I finished four books this week and DNF two, should have been 4. Two that I finished were also duds to me (one shared on my blog, the other not). I said in my goals post I was cutting down on ARCs, and I am, but these that popped up today, I committed to before this year started.
What you might have missed on the blog this week:

I am also linking up with the Sunday Post. The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted at Caffeinated Reviewer. I will also be joining Deb at Readerbuzz for the Sunday Salon.
My friend in Galveston has had some kind of awful respiratory thing all week---not the flu, not Covid. Hope that's not what you have, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are able to rest and enjoy your weekend!
Thanks Deb!
DeleteI haven't been to the library in a while. I'm overdue! The weather is not cooperating. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteHarvee, I mostly place holds, run in, browse real quick, and then head back out. My local library doesn't carry most of what I want to read, so I have them transferred in.
DeleteYou really read a huge number of books! More power to you.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae!
DeleteI'm looking forward to relaxing, reading and getting together with some friends for a game night this weekend. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lark, sounds like the perfect weekend!
DeleteLost of books this week! We got a lot of snow last night and today, so we'll be staying inside where it's nice and warm. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsi!
DeleteI am very jealous of the snow. We've had none except for a small trace amount that melted immediately. I am afraid we won't have snowy winters anymore here in Omaha, just the bitterly cold winds. It makes me so sad, I love snow.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I really enjoy the snow as well.
DeleteWe are in Florida and projected to get snow. It's going to be a cold week everywhere! I liked the book Dear Mrs. Bird. Hope you get to feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThanks TIna!
DeleteDear Mrs. Bird was a favorite book for me last year -- as well as the two sequels. Hope you like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy, I can't remember where I heard about it, but it's been on my TBR for about 3 years, I decided I needed to give it a try.
DeleteI read the Wiersbe books many years ago. They are pretty good.
ReplyDeleteLaura, I agree, I have read quite a few of his.
DeleteHope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Thanks Marg, I appreciate it!
DeleteGet well soon.
ReplyDeleteInteresting looking books. A shame about the DNFs and not so great books. I am going to try and cut down on books this year to try and get my TBR read. It's not going well so far!

Emily, it's still early in the year, plenty of room for improvement. I have started off stronger than I ever have, so I hope I don't piddle out in the middle of the year!
DeleteUgh I hope you feel better soon. There is so much crud going around right now! Take care, get some rest today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin, yes, so much going around over here as well. I have a sore throat and stuff, but I could also feel worse, so I won't complain. I hope/plan to stay in during the next few days of extreme weather, I don't want to tip whatever it is to worse! Have a great week!
DeleteUgh... there's so much of that respiratory stuff going around. My daughter, her husband, and my mother all had it last week. Hope you're feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks JoAnn!
DeleteRelaxing and doing very little sounds like my weekend plans as well. I'm sorry your book club got canceled and I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jinjer!
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I hope you were able to relax this weekend and are doing better now. Take care and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne!
DeleteThere is certainly a lot of respiratory viruses going around as usual this winter. I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jodie!
DeleteOhhh I love the Melissa Tagg series!!!! Her romances are wonderful. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteJessica, this is the second or third time I have had them checked out of the library (I own the second), so I am HOPING to read them all this time :)
DeleteI hope you feel better soon and you have a wonderful week ahead. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Meezan!

Thanks Cheryl!
DeleteI hope you are feeling better, Cindy. I have caught my daughter's cold, unfortunately. Hopefully it will be short lived. I am sorry about your DNFs and duds. Hopefully this week all your reading will be worthwhile! Have a great week, Cindy. Stay safe and keep warm!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy! I am enjoying my current read :)
DeleteI hope you feel better soon, Cindy. I had a respiratory thing just after Christmas and it hung on for a couple of weeks. Coughing, sinus headache, runny nose. Took Tylenol for cold and sinus for the symptoms and am good now. I hope you feel better soon. Enjoy your new additions to your shelf.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carla!
DeleteI like the title of the book The Diary of a Private Prayer. I wonder what it is about. Guess I'd best check! Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a good reading week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne, you as well!
DeleteI hope you're feeling better and you have a great rest of the week. :)
