Sunday Post – 1/18/15

January 18, 2015 Sunday Post 16

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

We arrived home in the wee hours of Monday morning. Since then, I’ve been trying to catch up on laundry, unpacking, business odds and ends (got to pay those quarterly estimated taxes when you are self-employed!) and the myriad houskeeping tasks that need doing – as well as working on the blog and reading! I’m sure within a week or two I’ll be in the midst of another index, but for now, I’m enjoying a respite. I hope you’ve all had a good week, too!

      Looks like you commented twice! No worries; I’ve done that, too, when a comment didn’t appear. You should be automatically approved in future. 🙂 Have a great week!

      If you like contemporary romance, she’s very good. Try her Chesapeake Shores novels, and also the Sweet Magnolias books. Thanks for dropping by!

      I enjoyed it, too, but I think her Princess series (Princess of the Midnight Ball and its sequels) were even better. I’ve got some catching up to do with Shannon Hale – I’ve actually read Book of a Thousand Days (which was very good) but need to read her Bayern series. But I liked Book of a Thousand Days enough to want to reread it, someday.

      Thanks, Kimba! You’re the one who convinced me to try her, actually! Your reviews of her were so good, and I seem to remember a conversation in which you suggested I might like her since I’m such a fan of Jayne Ann Krentz. 🙂 (Speaking of which, I enjoyed some downtime today and yesterday, and plowed through a few Jayne Castle “Harmony” titles – rereads, of course, since I’ve read them all before.)

      Thanks, Bea! I’ve got Dogwood Hill written and scheduled already, but I need to finish writing the other review – it’s sketched out but not yet complete. I meant to do it today, but Mr. Bookwyrm was working on my computer, fixing some issues I was having with it. (I love having my own IT guy in the house!)

      Oh, good to know! I have some other fantasy books that need to come first, both ARCs and books I promised myself I’d read this year (like The Ocean at the End of the Lane and The Slow Regard of Silent Things), but I’ll definitely keep your recommendation in mind. Thanks for stopping by!

    • Lark_Bookwyrm

      I agree – I came home with lots of laundry despite doing endless loads while we were away! As for those two books, I enjoyed both, so I hope you do, too!
