Stacking the Shelves #98, Sunday Post #95, Sunday Salon #89

Hey bookish friends! How are you all doing? I had another busy week, which did not allow for much reading. I am REALLY hoping things settle down soon. We finally found out what the problem with my car is. It blew a hole in a cylinder in the engine. We have no idea how, but are still praising God that we were not hurt!! Still no word on when we will get the car back. I am planning for a relaxing Saturday, and Sunday evening we are headed to Mount Vernon, OH, to hear my daughter's choir perform Handel's Messiah. What are your plans for the weekend?

    Oof, glad you weren't hurt! Hope your car can be sorted out without too much aggravation.

    And hope you get more time to read soon! I always feel weird when I don't have time to read.

    A performance of the Messiah is such a great way to start the holiday season, especially if you know someone in the choir.

    I am so far behind on my reviews. I keep looking at the calendar wondering if I'll get all of them reviewed by the end of the year.

    Have a lovely month! Cheers! My Sunday Salon post

      Anne, I'm sorry, that is a hard feeling. When I start to get overwhelmed I just do a short review, something is better than nothing, and sometimes you just need to do a short review.

    Ouch that’s an expensive repair, I hope it’s completed quickly.
    Enjoy the recital

    Wishing you a great reading week

    Blowing a hole in a cylinder in your car? That sounds very dangerous. I'm thankful you and your family were not hurt. I hope you are able to get your car repaired soon.

    I'm a huge fan of Handel's Messiah. I bet the event was amazing!

    Thinks: I really need to get myself a car.
    Reads Cindy's post about blowing a hole in a cylinder.
    Thinks: I don't really need to go anywhere, do I? No need to think about a car just yet. I've lived 8 months without one already. What's the rush?

    But yah, so glad you guys weren't hurt! I hope the Messiah performance was the perfect start to the holiday!

      Jinjer, LOL! Yeah, owning a car is not all it's cracked up to be, but then again, I can go where I want, when I want, no need to have to find transportation, so there is that ;)
