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 Book Hater's Book Club by Gretchen Anthony- I can never resist a book that mentions book clubs or libraries or book stores. This sounded interesting and I love the concept of there being a book to turn anyone into a reader. (Publisher)
Currently:
Listening: Castle Shade by Laurie R. King
This has been a bit of a crazy weekend with a somewhat chaotic week leading up to it. Saturday was Will's Make a Wish day! Because of his leukemia diagnosis he became eligible for a Make a Wish and after much discussion (I was pushing hard for a few different trip ideas) he chose a room makeover! Prior to his diagnosis he had had a loft bed but when we came back from Memphis he was no longer able to navigate the stairs to get to it or crouch to get into it. We had moved his mattress to the floor but everything was temporary looking and disorganized. Because, he's a bit older he didn't really pick a theme (though cats are prominent as you can see by the bedspread in the pic below) but he got this really fun bed and an amazing gaming chair and 3 bookcases to hold all of his stuffed animals and some other fun stuff.
I'll post more pictures next week once everything is the way he wants it. The people who came up from Make a Wish to get everything set up were super nice and really made the experience even better for him. He's so excited to have his room all set up and comfortable for him now. The only issue is all the bits of stuff that were in his room that he doesn't really want anymore but doesn't want to get rid of that are now taking up most of the floor space in my office!
Have a great week and happy reading!
Oh that is so cool! Congrats and the cat theme is neat. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you guys have an amazing week :)
Awesome bed! What a great idea for a wish! My Sunday Post: https://bonniereadsandwrites.wordpress.com/2022/07/24/sunday-post-pass-the-peppers/
ReplyDeleteI think this is incredible for your son. A little blessing amidst his ordeal. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant! Those two books look good. I like a book about books and want to try and read more of them!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

Will shall really enjoy the makeover for his room, I bet. I look forward to seeing the room when he has everything just like he wants it.
ReplyDeleteI've just added The Book Haters' Book Club to my list.
That looks like a beautiful set up for will, I like the bed and all the surrounding space along wall for his stuff. Make a Wish, Shriners and St. Jude are such wonderful organizations.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool bed!! Looks like Will is already enjoying his new set up. That's so awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!! What a cool choice!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Book Haters Club sounds really good!
Oh cool! That is a very neat bed and I bet he is loving his new room decor!
ReplyDeleteKids can be so unpredictable, but I'm glad he got something that makes him happy. And it lasts longer than a trip :) I also tend to like books about books so the Book Haters is now on my list....

I'm glad he was able to have a wish that gives him a comfortable and fun room. That's got to feel good for him and you!
ReplyDeleteThe premise for The Book Haters' Club sounds fun. I'll be keeping an eye out for your review. 📚
ReplyDeleteWill's new bed looks fabulous! The cat theme is a great choice. 😻 Would any of his old things be useful in his classroom? 🤔
There's a new video game out called Stray, where you play as a cat. I've been following the developers' page on Facebook for a few years. I haven't played it yet, so I don't know how emotional it might be, I do know the cat can fall off a cliff, but I don't think he dies. Someone in the game play group was talking about her kids playing it, and it made me think of Will. I'm going to feature it on my Furs-Day Feature post this Thursday if you want to see some information. 🐈
Have a wonderful week. 🌞
I've been waiting for the game to come out and can't wait to try it!
DeleteThat's awesome he has his space set up now. I hope you will have a more relaxing week ahead; it's too hot to get too crazy.

Well, I must say I'm shocked that Will didn't choose a trip of some sort (Disneyland!!!!) but if he's a child that likes to read and game and do other indoorsy-type stuff, then a room makeover is a PERFECT choice. If we're going to spend a lot of time in our personal space then we need it to be comfortable and functional! It looks great and hopefully he can find space for or get rid of some of the stuff that is now in YOUR space. Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to get a room makeover, and that's a great bed! And I love the cat bedspread.
ReplyDeleteStay cool this week, and may it be a calmer and more restful one.
Oh, how fun for Will! :D I'm so glad he was able to have a room makeover. His bed looks awesome! I hope he's still improving. I hope you have a great week!
