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, I finished a diamond painting and almost immediately started another one. Tuesday, I visited one of my brothers at his work and then I took my weekly trip to the library. Friday was a bad weather day and my drive into work was not fun at all. Today (Sunday) marks the first birthday of my blog! It's been a wonderful year, and I am so thankful for all the people I have met so far.
What I Read:
I finished my reread of Salt Kiss by Sierra Simone - I originally gave it 4 Stars but with this reread I think I would bump it down to 3.5 Stars. I finished an ARC of Moniker by Wrenna King - didn't really like this and ended up giving it 2.5 Stars, an ARC of Golden Hour by Rachel LaBerge - really enjoyed this one and gave it 4 Stars and A Box Full Of Darkness by Simone St James - 4 Stars.
What I Checked Out From The Library:
Dear Debbie by Freida McFadden
Even Though I Knew The End by CL Polk
That Kind Of Guy by Stephanie Archer
Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher
Two Can Play by Ali Hazelwood

DeleteHappy blogoversary! And oh my gosh, an empty box from Book of the MOnth? Was it opened when it got to you or just empty? That is crazy! Hope you have a good week!

Thank you! It was opened a little bit but in my opinion, not enough to slide two books out of - almost like someone was checking to see if it was actually empty.
DeleteI enjoyed Box Full of Darkness too. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt was so good!
DeleteHappy Blogoversary!! How bizarre and disappointing to receive an empty box. Glad a replacement is on the way! Have a wonderful week! :)

ReplyDeleteThank you! Hope you have a great week too!
DeleteHappy Blogiversary! IT is horrible to get a perfectly sealed box and have nothing in it, especially when it was supposed to have books! I hope your books show up soon. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh how wild to have the box come with nothing in it! Happy Blogoversary! What is diamond painting? I'm sure you've mentioned it, but I'm at a loss trying to recall.
ReplyDeleteDiamond painting is hard to describe. It's an image with a sticky background and you place "diamonds" down to create the image, kind of like a paint by number but 3D.
DeleteThanks for mentioning your diamond paintings. Every day I'm grumbling because I don't own any coasters and you just reminded me that I bought a diamond paintings coasters set a couple years ago. I need to make those coasters!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy making the coasters!
DeleteHappy blogoversary! One year---hurray!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Book of the Month Club is quickly sending out replacements.
Thank you!
