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!
I've been a bad blogger ... I blame it on a new camera, a full day photography course and the complete 1st season of Call the Midwife while hanging out with my best friend. Wow did I have fun being a bad blogger haha, I'm adoring this series and can't wait to start season 2.
I came down with the flu, no coincidence, a day or two after getting my flu shot so the plan this week is to rest up and get back on track with blogging and that review backlog. I also have a Scrap for Charity day to look forward to on Saturday.

I hope you feel better soon! In the meantime you could always watch more Call the Midwife :) I need to get caught up. I've only seen a couple episodes but I really liked it. I know Jennifer Worth's memoirs are really popular at my library too.
ReplyDeleteI just read a book that actually depressed me :( I felt sooooooo bad for the heroine in the book ... everyone making fun of her ... ugh... anyhoo! :) I hope you feel better!!!
ReplyDeleteYou've got some stellar reads here! enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI only ever watched the first episode of Call the Midwife but LOVED it! I'm too busy with school right now to get into it but once school is out I envision a marathon of finishing Merlin and Call the Midwife. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you are feeling yucky, hope it passes quickly. Love Call the Midwife too, I am behind in my watching.
ReplyDeleteA new camera can be very distracting. :) The show looks good too, we like to watch a lot of the BBC shows but haven't caught that one. Hope you're feeling better this week and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteah yes, friends and flu and new interests like photography would have captured me quite easily too =) hoping you're sorted soon.. !
ReplyDeleteand narrators make it or break it for my audio listening for sure..
HapPy reading this week ?
Call the Midwife is an excellent series. I really enjoyed the book as well. You can check out my Monday here: http://kyliesreads.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/its-monday-what-are-you-reading_24.html
ReplyDeleteI've heard that about the flu shot this year. Have to have mine yet, sorry you came down with flu though. Learning photograph would be great and would fit in with your scrapbooking I am sure.
ReplyDeleteI loved Waiting On You. Great read.
Ohhh new camera, I know the feeling
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Season one of Call the Midwife. I've been watching a Sci Fi series this week though (continuum)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,

It's easy to become distracted when you have a new camera to play with!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're enjoying While We Were Watching Downton Abbey, I've heard so many good things about that book.
Happy Reading!

I loved Orphan Train...and While We Were Watching Downton Abbey....Safe Harbour looks tempting. Enjoy! And congrats on keeping up the walking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blogs today....enjoy your week!
Lots of good read in your list. I haven't read any of them, but they look interesting.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better. I'm due for my flu shot tomorrow so I hope that doesn't mean I'll be suffering afterwards! I somehow caught an episode of Call the Midwife somewhere and really enjoyed it and I'd like to go back and start at the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling much better. Looks like you've been enjoying lots of good reading. I might enjoy listening to Elizabeth Chadwick on audio.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better, I hate being sick. I picked up While We Were Watching Downton Abbey the other day from the library but wont get to it until next week. I hope you like your reads.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my It's Monday! Post
