My Week in Review

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is doing well. What did I do this week? I went and had my eye treatment, and there were no issues with the laser. That was a plus. Other than that, same old, same old. I do have a short week this week because I am flying to Chicago for my daughter's dance showcase. That is always great. Here's hoping there are no issues at the airport. 

I don't know if I have mentioned that my Kindle battery kept draining quite rapidly. I was shocked. So, I did what any normal person did and hit up Google. One suggestion was to turn the Kindle on airplane mode. Apparently active WiFi is know to be a drain on the battery. I put that bad boy on airplane mode, and now, I am charging like once a week. Amazing!

Stacking the Shelves

So many freebies, so little time. I have a soft spot for hockey romances, and I could not help but click. I got a few invites too. Bonfire & Bliss Bookstore was on my TBR, so that was a nice treat. Counting the Days is new-to-me, but I think I would like it. Not sure what I will download. I click a eight of my widgets the other day. I have to really think about it.

Read Last Week

I had two DNFs and was a bit disappointed with one book, but I also had a 5-star read. Not a terrible week. My favorite was the new Anna Quindlen. This book was emotional and wonderful. I loved the way the main character's world grew due to one of those ancestry test kits. So many surprises and a beautiful focus on found family and connection. I loved it!
