A weekly event hosted by J. Kaye’s Book Blog to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week.
I thought the picture above was very apt for my reading week. I spent a little longer in hospital than I thought owing to a few complications but two weeks in to 6/8 week recovery I can now keep my eyes open long enough to read and do a blog post LOL. Still feeling sore and sorry, and sleeping more than reading but I'm starting to feel a little brighter. It never ceases to amaze me, the love, care, support, emails and comments I receive from bloggy friends, thanks so much guys, you put a smile on my face :-)
Stay tuned for reviews on two books I committed to reviewing - Miracle in Sumatra & Life After 187. I finished both these before Christmas but due to festivities and then surgery I didn't have a chance to review immediately.
Oh and for those of you who asked, yes I got to see Avatar before I went in for surgery and it was beyond AWESOME!!

ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back! Hope you get lots of reading done during your recovery!
ReplyDeleteI have never read Debbie Macomber, do you recommend her?
ReplyDeleteYou can check out what I am reading at Bloody Bad
I've never read a book by her. Everything I see about her books is good. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteTrin ~ I'm only on my 2nd Debbie Macomber novel. I loved The Shop on Blossom Street, definitely recommend that one and A Good Yarn is the 2nd in the series and so far I'm enjoying it as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're back and hope your recovery continues apace. It's good to see you are back to reading too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the Blossom Street books but maybe I should listen to one. I've read all her Cedar Cove books and liked them.
ReplyDeleteKeep feeling better!
How lovely to see you back and on your road to recovery. Take it easy now and spend lots of time reading and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely festive books there, that I imagine are ideal at the moment.
Welcome back! I have been thinking of you often. I am sorry your recovery has been so difficult, though it sounds like the worst is behind you. Hugs and prayers.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I saw Avatar too -- it was amazing!
Oh, yes, there's nothing better than reading when we're "under the weather."
ReplyDeleteAnd a good Debbie Macomber certainly helps, too.

ReplyDeleteNice to see you back and glad to hear you're feeling better. Love the bear picture.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
The little bear napping with it's book is very sweet and you sound like you are coming back strongly now that your complications are behind you relaxing and reading are just the ticket for a full recovery. Glad to hear you got to see Avatar before surgery, that was a wonderful memory to take with you prior to the hospital stay..... You are going to enjoy the Anya Bast book, have the whole series as lots of fast adventurous action and very "hot" character interaction as well!!!!
ReplyDeleteChristine Feehan you cannot go wrong, have most of her work in MMPB..
Happy recovery and Happy Reading, welcome back!!
