Thanks for all the get well wishes for my son last week. He's still in a fair bit of pain but apparently that can last for weeks, if not months. As you can imagine, he's not impressed.

ReplyDeleteI've still got your 800 Grapes review to read in my reader - am so behind it's ridiculous!
Some great new books there so keen to hear what they're like!
I'm sorry to hear that your son is still in pain :( I hope Anthony makes a full recovery soon.
ReplyDeleteI want to read We Never Asked for Wings and I look forward to your thoughts on it! I still haven't read The Language of Flowers though I've heard it is really good.
The idea of being in pain for a long time would excite no one! Oh The Precious One does sound great. Have it earmarked at Audible. Hope you love The Color of Light too. Still did great walking even though your target was slightly unreached. I've had a lazy start to this week's one so will have to walk every day now!
ReplyDeleteI do hope that your son recovers fast.
ReplyDeleteThe books you have for this week look so good. The Colour of Light is the one that really interests me.
Best wishes for your son's speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteSending good wishes for your son.
ReplyDeleteI need to try the Emilie Richards series!
Hoping he gets better soon!!! LOVING the photo!! Can't wait to see your review on this THE WATER DIVINER!! I am intrigued!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of any of the books you read or are planning to read but I hope you enjoy them all. Come see my weekly report. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your son is still in a lot of pain. I hope he's better soon. I loved your review of 800 Grapes and am so glad you enjoyed it. Now you are making me think I HAVE to read Racing the Sun! I wasn't convinced and didn't even have it on my TBR list, but I trust your judgement!
ReplyDeleteHope your son is better soon....
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your walking and reading. I am expecting We Never Asked for Wings in my mailbox this week.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Lovely park :)
ReplyDeletehave a great week!
I've been seeing Eight Hundred Grapes around a lot lately - I'm glad you loved it! I thought the quote you shared (about the title) was so much fun!
