My Week in Review

Happy Sunday! The big event today is the ending of Daylight Savings Time. I gained an hour, thank goodness, because I have been treading water all week. It was all work and hospital visits, but I am happy that dad is finally home and doing better. I was hoping to get back on track this weekend, but something was amiss yesterday when I tried to write this post. I don't think it was my internet, since I could access it from my phone, but my post would not save. I lost it all and got frustrated and gave up.

Stacking the Shelves

End of the year, slow week, but I did decide to download a Lucy Score book. I adored Maggie Moves On but have yet to hit up her backlist. It was mostly because all her books seem to be over 500 pages (you know me), but this one is a reasonable length. Maybe I will love it so much that I will toss my contemporaries-should-not-be-that-long rule out the window. 

Netgalley/Edelweiss

• Where It All Began by Lucy Score

Invites

• My Fair Senor by Alana Quintana Albertson

Purchased/Free

• Snow Place to Go by Samantha Baca

Read Last Week

It seems my most successful reads this week were sequels which is always a good thing. I found Soul Searching to be a promising start to a new series from Sage, and The Kamogawa Food Detectives did not disappoint either. Gave me lots of warm-fuzzies. Speaking of warm-fuzzies, Uncharmed took the prize for that. This follow up to Rewitched was even cozier than its predecessor.

Currently Reading

Always a Bridesmaid has been a lot of fun. These race car romances seem to be everywhere lately. I am absolutely in love with Holiday Ever After. It has this great Hallmark vibe, but the heroine isn't evil. In fact, she is trying to right a wrong. The small town is wonderful too. I am actually hoping Grace makes this a series. I would return to Fraser Falls in a heartbeat.
