The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week, and showcase books and things we have received.
Don’t forget to look at my giveaways on the right sidebar.
Sunday, it’s a nice day. I’m trying to get everything done with visiting blogs, reading, working on posts and around the house. I took Lulu for a walk on the medium route but still being a bit careful with my foot. My daughter continues to feel badly and slept until nearly dinner.
Monday, I worked on reviews and posts. I notified the winner from the Besieged giveaway. We took Lulu to the vet for vaccine updates, then picked up a couple items at Aldi which is almost next door.
Tuesday, I slept more rather than getting in more reading last night. I walked Kayla, then Abby and Lulu. Coming back, Marley was in our yard for a visit. I’ve been doing research of online universities where my daughter could continue her education.
Wednesday, another day with walking. I got my review finished for tomorrow first thing. I took my daughter to a chiro massage appt. She is still struggling still after stopping a medication last week which had bad side affects. I was so tired I went to sleep about 9pm.
Thursday, today is nicer and warmer than yesterday. I did the normal walking. Then I worked on more blog stuff and university information. I was also caught up in finishing Iron Flame.
Friday, we had to get up and go to a morning appt with the gastro specialist. It’s about an hour drive and it was early for us. Lulu was not impressed with going back into the crate only a couple hours after wake up. On the way home, we did a pickup at Sam’s Club. My daughter went back to bed. I got to work on getting more college info, writing blog posts and reviews.
Saturday, I took my time just a little this morning. I watered the remaining garden plants and herbs. I’ve been closing the vents on the crawl space under the house. Next to get out and do some leaf blowing. I used it until both batteries were dead. I got my daughter to help and we trimmed Lulu’s nails and then I took Lulu on a medium walk. I placed an order for some gorgeous plants from the nursery nearby. Today’s the last 70F/ 21C type weather with the temperature dropping all week but it looks like no freezing nights.
Things I Learned This Week:
OK if I’m asking for help, I’m also going to share the cool things I learn. You may already know them but hopefully it will help someone.
No effort to work with FS Poster but hopefully I can do more now that I am caught up a bit with reviews.
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Reading Reality. These are the exciting ARCs I received this week (If you click on the cover, it will take you to the Goodreads entry):
My grateful thanks to Recorded Books.

I picked my Amazon First Reads for November.
Now the really scary one. This is all the Kindle and Audible freebies I grabbed this past week. You can see why I need to do Thrifty Thursday to be sure I read a few at least one each month.
I really meant to cut back on freebies BUT they are free so I guess that won’t be happening.
I’m not including things like reviews posted or upcoming as they are always in the right sidebar. And, my challenge status is also there.
Anne
I read all types of books but my favorites are urban fantasy and romantic suspense.I like some romance and some action / adventure / mystery in everything.I like sex in my books but please, only between TWO people.Intimate conversation is equally important to the sex in a book.It lets me see the characters.The other thing I enjoy is humor.

I’m sorry to hear your daughter is still feeling poorly. I hope she feels better. Sounds like you’ve had a busy week with all of it. Nice that you’re having some pleasant weather.
We’re not yet freezing at night, but we’ve been close. Over an inch and a half of rain today. It’s supposed to warm up a bit after today, high 60s for the rest of the week.
Thank you Rachel. My daughter finally seems to be getting back. We still have medical appts the next two days though. We may actually get a couple days of rain this week and will be right around 60.
I hope you both feel better soon. My new bedtime is 9 these days because the puppy gets up so early. Lulu looks cute as always😁 Have a good week, Anne.
Thank you Tammy. I’m nearly 100% and my daughter seems to have turned the corner. Lulu is just so photogenic.
Sweet Lulu💜 She can’t take a bad photo.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Anne!
Thank you Jonetta. Lulu is the star.
Sorry to hear that your daughter isn’t feeling well. Hopefully things improve this week for Thanksgiving!
Thanks Samantha. I’m cautiously optimistic she is improving.
I’m so sorry your daughter is still dealing with all those issues! I hope that she’s able to at least enjoy some holiday food this week. What kind of degree is she looking to do online? We’re getting the colder weather this week too! Hoping for some rain Monday. And I’m hoping to get a lot of commenting on other blogs done while I’m home from school this week.
Thank you Lisa. She seems to be making progress now. They tried a new medication which really went badly. She is looking to do an accounting degree because she likes numbers and hopes it will be a field where she can work remote. We might get rain this week but will be around 60.
