I am really excited to participate in The Sunday Post hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer and Stacking the Shelves hosted by Reading Reality.
My Life
I worked a lot this week. I worked my full-time job Monday through Friday and worked at the bookstore Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evening, and Saturday all day. I am back at the bookstore again today for a long shift. I have to admit that I am tired. Blogging is another part-time job and I am doing my best to keep up but I am not always up to writing reviews in the little bit of free time I have.
I am taking a few days off from both jobs this week and cannot wait. I won’t have to work anywhere on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday which feels wonderful. I have a couple of things planned and am celebrating a milestone birthday but I hope to enjoy some quiet time curled up with a good book.
How was your week?
What I’m Reading
I finished 4 books this week. I really enjoyed The Trouble with Twelfth Grave by Darynda Jones and can’t believe I have almost finished the series. I wanted to listen to something short so I grabbed That One Night by Emily Rath but I didn’t feel like I got the closure that I needed so I decided to jump right into the first full book in the series, Pucking Around by Emily Rath, which was a bit more than I bargained for since it was an incredibly long why choose romance. I wanted something very different for my next listen so I decided to jump into A Haunting in Hialeah Gardens by Raul Palma which held my attention.
I have read 30% of Bad Girls Break Bridges by S.L. Choi and hope to spend some quality time reading this week.
Books Added
Finding Mr. Write by Kelley Armstrong (Publisher); You Belong to Me by Mary Higgins Clark (Publisher); Ghosts of Honolulu by Mark Harmon & Leon Carroll, Jr. (Publisher)
Favorite Instagram Post of the Week
What books do you add to your shelves this week?
Glad you’re able to get some time off for the holiday! I think that’s one thing that’s always held me back from working part time at a bookstore as well. It takes up so much of the little free time one has. But I can still see the benefits too. Hope you enjoy your break that’s for sure!
Nice new reads! Those are all new to me ones but I hope you enjoy each and every one of them!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I’m glad you have some time off from both your jobs this week. And happy birthday! I hope it’s a good one, and that you have a restful and relaxing and fun Thanksgiving. 😀
I hope you survive this work week and enjoy your time off.
Well I am thrilled to hear you will be taking some time off after working 5 days at each job over the last 7 days. I loved Iron Flame. Interesting about Finding Mr. Write but Kelley Armstrong is a major talent.

Whew! You did rack up the hours this week. I don’t blame you for needing time off and time to yourself let alone to celebrate your birthday and the holiday. 🙂
Have a good Thanksgiving week, Carole!
Enjoy your time off and Happy Thanksgiving!
Sounds like you deserve a break. I love Kelley Armstrong and that book looks fun. She writes so many different genres and she must write constantly! Hope you have a great break!
I’m glad you’re getting some much-deserved time off this week! We had a family wedding out of town last week and will be traveling to the lake cabin for Thanksgiving this week. I’m excited to spend time with family, but I have to admit I wish I could stay home. The Holidays are here whether we’re ready or not!
Those look like some interesting books.
Have a great week.
Enjoy the time off. I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving.
Enjoy your time off. I am as always behind on reviews. By the time the kiddos go home and we eat dinner I just want to curl up with a book or listen to an audio…and so the reviews pile up. LOL
So happy to hear you’re getting some time off! I hope you enjoy it and are able to recharge!
I didn’t know Kelley Armstrong had a romance coming out. I’m excited for anything she writes.
I imagine things are going to be insane for you for the next 6 weeks or so with all the holiday stuff! I hope you’re able to get some rest this week and are able to relax and get some reading in!
Good books. A good week
