Stacking the Shelves #189 Sunday Post #186 Sunday Salon #180

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Mine was mostly spent at home trying to heal from all this crud. Last Sunday I went to the doctor and they said secondary bacterial infection. Thursday found me back at the doctor because I wasn't any better and it was my last day of antibiotics. I was prescribed another 10 days of antibiotics, 2 more nasal sprays, and ordered to get out in the sun as long
as we have it for 15-30 minutes a day to boost my immune system. I didn't end up working this week, with still being sick and unsure if I was contagious, so I had more free time than normal. We are hoping to do some hiking this weekend, I am still trying to get all my energy back, but I am ready to get back to my hikes and walks as well.

Top Ten Tuesday-Random nonbookish post

 Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Non-book Freebie (Come up with a topic that’s not bookish! You could share something about yourself like your hobbies, things you collect, fandoms you’re a part of, things on your bucket list, places you’ve traveled, things you’re proud you’ve accomplished, challenges you’ve overcome, your favorite recipes/sports teams/foods/etc. Or you could go down the less personal route and share your ten most visited websites, your favorite trends in fashion right now, the TV shows you’re obsessed with, etc. Or just have your pet guest post and share their top ten favorite things! Anything goes.) Well, we'll just see together what this post ends up being, other than random. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.   

Even If I Perish

Title: Even If I Perish

Author: Terrie Todd

Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink

Genre: Historical Fiction, Christian Fiction, WWII

My Review:

Even if I Perish is told through a mix of letters and the character's perspective. It is based on the true accounts of Mary Cornish during WWII, and the CORB program that sent children from England to other countries. It is a harrowing story of loss, devastation, determination, and faith.
