Another week has flown by, and here is some of what I did this week:
- Saw a new doctor for a routine physical and all is well (WHEW) Blood pressure 106/72 (no stress here for the time being I guess)
- Had family over for dinner on Thursday evening which is always fun
- Went to a Friends of the Library Meeting (we made $3,300 at our book sale a few weeks ago)
- Went to a library book sale in Connecticut with my son. All books were 50 cents or $1.00, and for $21.00 got some great finds. He got a lot of books he was pleased with as well.
- We picked up some custom made bar stools yesterday that we ordered and stopped at a farmers market in a very quaint town along the way (got a great hanging basket--cat seemed to enjoy chewing on it anyways). Oh and of course I had to check out a great INDIE Book store and buy a book bag to support the store LOL
- Read/listened to (5) books; reviewed (3) so far.
Received (5) books for review this week:- Homer's Odyssey
; Cooper
- Dragon House
; John Shors
- The Chosen One
; Carol Lynch
- Broken: A Love Story

Now if that isn't enough for one week, I still am addicted to the library and these found their way home with me yesterday:
- Irreplaceable
; Steven Lovely (audio book)
- BoneMan's Daughters
; Ted Dekker ( audio book)
- Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story
; Carolyn Turgeon
- The Servants' Quarters
; Lynn Freed
- Water Dogs: A Novel
; Lewis Robinson
So needless to say, I am a bit overwhelmed, and I have no one to blame but myself. Today we are going to my son's baseball game. He is pitching in the over 30 league he plays in. Should be fun. It's sunny and suppose to be 80 degrees today, so all is good here today. Enjoy your day everyone!
I really enjoyed Cinderella, hope you find time to read it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the good physical!
ReplyDeleteOh I know what you mean about feeling overwhelmed. I am too and it's my own fault.
I love library booksales! I'm glad you were able to find some fun books.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was scanning my bookshelves this morning, I realized that I have two books with the title BROKEN. And now here you are, listing another one. Maybe that is a sign. LOL
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good week. You know I always say one can never have too many books. lol. Have a good time at the game.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a busy week, Diane. Enjoy our new books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat darn library. Even having tons of TBR books on my bookshelf, that library still calls me in and forces me to take books home. Oh, and don't get me started on the sales it offers. But I can't imagine life without the library. Scary.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous you got The Chosen One. I've heard great things about it! Godmother also looks good.
ReplyDeleteYay for library sales! I haven't been to one in a while. I've got The Chosen One on my review pile too and can't wait to get to it. Have fun with your new books.
ReplyDeleteOh and yay also for a good doctor's visit :)
A few of these look excellent! I checked out A Servant's Quarters and think I am going to be putting it on my wish list. Great Haul!
