The Sunday Post/It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

Hey, everyone!

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. It's Monday, What Are You Reading is a fun weekly meme hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date where we share what we've read and reviewed over the past week and what we plan to read next.

This week was busy, busy, busy! Not great as far as reading, but a ton of stuff got done around the house and it was quite productive. Work was thankfully easy this week (hence the house and mild renovation getting done), and yesterday was the first Saturday off in months. Full week of work ahead!

My dog is finally healthy again, after being sick for nearly all of April. Turns out it was an incredibly simple problem and the first vet I took her to only made the issue 10x worse. Thankfully she's back to normal and I did get my $600 back after contesting the issue with the first vet!

Call me crotchety, but I cannot wait for spring to be over. This is the third wave of pollen and subsequent allergies, and I'm getting really tired of an itchy throat and pounding headache and sinus pressure. 

On the bright side, the weather has been amazing this week. We even had a day of 68 degrees in the day and 50 at night. In May. In Florida. It was glorious!

Hey, ladies!

Kind of a rough week here; work was pretty minimal (only three days, but yesterday was looong), and good thing too since I've been sick since Tuesday. It's a really weird bug/sickness: very queasy, very upset stomach, chilly, exhausted, and incredibly achy. It's getting better, but it's taking too long to clear out of my system. I was even sick on Friday, which was my birthday. Damn. 
Okay, I'll stop whining now. ;)

On the brighter side, I got an adult coloring book (I mean one for adults, not one that's nothing but smutty coloring pages, haha) for my birthday, and I see the hype now. It's so calming and fun! It's also a great time to knock out some audiobook reading.

As you can imagine, not a good step week! It hurts to move, and it wasn't feasible on Wednesday...or Thursday too much.

Audiobook 

Currently Reading

Made some good headway on this one and am about 420 pages in. Enjoying it, minus Lissa. That chick is useless.

Not liking this as much as Big Rock, but still enjoyable. About three hours left in the audiobook.
That cover though....

I love this author. She has the ability to pull me into the story from the very first page. I don't want to put it down!

The Sunday Post/It's Monday; What Are You Reading?

Morning, ladies (and any stray gentlemen)!

A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

As of today, I've been running for three weeks (every day except for one in the first week). I'm happy to report that I'm hating it less, haha. I definitely don't love it or look forward to it the way I do yoga, but it's becoming bearable, and I even like the sort of peace that comes when you're done. 
I'm still doing about 2 miles of scheduled running/walking a day, plus the 2-4 other miles my ADHD self racks up and 30-60 minutes of yoga. When I started out, I was doing maybe 1/4 of a mile of running and the rest was walking. Now it's just over a mile of running and the remainder is walking. Not hugely impressive, but I'm getting there!
I'm going to have to start wrapping one of my ankles and switching my running shoes, but aside from that I haven't had any problems except a tiny bit of calf tightness that quickly goes away with some stretching. I thank yoga for the lack of pain! 



Due to needing to save for traveling in Europe next spring (or fall, depending), I've cut myself down to a $20 a month book buying budget. That's also my only frivolous spending until I reach my goal for traveling. It'll be tough, but I can't wait to go. Seriously cannot wait. I'm so excited! 
I did go out with a decent bang, so I'll have quite the book haul to show you soon!

For Review

Recently Finished

9 books read this week, 5 full length, 3 short stories and 1 novella. 

Also, book porn week. Again. My Kindle is a dirty, dirty slut.

It's like a soap opera in book form.

Not what I was expecting, in a bad way. Just plain weird. 

Also really stupid.

This'll be a 5 star read, I just know it! You have to enlarge the cover to read it - so funny!
