Stacking the Shelves #157, Sunday Post #154, Sunday Salon #148

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Mine was hard and long. We got several updates on family members health that was not good, my sons lab work has quite a few abnormals, yet no word from his medical team, my husband's aunt went into hospice and passed yesterday, plus extra work. I had book club on Thursday and that went well. This morning is work and after that the plan is to go to Cleveland and see frozen Lake Erie. We'll go to Church tonight, and tomorrow will be a rest day.

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! And audiobooks. The Stacking the Shelves meme is hosted at Reading Reality.

  2. Seeing frozen Lake Erie sounds neat… it’s only half an hour to the lake from here, but I don’t think we want to drive on the FROZEN roads!
    Good luck with all the issues that you described… mae at maefood.blogspot.com

    1. Mae, I understand, if our roads had been frozen we would have stayed home.
