The Sunday Post is hosted by the wonderful Kimberly, 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!
Last Week
Rehearsals start next Sunday for the spring concert, so I’ve been busy with preparations for that. And I have an indexing project, so there’s plenty to do. In fact, this coming week looks so packed that I may not be able to get any reviews written… but I posted three since last Sunday, which felt good.
I ordered a blending board (for fiber prep) and it arrived on Wednesday. I couldn’t resist playing with it a little bit, and made my first rolags. I’ll show you the results when I spin these up. Neither colorway will make very much yarn; I was working with leftover scraps of fiber, just to learn gain experience. (If you want to see how to use a blending board, here’s a quick YouTube video — it’s about 2 minutes long.)

What I’m Reading/Watching
Reading: I read Tucker (ARC). I reread Nora Roberts’s Guardians Trilogy for the 4th time: Stars of Fortune (reviewed in 2017), Bay of Sighs, and Island of Glass. I started both A Murderous Relation (ARC) and To Ride Pegasus (a reread.) And I’m still slowly working my way through Decluttering at the Speed of Life (Dana K. White, not pictured.) (Click titles for Goodreads or my review.)
Listening: I had been listening to Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal, but I didn’t listen to it at all this week. Or anything else, for that matter.
Watching: Picard (season 1) and Warehouse 13 (season 3.)

For Review or Review Consideration
Many thanks to William Morrow and Berkley! Click to see on Goodreads: The Summer Deal; Close Up
Purchased (Kindle, print, or audio)
Click to see on Goodreads, or my review:
- Rise of Magicks — used hardcover. I spotted this at the library bookstore, and grabbed it. It’s in pristine condition and looks brand-new, though I’m sure it’s been read once.
- Angel in a Devil’s Arms — Kindle. I’ve really enjoyed this series, so even though I read the ARC (belated review to come), I’m likely to reread it. So when it went on sale, I bought it.
- Grave Peril (Dresden Files) — Kindle

Nora Roberts is definitely an author I have reread many times.. (been a while now though).. and you also have Lisa Kleypas and Sabrina Jeffries! Which means I am going to check out the other books you have mentioned as well 🙂

Looks like some great books coming up! Happy March!
Bea's Book Nook
Ooo, those rolled bits of yarn remind me of worms or caterpillars. Cool. To Ride Pegasus, I haven’t read that in years. My paperback (several decades old) has a very different cover; I almost didn’t recognize yours at first. Close Up looks good, enjoy! Good luck with the concert rehearsal and preparations.

Busy but good busy. I am a fan of Nora Roberts and just finished Rise of Magicks on audio and enjoyed it. I LOVE Harry Dresden but have them all on audio because Spike! Have an amazing week and enjoy your new reads – they look great!

I reread that Nora Roberts series last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think the first book is my favorite. The Jill Shalvis and the Amanda Quick both look so good! Have a great week!

You may have been busy, but you’ve still read a lot.
I’m curious to see the results of your rolags.
Wishing you a great reading week
