Spoke Too Soon

Title: Spoke Too Soon

Series: Kissing a Kent Brother #2

Author: Dulcie Dameron

Source: Library

My Review:

I did know that Spoke Too Soon was part of a series when I started reading it. It is the second book in the Kissing a Kent Brother series, but they don't necessarily need to be read in order, although our two main characters meet at the end of the first book.

Stacking the Shelves #198 Sunday Post #195 Sunday Salon #189

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? I was sick last weekend, so I tried to rest and relax. On Monday, I started having tingling in the left side of my face, long story short, I spent most of Monday and Tuesday in the hospital. They thought I was having a stroke, thankfully I was not. I had a CAT scan, MRI, and EEG. The CAT scan showed a tiny aneurysm, which is what earned me the hospital stay. I have some follow-up tests and more bloodwork in my near future, but so far, so good. I didn't get much sleep, so I am completely wiped out. On the bright side, I got a lot of reading in!! I am hoping to catch up on some of that lost sleep, and get the things done around the house that I wasn't able to do last weekend. What are your plans for this weekend?

My Review:

I have had Atomic Habits on my TBR for several years, and this is another book that I wish I had read earlier. I have been reading it for a few weeks, and it is so good. I have gleaned so many nuggets of wisdom from it.
