Thank you to The Caffeinated Book Reviewer for hosting Sunday Post.
We got between 3 and 4 inches of snow this weekend. Since we live on a gravel road, we’re basically snowed in, but Doug’s out there snow blowing because we are headed to Johnson City tomorrow to close on our house there! I’ll be so glad when that is finished.
Last week I reviewed Miranda Fights by Gail Ward Olmsted and participated in WWW Wednesdays.
Next week I will review Find Me in the Stars by Jules Larimore, Saving Madonna by Kate Bristow, and possibly other books.
BOOK HAUL
I have really stopped requesting so many books on Netgalley. A lot of books come to me via The Historical Novel Society, such as the three below: The Four Queens of Crime, The Socialite’s Guide to Sleuthing and Secrets, and A Lady Would Know Better. These are unedited pictures of the books next to me on my desk. I changed lamps recently, so the green lamp is the most recent.
I also got a wish granted on Netgalley, which is rare, so I’ll be reading The Crime Brulee Bake Off by Rebecca Connolly.
My Netgalley shelf is down to 16, which is low for me, and some of them aren’t due until May and June. I plan to keep the shelf to less than 10 going forward.
How was your week?
Clearing snow can be a real job. I think your husband will get it done so you can go close on your new home. You do a fabulous job of reviewing, Bonnie.
It took him four hours to clear our part of the road. Thanks for the compliment, and I appreciate your long-time support!
My pleasure, Bonnie.
My husband was out shoveling today. I spent the week planning and organizing my work for the new year and working on a Story Empire post.
I need to plan and organize!
I’ve reached the point where I can’t stand the clutter anymore! The planning keeps me from hyperventilating that I have too much to do.
I know it would help me too.
Closing on a house is exciting!!!!! I hope it all goes smoothly.
Me too! Thank you!
We only got a dusting, and I did not even bother to clear the .5 in of snow. Congratulations on your new house in Johnson City, which is about the size of Princeton, NJ.
I’m actually selling the one in Johnson City. We are living in Bryson City NC now.
I apologize, my bad!
No need to apologize! Selling a house is stressful though so I’ll be glad when it is closed.
I hope the closing goes well. Love the book haul. I have 14 on my NetGalley shelf but some aren’t due until July!
That’s a good number. I have had over 30 in the past. Too many!
Good for you getting that NetGalley shelf down to 16. One day I’ll be there too. Good luck on the house closing!
So many people got snow this past week. Good luck on your house closing. Wow, 16 books on Netgalley, that’s amazing. Maybe someday. Enjoy the rest of your week, Bonnie.
