and good luck with the job hunting.
ReplyDeleteHope you've had a wonderful weekend. Good luck with the job interview and I hope you have a great week.
