This Week in Reading - February 9

 


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:

 
All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffall - I bought myself a 3 month Shelf Subscription from The Bookshelf in Thomasville, GA.  This was January's pick with Olivia's subscription and I'm really curious about it.  (Purchased)

The Brightest Star in Paris by Diana Biller - I loved a previous book by this author and then someone on Reddit posted a collection of gorgeous winter and ballerina pictures and asked for book requests with a similar vibe.  Several people mentioned this one and it seemed to good to pass up.  (Purchased)

Currently:


Reading:  The Dressmakers of London by Julia Kelly and The Thirteen Problems by Agatha Christie

ListeningThe Party Line by Carolyn Brown


This week was way more eventful than I wanted it to be.  At the beginning of the week I managed to get my finger tangled in a long line during some dog training and managed to break it.  Luckily, I missed the joints and the tendons are intact but the finger is "unstable" and "fragmented" so I'm having surgery on Monday to put it back together.  I'm not looking forward to it but apparently if you must break a finger the index finger on your non-dominant hand is the way to go.  

On a positive note I'm going to go see the musical Six tonight and I'm really looking forward to it.  

Ways This Week Was Cozy:
It was a bit more difficult this week with the added in drama of doctors appointments and surgery scheduling and all that.  I did have some forced rest thinks to some meds and pain and enjoyed getting caught up on my YouTube watching.  I also bought myself a cupcake from my favorite local bakery so that helped!  I'm not sure how cozy next week will be either.

Have a great week and happy reading!

  2. I've got the Julia Kelly book on my Goodreads list and I have a hold on it (preordered) from the library. All the Water in the World sounds intense.

    Wow, that is an unfortunate accident and I sure hope your recovery is rapid. I'm sorry to hear this. A bakery treat is indeed needed!

  4. All the Water in the World sounds good. I hope you enjoy the book subscription. My local indie bookstore offers one I have considered signing up for. I am so sorry to hear about your finger. I hope the surgery tomorrow goes well! Enjoy the musical! I've been wanting to see Six, but we missed it when it was in L.A. I hope you have a good week.
