This Week in Reading - June 8th

 


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 Secret Christmas Library by Jenny Colgan - Colgan's books are either big wins or DNFs for me so I am a little nervous about this one.  However, the cover really caught my eye and the blurb sounds amazing.  (Publisher)

Currently:


Reading:  Knave of Diamonds by Laurie R. King and A Poisoned Season by Tasha Alexander

Listening:  I'm doing a relisten of Inheritance by Nora Roberts and am loving it.

It was a pretty busy and chaotic week but on Friday I realized the only thing I had on my schedule was a massage so I decided to take a reading day.   I've started getting massages every few weeks to help with migraines and it's made such a difference.  I bought a few of my favorite treats for meals (the Sister Schubert cinnamon rolls from the freezer section are amazing!) and was able to set a bit of a schedule and spend the whole day with the exception of massage time reading.  It was fantastic and so relaxing!  I'm definitely going to plan those into my schedule hopefully once a month.  

I hope you have a great week and happy reading!

  1. Massages sound so good! I usually take nature walks in the parks and forest bathe, immerse self in the green of the woods. But the outside air quality has deteriorated and may all summer long due to the Canadian wildfires smoke blowing this way. Oh, well. Back to reading!

  2. I think your idea about a massage/reading day is great! So glad that it worked well for you. Haven't tried the Sister Schubert cinnamon rolls, but I have gotten the regular rolls. They are good!

  5. You are wise to schedule down time, I think. It's great that the massages are working on helping your migraines.

  6. Oh I must look up that Jenny Colgan book, I generally like them on audio. Your massage and reading day sounds like just what you needed. Yes more into your calendar is a good idea.
