Stacking the Shelves #199 Sunday Post #196 Sunday Salon #190

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? This week was better than last week, but still busy. I had several appointments, my bloodwork was better this week, and now I am fixated on the weather!! Anybody else?! My main concern was that we would get the ice and lose power, but we don't seem to be in the path. We are supposed to get anywhere from 6-12 11-15 inches of snow and it is bitterly cold! I hope no matter where you are, that you don't lose power, and you are able to stay safe and warm. Have a great weekend!

Where the Last Rose Blooms

Title: Where the Last Rose Blooms

Series: Heirloom Secrets #3

Author: Ashley Clark

Source: Library

My Review:

Where the Last Rose Blooms is the third book in the series, and can be read as a standalone novel. Having said that, I have read the first two books, and wish I had read them closer to reading this one.

Sign Me Up

Title: Sign Me Up

Series: Kissing a Kent Brother #1

Author: Dulcie Dameron

Source: Library

My Review:

So, I had to go back and read the first book in the Kissing a Kent Brother series, since I had already read the second one. They are better read in order, but can be read as stand alone novels. I am looking forward to reading the third book when it comes out.

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?

Atomic Habits

Title: Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones

Author: James Clear

Source: Own

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.
