This Week in Reading - February 2

 


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:


Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts - I'm so excited about this one!  I love her standalones and this one looks like quite the fast-paced read.  (Publisher)

Currently:


Reading:  The Wagtail Murder Club by Krista Davis and Murder in the Mystery Suite by Ellery Adams

ListeningThe Copenhagen Connection by Elizabeth Peters

Last week we went up to Memphis to the main St. Jude campus for Will to have his 2 year post treatment scans.  Everything came back great and his growth is sky-rocketing.  He is now officially taller than me and I swear every time I blink he's a little bit taller.  This week had a lot going on and because of that and recovering from the Memphis trip which always takes a lot out of all of us I have been wiped out.  It hasn't helped that I'm feeling kind of meh about everything I'm reading right now.   I don't know if it's my mood or if the books themselves just aren't quite working for me.   I like them all but am just not feeling excited about any of them. 

What I did to make get some cozy in this week:  I made sure to get some extra rest which helped.  Also, on Saturday I went to lunch with a friend and we had such a good time.  Then afterwards Jason and I went to dinner and to see the theater production of The Girl on the Train which was really good.  

Have a great week and happy reading!

  4. So happy that Will's scans went well. I don't wonder that you have been tired. Glad you taking care of yourself and reading what works for right now. Always thinking about you guys. I see you are listening to The Copenhagen Connection. It has been years and years since I read that one. As I am planning lots of rereading this year I've been thinking about visiting some of those really long-ago-read books. Might do that one again. Take care!

  5. Yay Will! I'm so glad his scans are clear and he's doing so well.

    I know what you mean about feeling meh. It's been hard to get caught up in books the last few weeks... although my audiobook rereads of the Lady Astronaut books were wonderful. I hope you feel more energetic this week, and find some books that spark joy for you.

  6. I want to read Hidden Nature. So glad to hear that things are going well for Will. Trips can be fun but also exhausting. It's been a rough month I think and I've been more moody than usual with reading. But I had some great reads.

  8. That is fantastic news about Will! That must be such an odd feeling for mom's when their kids grow taller than them.

  12. Yes for a great appointment!!!

    Ugh, I was going through that too with reading! I decided to go completely nuts and read a genre I rarely read, romance. And I stayed up "late" reading last night!

    Have a great week Katherine!
