This Week in Reading - November 27

I'm linking up with the Sunday Post hosted by the amazing Caffeinated Book Reviewer

I hope everyone had a fantastic week and a wonderful Thanksgiving.  This week hasn't gone quite as expected but has ended up being okay.

Last Saturday my Grandfather who I have mentioned several times fell and broke 2 vertebrae in his neck.  Thankfully I was able to head down there to help out and have been there since then and it looks like I'll be here at least this coming work and possibly the week after.  He's doing very well though his mobility is a bit limited and at 92 any period of immobility is concerning.  However, his stability is improving rapidly and he's having an easier time getting around every day.

I'll be trying to visit you guys as best I can but my online time is severely limited right now.  I am still getting some reading done and hopefully will keep posts going up regularly.

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone as soon as I get back and see what everyone is reading!  Check out the sidebar to see what's going on here.  I had a Rambling from the Stacks about books that are good but just don't work for you on Monday and Tuesday I posted the Top Ten Books I'm Grateful For on Tuesday and the newest book by one of my favorite historical romance author on Wednesday.

Have a fantastic week and happy reading!

  14. I hope he recovers quickly, 92, god bless him! It seems to be the week of falls. My uncle fell this week and broke his hip and my dad fell on Friday but landed in the grass so no damage done.
    Sending you good vibes and lots of hugs!

    Have a great week, Katherine! Happy Reading! ox
