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:
Point Last Seen by Christina Dodd - I have been loving romantic suspense lately and this one sounds fantastic! It's been awhile since I've read a good amnesia based suspense. (Publisher)
The Proof is in the Poison by Diane Kelly - I read the first book in this series about a woman who has started a moonshine store in Chattanooga, TN and enjoyed it and am excited to see where the series goes. (Publisher)
Bayou Book Thief by Ellen Byron - So excited about this one! I was so sad when Byron ended the Bayou Mysteries but this start to a new series looks great. (Publisher)
Murder Is No Picnic by Amy Pershing - This is the 3rd book in a cozy series set in Cape Cod which features a disgraced chef and a big clumsy dog. (Publisher)
Dead Men Don't Decorate by Cordy Abbott - I know nothing about this book or this author but it involves an antique store which I can never resist. (Publisher)
Currently:
Reading: Claws for Suspicion by Deborah Blake and The Villa by Nora Roberts
Listening: I just finished Marrying Winterbourne by Lisa Kleypas which I really enjoyed. Since today is the first day of the month my Hoopla borrows start over (my library allows for 5 a month) so I'm trying to decide what to listen to next.
This week has been a bit of a blur. Allergy season has hit super hard here for some reason and I'm about 90% Benadryl at this point so I'm pretty groggy. I have bad allergies at the best of times but this year has knocked me flat.
Will is doing well. His numbers are good and he's definitely had more energy with the calorie boost he's gotten through the feedings through the NG tube. He's feeling pretty good and has we've gotten a lot of school done. My only concern is that one of his immune systems numbers is trending down and we have a trip (our first since the beginning of the pandemic and his diagnosis) planned for later this week. It's through a St Jude affiliate that does a big carnival for cancer patients and their families and it sounds fun. We are really looking forward to it so fingers crossed his numbers don't drop too much and he stays healthy through the week.
Rover is doing great. He got a new toy this week and has been taking it everywhere with him which is pretty cute. We have the last Manners (beginning obedience) class this week. He's not quite ready to move up yet so we will repeat Manners. I need a little more training on consistency and he needs a bit more maturity. We've definitely made a lot of progress but he's still only 6.5 months old so occasionally goes into full puppy mode and considering he's about 60 pounds it can get a bit crazy!
Have a great week and happy reading!
Benadryl knocks me out! And good luck this week! I hope Will's immune numbers stay good.
ReplyDeleteThe Dodd book looks fun! I love that moody cover.
I enjoyed Claws for Suspicion. I hope you do, too.
ReplyDeleteI got the Christina Dodd book too, I enjoy romantic suspense too and reading one that is keeping me glued at the moment. Hope Will be okay and trip goes ahead. Rover looking gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI pray Will's immune numbers stay good so you can all enjoy a trip away. 🙏
ReplyDeleteI just saw the Christina Dodd book on several blogs and I don't think I've ever read her books, but that one looks good to me. It's amazing how fast Rover is growing lately! Despite his large size his breed would make him still quite a puppy so I guess it's a good thing that he needs to be left back in school, lol. I hope your son gets to go to the Carnival. That would definitely be a fun event.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think I’ve read Christina Dodd but I probably have her on my goodreads list. Oh, the grass pollen has been hitting me hard. Sneezing and watery eyes. I wanted to try Zyrtec but there are warnings about liver disease & my numbers have been high so, had to pass.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to the carnival & Will continues to feel great!
And that was my comment as anonymous, forgot to choose the identity thinner! Tina
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, allergies are horrible right now! I have a perscription from the doctor and it helps but still sometimes I get a bad case. Benadryl just makes me feel horrible I can't do it.
ReplyDeleteHope Will's numbers stay good so you guys can go to the carnival!!
Have a great week and happy reading!

I'm glad Will is doing better. I hope he continues to feel better.
ReplyDeleteYour books all look very good...and Rover is growing so big! Here are my WEEKLY UPDATES
So glad that Will is doing better. Love the photo of Rover, how adorable that he has a new toy!
ReplyDeleteAah just look at all Rover's toys. Lea is turning 13 and she still has a bag of toys and sleeps with a different teddy every night. Hercules is mainly just concerned about his ball!!
ReplyDeleteYou got some great books to read. Have a good week and take care!

I hope Will continues to feel well and his numbers improve. Rover is so big; it's hard to believe he's still a puppy really. Lulu loves her toys. Allergies were different this year. I didn't get the dry eye thing I have the last few years but more scratchy throat and a few sneezes. I take Allegra and have a nasal spray year round because dust and mold are always available. Happy May Day!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Benedryl will knock you out. I hope your allergies get better soon. And I'm so glad Will is doing better. Rover is adorable in that photo, but I imagine 60 pounds of exuberant puppy does get to be a bit much now and then!
ReplyDeleteHow are you enjoying The Villa? I haven't read that one yet.
Have a good week, and I hope Will is up to the trip and that you all have a good time!
Benadryl knocks me out, too, and it does seem like allergy season has been especially tough this year. Hope Will's numbers stay stable so you can go on that trip... sounds like it would be so much fun. Rover is just adorable!
ReplyDeleteAllergies are a big issue this year for me as well...not fun! Rover is so huge for his age and love the pics. Glad Will had a pretty good week and fingers crossed it only gets better.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear Will seems to be doing better the best. Well, better than he he was. I hope you and he have a good week.

Allergies are giving a lot of people fits this year. I hope your symptoms ease soon. Yay for Will feeling better! I hope the Dodd book is good! Have a good week!

Love the pic. Glad to hear Will is doing well. I just finished Claws for Suspicion and loved it. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteBoo hiss for the allergies. 😕 I hope they settle down soon. 😔
ReplyDeleteYay for Will feeling better. I'm sending all the good vibes that he's a-okay to go to the carnival. 🎡
Have a wonderful new week. 🌞
I hope Will stays healthy so he can go to the carnival. Sounds fun! And I can totally relate to the training thing - it can be hard to be consistent when you have a lot going on, and it doesn't help when your fluff is a big ole pile of puppy!

It looks like you got quite a few great sounding books, Katherine. I have seen Cordy Abbott's book around and am curious about it. Allergies have hit us hard here too, unfortunately. Hopefully we will see some relief soon. I hope Will is able to go on the trip and you all have a good time. It sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about you allergies. I have been sneezing up a storm lately myself. Bummer that your library only allows 5 borrows a month, I am able to do 10 and never use them all. I am glad to hear that Will is feeling okay and hope that his number stay high enough for the carnival. Rover is just so stinking cute!
