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 are about sharing the print
and digital books received and/or posts and events on the blog.
I had orientation for my new job last week. Now I'm in a holding pattern while I wait for some medical records, required by the state, from my doctor. I can't start in the classroom until I have that documentation, so frustrating. I did have another great week with books and a friend and I are hitting up the library used book sale this afternoon. A new editing project came in so that's my focus right now. Weather-wise, we had so much rain that it felt like March and not October.

Review
I've already read Kissin' Hell and All I Want for Christmas is You. *happy sigh* As always, Jessica made me cry. Darn that woman; she writes such powerful, wrenching stories.
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.
Paper work sucks. Glad you have been enjoying yourself. We have finally dried out. Enjoy Spirited. Hope your week is spectacular Bea.
ReplyDeleteLove those search terms, there are just some funny stuff that people search for. Hope you have a great week Bea!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new job! Waiting for things to come in is so frustrating. Glad you are enjoying the time while you wait.
ReplyDeleteSuperstition looks good! And I loved The Wednesday Daughters. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Oh loved Spirited. She's a very nice lady too :) Hope yall found some good deals at the library sale :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good batch from the library. Good luck with the job, and enjoy the reading while you wait. :)
ReplyDeleteWe've had a little rain too but not as much as you guys, sounds like. Hope that weather straightens itself out, and have a good week.
Hope things get moving on your new job.
ReplyDeleteNice set of wins. I really enjoyed Spirited, but I've never read any of the others you've got there. Nice variety though.
Just popping in after seeing Anna at Herding Cats shout out. Love the friendly atmosphere of our site, Bridget!
I have to agree, that's frustrating. Anyway, have a good a week ahead. PS. Lovely covers :)

Good Luck with the New Job. Paper work sucks and waiting sucks even more! Today we broke down and turned on the heat because it's suppose to be 58 today and in the 30's tonight...THE 30'S!!!! I won't lie I love the chilly weather, it's good for cuddling...with a book ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Bea and Happy Reading!!!
I'm gonna whip out the {{{posivibes}}} for quick paperwork delivery. *scrunches up face, looking constipated* Oops. Maybe I better ease up on that. We had much rain this past week also, but Friday finally started a string of nice days. Yay! Excellent book haul. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSpirited looks really good. Enjoy your reading this week.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul, Bea. The cover for Superstition is having a hypnotic effect on me...LOL.
ReplyDeleteMy recap: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2014/10/weekly-book-recap-86.html
Awesome haul of books, BEA. Jessica Scott is an amazing writer and I hope you love all of your new books. Congrats on your wins.
