A weekly event hosted by Sheila from Book Journey to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week. Thanks Sheila :)
Well another big week on the home front. Callum has completed his final exams and has 4 days left of his school life. This Saturday he is off to "Schoolies" a week long celebration at the Gold Coast where school leavers let their hair down and parents worry for the week ;)
I've had excellent results from Japanese acupuncture and now just have to wait for my thryroid to return to normal so I'm feeling heaps better.
Bundy my eldest son's dog needed further orthopaedic surgery on his elbow, but he's finally home on cage rest; now it's just a case of time to heal the fractures in his pelvis and hip but he should make a full recover which was wonderful news.

Oh! I'm so so happy to hear you are doing better and thrilled to hear about the Japanese acupuncture. I've been considering alternative medicines for my migraines and that's one option. So I think I need to check into it a little more around this area. Yay! Hopefully things will just keep looking up for you.
ReplyDeleteAnd can't wait to hear what you think of Saving June, I've got that one on my Nook and hopefully will get to it soon!
Have a fabulous reading week! :o)
Loved the cookbook review and glad you and Bundy are feeling better. Looking forward to hearing about Beautiful Chaos.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of good things about Dearly, Departed and I really want to read that one. Glad to hear you ended up loving it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the acupuncture is helping. Sometimes that helps where traditional medicine does not. I hope you continue to feel better!
ReplyDeleteI loved Dearly, Departed and I am glad you liked it. I will have to check out your review of If I Tell. I have that for review from NetGalley but haven't had the chance to read it yet.
Have a great week!
Oh, good news about the acupuncture! Hope all the pain goes away....
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books. You have some good ones this week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
I hadn't heard of schoolies week before - a whole week - wow - I think I would have a permanent headache for that week!
ReplyDeleteSoooo glad to hear that the dog should make a full recovery, what good news! And I'm very happy that you're feeling a bit better too :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
I'm glad you are feeling real relief.
ReplyDeleteI have the Soul series but just never read them, I need to just try them for sure.
I'm starting to read "Dearly Departed" and I gotta admit, I'm thinking about not finishing because its such a slow start. I've gotta keep goin' though, because everyone says its so wonderful.
