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. I love this meme, it helps me stay on track ... well, most of the time. Thanks Sheila!
A long week with a wry neck ... what a stupid name for something causing so much pain and just a few tears. So grateful to be on the mend now.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your neck... hope you feel better soon. The Iceberg trilogy looks like a nice read.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your neck pain is over.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have had some very good reading. I have to check several of these titles. Continued Happy Reading!
Sorry to hear you've had a 'wry' neck...glad to hear you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI loved Sherryl Caulfield's debut novel and am really excited for the release of the second.
I gave my husband a Fitbit last weekend as a combined Anniversary/Father's Day gift...I was kind of hopeful he wouldn't find it useful and then I could claim it...but so far it is encouraging him to make sure he gets up and about more often throughout the day as his occupation requires him to sit for hours on end.
I want to read the Jodi Picoult book:)
ReplyDeleteAdd me on fitbit!! :)
Here is my It's Monday post
Sent you friend request Kym ... see you on fitbit :)
DeleteI have all your current reads on my tbr list :) I hope you enjoy all of them.
ReplyDeleteMy It's Monday! Post

Have entered the Sherryl Caulfield giveaway, thanks for drawing attention to it. I must read the first book which now sits on my ereader. I have Outback Ghost on the horizon too, but need to read Sunnyvale Girls first which is set in Australia too.
ReplyDeleteOops my sympathy on the painful neck, does not sound like fun. Great walking though!!
DeleteSorry about the neck! I felt something on Friday and got really scared, but I think the yoga scared it away
ReplyDeleteI just had my left leg amputated in May, and have recently gotten to the point to be able to walk without a cane. I am jealous of your walking, but I am getting back to where I can walk up the street and back! LOL Here is my Monday Keep hoofing, I will be right behind ya soon!
ReplyDeletesorry about your neck! Glad you're recovering!
ReplyDeleteI hope your neck feels better soon. I have a Fitbit too but had a moment of panic on Sunday when I couldn't find it. I searched the house and finally grabbed a flashlight to look under the couch where the little thing was finally located. I really should replace the carrier that lets me clip it to my waistband instead of just keeping it in a pocket. Come see my week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your neck! I've had the flu for a couple of weeks and I know I've felt just miserably (and full of self pity!!!).
ReplyDeleteGlad you like Lyrebird Hill. I loved it as well.
Deb
Oh no! Sorry about your neck, glad it is better. I've never heard it called 'wry' we call it something else here. I hope to get a Fit Bit for my birthday in a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can relate to the neck thing...and "wry" is definitely the wrong word for such pain. Hope you feel better soon...mine comes and goes.
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to the new Jodi Picoult...and have Larger than Life on Sparky...maybe I'll get to it this week!
Thanks for visiting my blog, and enjoy your week!
Sorry you are not up to par; hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to discover some new titles and authors you raved about! Wow, thank you for some of these tips--the only book I read of yours was Accidents of Marriage and agree it was really good. I am putting Anna Romer down on my check-it-out list and Colleen Hoover, The Brewer's Tale and Bitter Greens. Have a better week ahead and enjoy your books.
I'm sorry you have had a painful neck, I hope it has been taken care of. I'm reading Lyrebird Hill this week, seems like I'm in for a treat.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Shelleyrae @ Book'd Out
I don't think I have heard of any of the books your reading so I hope you are enjoying them. :)
ReplyDeleteHope your neck is better soon,

The Week In Review

ReplyDeleteGreat job with your walking!
Feel better!!!!! Want me to send you some more canned pumpkin to help?? *wink* :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your neck continues to heal and that your week improves.
ReplyDeleteI just read an interview with the author of Accidents of Marriage. It sounds like a good read so I'll be watching for your review!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope your neck is back to 100% feeling good very soon!
