The Weekend Review - May 27th-29th





The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It's a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

If you'd like to participate with The Sunday Salon, it is now being hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading is a meme with a new host!  It's now being hosted by Kathryn at Book Date. This is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between! This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!

I'm also linking to  Stacking The Shelves which is hosted by Reading Reality.

Hi Everyone!  

For those celebrating Memorial Day, I hope you are having a wonderful celebration.  We're not doing much here but the weather is starting to get better.

It's hard to believe May is just about over.  The month really went fast for me.  I only finished one book this week and, overall, only 6 for May.  Hopefully my reading time will be better now that the regular TV season is over.  I only have one show still left on the air which is The Blacklist.  That one is going to run through the summer.

I hope you all have a great week.

These are the books I'm planning to read in July.  I only had two carryovers from May.  That's not too bad, plus I might still read another book before Wednesday.  






Here are this week's Kindle freebie haul. They were freebies when I got them, I don't know if they still are. Always make sure to check they are still free before buying. The prices change quickly.

  3. I've got a couple of shows that are still running until the end of June. Then, it might just be American Ninja Warrior for a while. We'll see if anything else pops up this summer. And who knows when scripted shows will come back with the strike going on.

    1. So true. I'm thinking we may be in for many reality and game show type of shows for awhile.

  5. I enjoyed Identity. On Memorial Day I'm just reflecting on family members we lost, especially my Uncle who died in Vietnam. Here's my SP; https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2023/05/28/sunday-post-working-away/

  6. I don't watch much TV as a rule but hubby & I started binge watching all the seasons of West Wing and just finished last night. I feel like I have my life back! Happy reading this summer! Those first 4 books look like an interesting series. And the Paper Ghost book recommended by your friend sounds really good - off to take a look. Have a terrific week.

  8. I'll often listen to Nora Robert's novels by her pseudonym mystery novels. They find great audio narrators for them.

    1. That's the JD Robb series? I started reading that one years ago but never finished. I should go back to it and listening to it sounds like a great idea.

  10. This year feels like it is going by ridiculously fast!

    I bet your reading will improve after tv season is over.

    I'm hoping to read The Little Italian Hotel this summer, too.

  19. Viewing can cut into reading but I view mostly at night when I am too tired to read anyway.

  20. May really went by fast.

    I've seen Identity on so many blogs lately. Hope you enjoy your books.

  21. Happy Memorial Day
    It might be a long wait til some of our favourite tv shows return, so you will probably have plenty of time to read more.

    Wishing you a great reading week