I hope your daughter will feel better soon and that you’ll get to enjoy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Sophie. She seems to be improving now. We aren’t doing anything big for Thanksgiving but we are having pumpkin ravioli with pesto and apple pie.
I really feel for your daughter. I know it must be so frustrating and disheartening for her. I hope she feels better soon. And I hope you both—or rather, all three (gotta include Lulu!)—have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you Kara. She is finally feeling a little better this week.
I’m glad you’re slowly getting back to normal with your foot and walk distances. A busy week of chores, errands, and online tasks for you. Look forward to hearing about your beautiful plant order. Yay for getting an audio of System Collapse. I trimmed back brush and plants that are finally done after the frost and ice rain we got last week and looks like maybe just one more raking for us. I’ve enjoyed the exercise, but soon snow shoveling will replace it. LOL
Wishing you and your daughter a good Thanksgiving week, Anne!
Thank you Sophia. There’s always something to do outside. I’m still hoping for more chard, broccoli and herbs. They moved my plant order pickup to Wednesday. I have to run errands 3 days in a row. Boo. Have a great Thanksgiving!
I’m sorry to hear your daughter is still not feeling well. I was hoping she’d be better. I hope the doctors can figure this out. I have a few of those freebies. They look so good. Happy Thanksgiving and have a great week!
Thank you Yvonne. My daughter is somewhat improved this week finally.
Hey there. Sorry to hear your daughter is still not feeling great. I hope she gets some rest and feels okay for the holidays. What will you guys do to celebrate? My week was pretty low-key with several todos and errands. We had a couple of really nice days (60F) and I was sure to get out and walk before the sunset and it got cold again. I finished The Olympian Affair and pray that the next one comes out sooner than later!
Thank you Jen. My daughter is starting to improve. We are staying home this week. Sadly I have medical apps for her and errands for 3 days. I like to clump them so I can stay home more. But my plant order will be ready Wednesday. It will be around 60, then down to 55 with some rain this week. That’s not too bad; we haven’t had hardly any rain. We’re going non-traditional and having pumpkin ravioli with pesto. My daughter isn’t a big fan of turkey anyway.
System Collapse reminds me I need to get caught up on Murderbot. And ooh a new Andrew Mayne. I read my first book by him earlier this year.
I hope things improve for your daughter and she feels better. And that you have a nice Thanksgiving!
Thank you Greg. I love Murderbot! The audio version is amazing. I own some Andrew Mayne books and they are appealing but I haven’t read them yet. Sigh.
I hope your daughter feels better soon! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you AJ!
I hope your daughter feels better soon! I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Jodie! She’s a bit better this week.
I’m sorry to read your daughter hasn’t been feeling well. I hate when our kids get sick. I much rather have me being unwell.
I’ll have to check out that Kelly Hunter freebie.
Have a great week and happy reading.
Thank you Maureen. She’s improving so hopefully we won’t have any more setbacks this year.
I hope you are both feeling better by Thanksgiving. Lulu is so cute.
Thank you Mary. I think we’ve both improved.
I hate to hear that your daughter hasn’t been feeling well. Hopefully, she can find some relief. I go to bed early as often as I can. I don’t get enough sleep. I hope that you have a wonderful week, Anne!
Thank you Carole. We are improving. This week was tiring with all the running but the long weekend should help us get more rest.
Happy Turkey Week!
I can’t wait for Xmas books 😉
Happy Thanksgiving. Carole. I’ve started reading a few holiday books now.
Martha Wells is yet another author on my must read list. I’ve heard good things about Andrew Mayne’s books as well. I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving, Anne!
Thank you Wendy. I have a long list of things I want to read, some authors we would know and others I wouldn’t recognize until I pull them off my shelf.
Hope your daughter is better soon. I’ve been reading your reviews and it’s a great list of books. All the ones I’m excited about as well. Hope you have a great week.
Thank you. I think we are doing better although there was a lot of running to appts this week. I am thrilled to get so many great books to read.
I hope your daughter is feeling better and that you, your daughter and Lulu can have a relaxing Thanksgiving!
Thank you Katherine. We are relaxing and while it’s colder at least it’s sunny after 2 days of rain. It’s just the two of us so we are not being fancy.
Lulu!!!! So cute!!!
I hope you and your daughter were feeling good enough to enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Lulu is definitely the photogenic star of the family. yes we are putting ourselves back together this week.
