Hello, my dear reader friends! I hope you are having an excellent weekend. This update is going to cover two weeks, but honestly - I don't have much to report! Last weekend was my birthday/mother's day weekend so I didn't have a chance to get online to post updates.
Things have been so stressful at work - we are restructuring yet again and probably not for the last time - so I just haven't had enough mental power to read when I get home.
This morning my son woke up super sick so I've been with him in the emergency room. I'm getting this update out late - but I didn't want another week to go by! But that's where I am and how things are going. I'm hoping to spend some time later today reading blogs and reviews and posting some of my own! We were supposed to go watch Guardians 3 today, but life had other plans as it often does.
Posted Last Week
Book Review | In the Lives of Puppets by T.J. Klune ⭐⭐⭐★★
Books I Recommend to Others the Most
On My Wishlist | At the End of Every Day by Arianna Reiche
Finished Reading
City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ - Hopefully I'll have my review for this one out tomorrow. Recommended!
Currently Reading
Infinitey Gate by M.R. Carey - I'm still very much enjoying this one.
At the End of Every Day by Arianna Rieche - I needed an escape! I was in the mood for a book like Piranesi - a world I could get lost in, and I thought this might fit the bill. So far - I'm a happy reader! It's weird which is just what I wanted.
Added to the TBR
The Ferryman by Justin Cronin - I forgot to mention in my last update post that my pre-order of The Ferryman arrived. I don't have any immediate plans to read it, but I'm looking forward to getting to it eventually.
At the End of Every Day by Arianna Rieche - Just after posting my Wednesday wishlist post, this book arrived in the mail! So thank you very much to Atria for sending me a copy! It releases in July, but I've already picked it up.
This post is being shared as part of The Sunday Salon at Readerbuzz, Book Date’s It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Caffeinated Book Reviewer's The Sunday Post.
I hope your son will be better soon. You are reading the good stuff.

ReplyDeleteI have a couple of friends who love Justin Cronin. I'm glad to see that he has a new book out.

ReplyDeleteThank you! I've been hearing good things, too, so I'm excited.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh yes, you have a lot on your plate!!! I sure hope your son is better soon!
ReplyDeleteI have the ARC of the Ferryman and should have already read it, but I'm running behind! I sure understand life getting in the way of blogging sometimes - I've dropped several of my usual meme participations cuz I just can't keep up right now. Sigh. Hope you have a terrific week.

So sorry to hear your son was so sick and I hope he continues to recover - it's always such a worry:(. A belated Happy Birthday. I've requested an arc for The Ferryman and am crossing my fingers that I get a copy. I hope the coming week is less stressful!
ReplyDeleteI hope your so is okay, Jen! Scary to hear that you're at the ER. :(
