Sunday Post/Salon #16

 

The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on your blog for the week ahead. Join in weekly, bi-weekly or for a monthly wrap up.

The Sunday Salon (hosted by ReaderBuzz) is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

What I Did:

Monday and Tuesday were nice because I was on PTO from my job so I got to stay home and read - it ended up being nice because we got out first snow of the winter on Sunday so I was glad to stay home and be warm. I got some cleaning done as well. I ended up going to the library on Tuesday and Thursday and I got a bunch of holds. I worked a half day on Thursday so I got my grocery shopping done earlier than normal which was nice. Friday, I had dinner with family for my younger brothers birthday. Saturday, I worked. 

What I Read:

I did a reread of The Blood Demon's Pet by KD Ellis (3.5 Stars) so that I can read book 2 soon. I also finished Warrior Princess Assassin by Brigid Kemmerer (4 Stars), and I really enjoyed it! I need to check out more from this author while I wait for the sequel to come out. I started and finished If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia (3.5 Stars) I worked on reading Mate by Ali Hazelwood and I started a reread of Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. 

What I Checked Out From The Library:

I decided to check out Holiday themed reads from the library earlier than I normally would in an attempt to trick my brain into giving me some happy chemicals. I will be saving some of these for The 13th Annual Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon is a holiday readathon hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer but I will be reading some of them before then. 

Christmas Presents by Lisa Unger, Date Night In December by Jaqueline Snowe, A Jingle Bell Mingle by Julie Murphy & Sierra Simone, A Winter Wish by Emily Stone, You're A Mean One, Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky.

Books I Bought:

I headed back to my local used bookstore this week because I saw they had some Emily Henry - I ended up getting Great Big Beautiful Life which completed my Emily Henry romcom collection. I also grabbed Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz while I was there.

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Thrillers

Image
  Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish  in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. October 28th: Halloween Freebie = Favorite Thrillers Fall / Halloween time is the one time of the year that I shift my focus to thrillers and mystery reads. Today, I made a list of my top ten thrillers. Did you enjoy any of these? Let me know in the comments.

Monday, I went to a local evening Silent Book Club - not sure if I will be attending this one again. I like that it's in the evening because I am a night person but the coffee lounge that it is held at just wasn't bright enough for me and I felt like I was straining my eyes in the low light. Tuesday, I took my weekly trip to my local library. Wednesday, I went to an escape room and had dinner with...
