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; and Bought Borrowed and Bagged, hosted by TalkSupe. All of these memes are about sharing the print
and digital books received and/or posts and events on the blog.
Spring is coming! Wednesday it was in the 50s here. I had my windows open for over 24 hours until the temps dropped back into the 20s. The cats and I loved it. I had another busy week at school and it looks as if I'll be busy there for the forseeable future. The downside to that is less time for visiting other blogs. I'll try to get around but it might take me awhile. Also, I spent waaaaay too much time in one preschool room last week; their weather song is stuck in my head and won't go away!

for visiting and happy reading! :)
I've been liking the weather too. So nice to open up the windows :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to do it every day. Well, until pollen season starts and I close them again.
DeleteIt's finally getting a little bit warmer, which is nice. I hope you love all your new books.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
Thanks Grace. :)
DeleteIt has actually been kind of HOT here, in the 80s...which I love. So much better than the triple digits that lie ahead, probably as early as April or May.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week....I am curious about The Gemini Effect.
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Triple digits is definitely too hot. Right about now 80s would probably feel like high summer. :D
DeleteI have a feeling I will regret passing up on the 5th gospel...
ReplyDeleteMaybe it will be at your library.
DeleteOh I dislike when I get a kids song stuck in my head too. It will drive me crazy sometimes, but that is the joy of working/having kids. ^_^
ReplyDeleteGreat book haul. I'm very interested in Forged in Ash. Have a great week Bea!
Before you read Forged In Ash, read the first book, Forged in Fire. Getting a song stuck in your head is one of the joys of working with kids, happily there are some better joys.:D
DeleteI got The Gemini Effect too! I also got Younger from Kindle daily deals, they both looked really interesting. It sounds like our weather was similar. Are you in Connecticut too, or is that just a weird coincidence? Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteMassachusetts, so we're neighbors.:)
ReplyDeleteLOL..to songs like that stuck in your head..between that and the cats you must want to lock yourself in your room.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, there are definitely days when I want to lock myself away. :D
DeleteSpell Weaver sounds interesting. Hope you enjoy and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brandi, you too. :)
DeleteNice haul, Bea. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteThanks Catherine, you too!
DeleteOur weather has been decent too although they are now saying the temps will drop. Most of our snow is finally gone, though.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week!
Oh yay for most of your snow being gone!
DeleteI can't wait until the weather is warm enough to open windows! But at least all the snow melted!!
ReplyDeletePS. I can't keep my eyes off that cover on Spell Weaver!
Hee hee It IS a mesmerizing cover :P
DeleteUh ho, I think I'll borrow Spell weaver for my Lusting for cover meme soon if you don't mind ^^ Enjoy your complete Shakespeare ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, great idea!
DeleteWarm weather..yay!! We have had warm weather here as well. :) Looks like you got some great books! Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteStormi
Yup, things are cooling down her in Aus, heading into winter sports season! Yay!
ReplyDeleteNaomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
Burning for You looks good! I'm a sucker for covers like that and fireman romances! Hope you have a good week, Bea!
ReplyDeleteYay for spring! It was so sunny, warm, and gorgeous yesterday that one of my young chorus members arrived in shorts.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that you are getting a taste of Spring. Let's hope it isnt a trick and that another blizzard is on the way. I hope you have flowers and sunshine all week.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a tiny taste of spring before the cold weather settled back in. It's been very warm where I live--90F this weekend. It was tempting to turn on the air conditioner, but we fought the urge.
ReplyDeleteYou've listed some tempting books. I'm curious about Spell Weaver and Bayou Magic.
Have a great week!
