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:
The Guest Cottage by Lori Foster (Publisher) - I picked this one up on a whim. The premise looks wonderful, and I love the cover.
Currently:
Reading: A Death in Diamonds by S.J. Bennett and Long Time Gone by Charlie Donlea
Listening: Life and Other Inconveniences by Kristan Higgins
Slow Read: Still reading The Comfort Food Diaries by Emily Nunn. I'm glad I'm reading it in small doses as I'm finding it interesting but the narrator is not someone I'd like to spend a lot of time with.
How I made this week a little cozy - One of my goals for the year is to get through all my cookbooks so I've been picking a few everyday and flipping through them while watching an episode of Who Do You Think You Are (a genealogy show that has a number of its episodes on YouTube - the UK ones are my favorite) and drinking either coffee or herbal tea. On Thursday while Will had climbing lessons I went to a nearby French/Japanese bakery and had a Yuzu pastry and a lemonade matcha and it was delightful.
This week was back to the real world for me. Dog classes started both for the ones I teach and for the ones I attend. I'm excited by the progress that Rover and I are making in class and I'm excited to start working with a new group of people and their pups. We also had snow on Friday. It's mostly a slushy mess today and hopefully will all go away in the next few days. Friday it was really pretty but I'm glad I don't live where snow is a regular occurrence!
How is your week going? Have agreat week and happy reading!
I hope the dog classes go well! I imagine it can be quite fun but also challenging at times with all those different personalities (both humans and dogs). A Death in Diamonds and Long Time Gone both sound good. I hope you are enjoying them! Have a great week, Katherine!
ReplyDeleteI love the cozy things you did last week. I've been trying to be more mindful and take more little moments of self care like that, too, but I've been running really tired which makes everything hard. I love the cover of The Guest Cottage! And good luck with all your dog training classes! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool you work with dogs. My daughter does most of the training for Lulu. But with her and the neighbor dogs, they all seem to know I am the leader of the pack. lol Lulu hates the snow and I prefer to garden so we also are glad we don't get it every year. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
It's good to get back to a routine after the holidays. I'm hoping to cook my way through one of my cookbooks this winter... just need to decide which one. Your dog classes sound rewarding and fun!
ReplyDeleteSeems like snow fell in a lot of places in the USA that don't usually get it. Ah your little forays out sound very cozy. I want to listen to a K Higgins book, it will be a reread but I look forward to it at some time. The Audible Plus sort of sucks me in to all the choices.
ReplyDeleteI love your 'cozy' paragraph and telling about those things you are doing to make your life better. Snow - yes, pretty for a bit and then a major pain for those of us not used to it. Right? Hope this new week goes well!
ReplyDeleteThose books look so good. I hope you enjoy them. Have a great week!
