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!
It's hard to believe it's August already, but here we are. Basically a quiet week for me. I did have my ophthalmologist appointment. This was actually a follow up to my annual optometrist eye exam. They spotted peeling on the left lens of my eye and they referred me to a specialist. It was a pretty good exam. Yes, I do have the peeling but it's not serious and nothing to be done. I just have to go back for regular eye appointments which I already do anyway.
I didn't finish any books this week. Mainly because I've been suffering from migraines all week. Or it might be sinus headaches. I'm not quite sure, but nothing really works so I have to wait it out. It's a little better today. I did find out that warm compresses help, so that's a plus.
The new Star Trek season has begun (Strange New Worlds), so I'm trying to catch up with that. I saw a weird movie called Obsession. Mainly I haven't really been watching much TV at all.
Nothing exciting planned. We continue having heat advisories everyday. I'm hoping for a break in the headaches so I can read more.
How has your week been? I hope you all have a great upcoming week!

I finished reading...
Nothing this week!
It's a brand new month, so I'm starting fresh with my reading schedule. This is what I'm planning for August. We all know how easily reading lists can change so this is just tentative. I'll also try to add in a few that I missed in previous months. For now, these will be my August reads.
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.
Valley of the Moms is such a good title...Might check out.
ReplyDeleteIt does look good. I've been wanting to read it so hopefully soon.
DeleteSo many interesting looking books. I hope that your migraines go soon. I had one the other night but it seems to have gone 🤞🏻 sugar and salt help a bit, but to be honest I just have to ride it out.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend

Riding it out is pretty much what I have to do too. Nothing really helps, although a warm compress helped a little. Have a great week!
DeleteI’m glad your eye appointment brought reassuring news, even if it’s something they’ll just keep an eye on. I hope your headaches ease up soon so you can get back to reading—and enjoy catching up on Strange New Worlds! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Have a great week!
DeleteI'm glad you don't have anything serious going on with your eyes. I would have been freaked out if the eye doctor had found such a thing in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI started to freak out, but when they said it wasn't anything to worry about I calmed down. Still, it took me by surprise.
DeleteI didn't even know that could happen to your eyes! I am glad though that it is easily taken care of and that it was a good appointment. :)
ReplyDeleteI never heard of anything like this either. It was weird. Have a great week!
DeleteGlad your eye appt went well.getting those things checked early are helpful. I was listening to 20 Robin talk about the advancement in technology as far as healthcare and he said we just need to stay alive for the next 20 years to meet those advancements.heres hoping😊
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, they do make many advancements these days.
DeleteI'm sorry about the headaches and hope you feel better soon. I am not planning much for August as usual because it's hot.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Thanks. I don't plan to do much in this hot weather either. Hope you have a great week!
DeleteThat Valley of the Moms cover keeps catching my eye!
ReplyDeleteIt does look good!
DeleteSorry to hear about the migraines. The worst! Are they weather related? Hope answers are around the corner.

Thanks. I don't know if they are weather related, but anything is possible.
DeleteMigraines sound awful. I hope you feel better soon. XO
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeletePerhaps the migraine has something to do with your eye situation? Hopefully it will get better!
ReplyDeleteMaybe. Thanks.
DeleteIt’s hard to read or concentrate when you have a headache, I’m very sorry to hear about yours.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the heat has anything to do with them?
Maybe. It's hard to say what is going on.
DeleteHope you get relief from your migraines. Enjoy your week.

DeleteSorry to hear about the headaches. Your August bunch of books look good. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Enjoy your books!
DeleteI never knew eyes can do that. Just as well we don't know everything! Hope the headaches have lessened, certainly not fun.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know either. Thank you.
DeleteWe are planning to renew our subscription to Paramount as soon as all of the new Star Trek season drops. I have never heard of peeling of the eye.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of it either. Weird thing to suddenly get.
DeleteI'm glad your eyes are okay but sorry about the migraines. I get periods when I have a lot of migraines and between the migraine itself and the medication it is so exhausting. Enjoy your reading and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks. You have a great week too.
DeleteI hope your headaches have subsided and you are having a better week. ☕︎
ReplyDeleteHeadaches are so annoying! I tend to get some with the weather changes, so I always assume it's sinus issues. Hope you're feeling better!!
ReplyDeleteMigraines suck, I hope you feel better soon
ReplyDeleteMigraines suck, I hope you feel better soon
ReplyDeleteIt's always a relief when nothing needs to be done. I'm glad your eye issue is nothing serious. I hope your migraine is gone by now and you're having a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you've been dealing with headaches, Yvonne. I hope they have cleared up. Lots of new additions to your shelf. I hope you enjoy them all.
