The Sunday Post #98


The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by 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 your blog in the week ahead. You can find the info here:

  • Vacation has been booked and is 49 days away (not that I'm counting). A week of total R&R and poolside reading sure sounds good right now.

  • I was feeling a bit low this week (dealing with another health issue, though nothing serious) but then this happened. I truly love Winnie the Pooh (I even used one of his quotes for this week's Top Ten Tuesday) and having this to look forward to really lifted my spirits. :)

  1. Three cheers for vacation! I get another yearly vacation of moving my kid from state to state. I am hoping 2019 will be the year I go on a real vacation again. I have been hearing about this Pooh movie. I never got to the movies, but it looks wonderful. Can't wait to hear what you think about the Amy Harmon book. I have my eye on that one.

    1. Hm, that doesn't sound like much of a vacation... but at least you'll be with your girl. :) I very rarely go to the theater (maybe twice a year) but I'll definitely be going to see Pooh. I'm excited for the new Amy Harmon. Her stories always make such an impact on me.

  5. I can't wait to read Lake Silence myself. I hope it's as good as I hope it is. Lots of lovely books. I hope you have a good week in reading. I just got back in my home after a week of no power so I am behind in things. Have a good week. =)

    1. Oh, I hope you’ll enjoy Lake Silence! I was worried when I learned it would be about all new characters but I ended up loving it. A week without power? Ack! Hope you’re able to get caught up this week!

  6. We just cancelled our fun in the sun. It was to celebrate 30 years of marriage, but two of our kiddos needed aid and well parents first right? I am hoping we manage a trip to Jersey to stay with family and get a chance to go to the beach. I loved Lake Silence. Pooh is a favorite. I had a Pooh Bear that was well loved. I will take Sophia to see the movie.

    1. Aw, sorry to hear you had to cancel your trip, KIm. I hope you’re about to make that beach trip happen. I’ve always loved Pooh. I don’t often go to the theater but I’ll definitely go for the Pooh movie. :)

  7. Oh my gosh that Random pic- does such a place exist lol? Looks very relaxing! And yay for vacation! Hope it's a great one! I think the Christopher Robin movie looks awesome, can't wait to see that one.

    LAke Silence is one I think I'm going to take the plunge. Even though it is set in a universe where there are previous books I'm just going to jump in and hope for the best I think. :) I keep seeing all the good reviews...

    1. I wish I actually knew where that pic was taken because that’s where I want to go! :) I hope you’ll enjoy Lake Silence, Greg! You really don’t need to read the other books first. Bishop does a great job of introducing the world so you’re not lost.

    1. We’re staying here in Florida but heading down to one of our favorite resorts. A week of poolside reading is my idea of heaven! :) Sorry there won’t be a vacation this year, but home ownership isn’t a bad trade-off! :)

    1. I seriously loved Love and Other Words. Hope you will, too! I had actually listened to all the previous books in The Others series on audio so it was kind of weird reading this latest one. LOL I totally enjoyed in but now I’m also listening to the audio. I’m just used to experiencing the series that way. :)

    1. This one is just our annual R&R trip. I didn't actually mention where we were going but it's Orlando. We don't do the theme parks - just a week at a resort, lounging by the pool, reading. *sigh* LOL
