I am really excited to participate in The Sunday Post hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer and Stacking the Shelves hosted by Reading Reality.
My Life
This week was hard. Things started well on Monday. We took the day off to spend with our daughter who was home from college for a visit. We went out for lunch and then finished up our Christmas shopping with a trip to Barnes & Noble. She left yesterday and it may be summer before we see her again.
I started feeling bad on Tuesday. Not so bad that I felt justified in calling off of work to stay home but bad enough that I didn’t want to do anything. I coughed my way through shifts at both of my jobs on Tuesday. I only had to work my full-time job on Wednesday so I rested as much as possible in the evening. By Thursday, I was feeling pretty bad but I made it through shifts at both jobs. I did the same thing on Friday, doing shots of cough syrup during my breaks at the bookstore. I have had so many cough drops this week that the thought of more makes me ill.
I have tried to sleep as much as possible this week and am just trying to get through each day. The bookstore has been crazy busy. I guess everyone is getting books this year which is a good thing. I just picked the wrong week to catch a bug. I hope to jump back into blogging and make my rounds very soon.
How was your week?
What I’m Reading
I finished 3 books this week. I wrapped up the Charley Davidson series with Summoned to Thirteenth Grave by Darynda Jones and am satisfied with how things worked out. I promised a review of The Puzzle Master by Danielle Trussoni by the end of the year and realized that I was about to run out of time. I enjoyed the book quite a bit. I found myself thinking about the Downside Ghosts series which I loved when I first read it years ago and decided that a re-read of Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane was in order.
I have read just a few chapters of Sanctuary of the Shadow by Aurora Ascher and am eager to get back to it. I have listened to about a third of Unholy Magic by Stacia Kane and am enjoying it just as much as I did when I first read the book years ago.

Carole, you poor dear! So sorry to hear you are unwell. I hope you recover quickly and can enjoy the holiday a bit.
I hope you are feeling much better very soon. The Stacia Kane series is one I have considered for a Read-along as I have not read it. Merry Christmas Carole!

Oh no hope you feel better. I got the stomach flu 3 days ago but am feeling better now.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday.
I think I have the second Stacia Kane to read. Merry Christmas!
I hope you feel better, Carole! Hoping you enjoy your holidays and get some time off for rest!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I feel like so many are sick for Christmas. Half our family had the flu lol Wash the hands people hahahaha Hope you get to feeling better soon.
Oh no! I hope you’re feeling better! Definitely not the week to catch a bug. I struggle getting through the holiday season and that’s without being sick or working two jobs! I hope you’ve gotten lots of rest and have had a much better week.
