The Weekend Review - November 7th - November 9th











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! 

Things have been quiet here. This week I'm taking my mother to dinner for her birthday.  I, also, have an appointment for a bone density test. 

I've been busy organizing my reading for the rest of the year.  I completed my Goodreads challenge, but I can do better. So, I increased it by another ten books. Maybe I can even do better than that. We'll see. I've also been putting together the 2027 reading challenges I host yearly. Hopefully I can get the sign-ups done and posted throughout this month.  For those who don't know, these are the reading challenges I host:

Cruisin' for Cozies Reading Challenge
NetGalley & Edelweiss Reading Challenge
The Purrfect Reading Challenge
What An Animal Reading Challenge

I finished two books this week.  I watched Dexter, Survivor, Sheriff Country, Fire Country, Chicago PD, Med and Fire, and Boston Blue.

I do hope you all have a great week.

These are the books I'm hoping to read by the end of the year. They are all for reviews.  I'll be tossing in some books for some of the reading challenges I'm participating in too. 






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.

  1. I'm glad you've had a pleasant, quiet week, Yvonne. Fingers crossed the bone density test comes back positive. I'm so impressed you're organising next year's reading challenges already!

  3. I'm starting to think about the challenges and weekly events I want to participate in next year. I love to do challenges, but it is also fun to remember to participate actively in posting about the challenges. I also need to go through my list of books I want to read and modify it.

  4. Happy birthday to your mom! I hope your bone density test goes well. Will has had to have a few and didn't find them too bad but medical tests always make me nervous. Have a great week!

  13. It is nice to get organized for 2027. I don't do challenges finding it challenging enough to keep up with my review stack, but yours look like fun. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
