The Weekend Review - July 18th-20th











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! 

The weather continues to be hot and humid. This kind of weather makes me feel like not going out and just staying inside with the air conditioning. Unfortunately, it didn't make me read any faster. I didn't finish any books this week. I have no idea why. Well, I did have a migraine today so that's one reason I didn't read today. 

I started watching a new series on Peacock - The Five-Star Weekend with Jennifer Garner.  It's based on the book by Elin Hilderbrand. I planned to read the book first, but it didn't work out that way. I only saw the first two episodes and it's good, but I really want to read the book. So, I might stop watching and read the book. I'm not sure, but I always loved Elin Hilderbrand's books.

Not much else is going on around here. How was your week? I hope everyone has a great week!

Yvonne

These are the books I still have scheduled for July.






Here is this week's e-book 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.

  2. I hope you’re feeling better after the migraine! I’ve been reading one book for weeks because life has been so busy, and now you’ve made me want to pick up The Five-Star Weekend too. Happy Reading!

  3. There's something about the heat and humidity that slows down my reading every year. I love to read on the porch, and when it is too hot and humid, I don't last outside.

    1. I know the feeling. I can't read outside on the porch right now. I'm guessing I won't be able to until the fall.

  4. Looks like you have had a good week there. While I wish I could read more in the summer, the weather is so miserable at times and it can really affect you in a negative way. Hope you are able to pick up some books this week.

    1. Exactly! The weather plays a big part in my reading even though I'm inside. Hopefully I'll read more this week.

  6. It's hot and humid here also. I mostly stay inside now other than watering the garden. I'm glad to be home and work on getting caught up. I've seen positive reviews about Elin Hildebrand but haven't read her books yet.

  7. I hope your migraine is better, those are brutal. It's been hot here also, too hot to do much outside. I've read a few Elin Hilderbrand books and enjoyed them. Have a good week ahead!

  8. Looks like some fun murder mysteries there for you. I have heard good things about Hildebrand. Migraines are the worst and hope you are improving there. Happy Sunday!

  10. Oof, migraine squad unite (quietly, somewhere cool and dark -- though I don't tend to be photosensitive, thank goodness). Hope you've shaken that off!

    The humidity has been the worst part of the heat here, but we're having a cooler week now, whew. Wishing you some nicer weather!
