The Sunday Post is hosted by the wonderful Kimba, the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news, recap the past week, take a look ahead, and showcase our new treasures—I mean books!
My Week
Well, I’m still buried in indexing projects, trying to finish one this weekend so I can move on to the next (due next week.) Eep. Don’t expect to see me around the internet much for a week or two. I’ll resurface sometime during Thanksgiving week.

What I’m Reading/Watching
Reading: I finished reading Someone to Wed (Mary Balogh; ARC), reread an older Jayne Castle title, Orchid (don’t bother), and started in on my HoHoHo Readathon books. So far I’ve finished Holiday Wishes (Jill Shalvis; ARC) (review) and started the anthology A Christmas to Remember (ARC), which contains two stories I’ve read before. I’m still reading Terminal Alliance (Jim C. Hines; ARC.)
Listening to: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I’m a little past the Sorting.
Watching: Not much, due to my work load. We did squeezed in another episode of Star Trek: Discovery, but we’re still an episode or two behind.

Thank you, Laura! Not quite sure when I’ll get to come up for air, but hopefully by Thanksgiving. 🙂

You sound even more busy than me, Lark! November is a stressful month for us teachers here in Switzerland, too…
I hope you’re enjoying Holiday Wishes.
Have a productive week ahead 🙂

Good luck with the indexing!

I spent last night watching holiday Hallmark films, which is fun. I like the Christmas Hallmark films the best. 🙂 Good on you for reading one Readathon book already! I just got started today and I’m about halfway through. I don’t know if I’ll get more than one read or not but we’ll see!

Sounds like you’re still plenty busy. Hope you get a break soon! Nice job on keeping your readathon goal realistic. 🙂 I remember Little Witch from when I was a little girl. So nostalgic. Hope you have a good week!

Good luck with your projects! I am feeling inundated myself.

Sounds like things are crazy busy! Hopefully you’ll have some downtime once these two projects are dealt with? The Mary Balogh looks good and Jill Shalvis and RaeAnne Thayne are always wins. I’ve got all three of these on my list but I’ll skip Orchid! Have a great week!
