It's Sunday Post time! This is hosted by the awesome Caffeinated Book Reviewer and gives us all a chance to recap our week.
What I Got:
Too Close to Breathe by Olivia Kiernan - A suicide that isn't a suicide and a victim that isn't who she seems. I love lots of twisty secrets and this one is set in Dublin which makes me extra intrigued! (Publisher)
Ain't She a Peach by Molly Harper - I really enjoyed the first book (Sweet Tea and Sympathy in this series) and I'm super excited to see Frankie as the main character in this one. (NetGalley)
Heaven Adjacent by Catherine Ryan Hyde - I'm a big fan of characters who are making big changes in their life and this is an author I've been wanting to read for ages. (Publicist)
It Takes a Coven by Carol J. Perry - I hadn't seen this on NetGalley but luckily I saw it mentioned over at Literary Feline and ran over and snapped it up. This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series! (NetGalley)
Currently:
Reading: The Wishing Spell by Chris Colfer and Whisper of Bones by Ellen Hart
Listening: I'm about to start I Found You by Lisa Jewell
Watching: We're still enjoying Top Chef and I've been binging on true crime shows. I'm a bit paranoid now but I've been enjoying them!
Off the Blog:
This was a fairly quiet week. The Tornado had Monday off for President's Day which was nice. He has a Cub Scout banquet coming up and there is a competition for best dessert table - each group has their own. Somehow this ended up with me making Rice Krispie treats that look like cheese. I've actually made good progress and am going to do a wheel of cheese with little wedges of cheese. I'm going to use fondant to cover the cereal for the wedge and dying the wedges yellow. On the downside I've had to make a few trial batches which means I've had so many Rice Krispie treats that I don't think I ever want to any again!
I'm still recovering from whatever bug I had last week. I'm feeling a lot better but my energy level is crazy low. It's really annoying as I have so much I need to get done! I've been trying to not overdo it so I'm hoping this goes away.

I hope you can recover soon! I think it's just the winter acting on you.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week :)
Hope that you feel better soon. Your books look great!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry your energy is still not there. Sounds like you've got a lot going on. The Rice Krispy 'cheese' wheel sounds pretty clever. But I can understand that you're kind of sick of those. LOL
ReplyDeleteToo Close to Breathe looks good. Enjoy your books!
Hope you feel better soon. That's an unusual request for a dessert, but hey, they're kids, they'll eat almost anything sweet :)
ReplyDeleteToo Close to Breathe has me excited. I love mysteries/suspense set in Ireland so I think I'm adding this one. Thanks for the rec!
My son learned to make Rice Krispie Treats in his Life Skills class, so I am happy that now I don't have to make them anymore. The cheese sounds cute. You could even indent them to make it look like Swiss Cheese and leave the color as is. :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are feeling a little better. The Low energy after being sick is no fun! I hope you feel better soon.
Have a great week, Katherine! Happy Reading! ox
I'll gladly take some rice krispie treats off your hands, ha ha. I love them, but contrary to popular belief, I think the messiness of making them overrules the "easy". XD
ReplyDeleteThe fatigue hangs around for a long time from that flu. I am still tiring out quickly even though I have had zero symptoms for a couple of weeks. I am getting better with it though, so hang in there. Have a wonderful and healthier week. :)
Rice Krispies treats looking like cheese? The things we mums and grans end up doing... I hope you continue to feel a lot better, so your energy returns. In the meantime, try to take it easy, Katherine:))
ReplyDeleteDid you snap a picture of the treats looking like cheese cause I would so like to see that...lol. :) I am getting It Takes a Coven in audio form to review, love that series too! Too Close to Breathe looks good so I had to go and check it out! You enabler you! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading!

I noticed the new Molly Harper book on NG, my finger hovered but I didn't tap - so far any way! Hope you are fully fit soon.
ReplyDeleteTwists and turns and Dublin, that's a thumbs up from me!
ReplyDeleteRonnie @ Paradise Found
Glad your feeling better! I do want to see pics of your rice krispy treats cheese. That sounds like fun, but LOL on not wanting to see those ever again.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of true crime shows, I've been into watching Reelz. About celebrities' deaths and serial killers. I'm hooked.
Hope you have a great week! ~Aleen
I've read and enjoyed Whisper of Bones so I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you finish! I've got a copy of Too Close To Breathe as well and I'm really looking forward to it. I hope you enjoy all of your new books! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're really busy with all your rice krispie treats. The cheese sounds like a great idea. I'm glad you're recovering. Take care of yourself. I hope you have a great week, Katherine. I'm going to check out some of your books.
ReplyDeleteYour idea for the dessert challenge sounds fun. Pls post a pic. I hope he gets a prize and pls do take care of yourself. The flu is brutal this year.
ReplyDeleteWheel of Cheese sounds interesting, I like baking and krispy treats. It's good that you feeling better and maybe this week you'll have more energy to do more. Too Close to Breathe sounds interesting and I'll have to check that one out. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the cheese wheel rice krispie treat. I have trouble just getting the squares cut and out of the pan. LOL Glad to hear you are recovering and hope your energy returns too.

I loved Rice Krispie treats as a kid, but I don’t think I’ve eaten any as an adult. I should make some. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I have some of Molly Harper's books I need to read soon. The rice krispie treats is a fun idea. I love eating them but I have a hard time making them. I'm too slow so they cool down in weird shapes lol. I hope you are feeling better and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou should post a photo of the final result of the rice krispie treats cheese you make. I would love to see it. You picked up a lot of great books this week. I really want to read the Molly Harper series. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteRice Krispie treats of cheese sounds like a fairly big task for Cub Scouts. That is quite a bit of time and effort! I hope you kick whatever it is that is still lingering. Worse comes, get yourself a B12 shot.
ReplyDeleteI loved going to the cub scout functions when Tristan was little. I miss those days sometimes!
ReplyDeleteSo many great books. I really want to read Claws for Concern. I'm about to start The French Girl. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you are feeling better. It’s so hard to be sick when you have children and husbands who need you.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading week!
Oh my gosh, Rice Krispie treats disguised as cheese?! I hope you'll post pictures of the final product!
