This Week in Reading - January 18


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 Summer Share by Jenn McKinlay - I love her books and this one looks really fun. (Publisher)

The Barn Identity by Diane Kelly - This is a series I've really been enjoying so I can't wait to read the next one. (Publisher)

The Jewel of the Isle by Kerry Rea - I don't know why this one was in my Books to Buy list but I saw it on ThriftBooks so I bought it.  It looks fun.  (Purchased)

Aunt Dimity and the Duke by Nancy Atherton - This is the 2nd book in the Aunt Dimity series and I'm looking forward to seeing how the series progresses as I know it is very long running. (Purchased)

The Luck Runs Out by Charlotte MacLeod - This is the 2nd book in the Peter Shandy series and I very much enjoyed the first one - and I've really enjoyed everything I've read by this author. (Purchased)

Currently:

Reading:  Monster in the Moonlight by Annelise Ryan and The Golden Hour by Beatriz Williams

Listening: The Dead Sea Cipher by Elizabeth Peters

Slow Read:  And Then They Were Doomed by Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli

Watching: I'm on season 7 of 911 and Season 8 of Death in Paradise and I've been loving the Every Family Has a Secret show on the Ancestry Channel on YouTube.  

This coming week is my least favorite of the year.  We have to take Will back up to St Jude's in Memphis for his yearly blood work and tests.  I'm expecting everything to be absolutely fine as he's grown about 6 inches in the last year and I can't keep the child in shoes (he's wearing a size 13 now).  As well, color and energy are good which are all signs that things are great.  Regardless, I can't quite keep that feeling of dread from sinking in.   I'm bringing some fun rereads to hopefully distract me and we will be eating at our favorite Memphis restaurant a few times.  

Have a great week and happy reading!

  1. Wow, sounds like Will is growing like a weed, size 13, good luck with keeping him in shoes...lol. Everything will be fine but yeah I can see that there will be a sense of dread. Will say a prayer!

  2. If Will is growing and looking good I think that is a very positive thing. Does he have to go for yearly checks for a set number of years? Size 13?! Wow.

    Good reading and positve thoughts to you and your family, Katherine. xo

  6. All those incoming books sound really good. All the best for the tests with Will. I can see why it wouldn't be your favourite week, but as you say he is looking really well.
