The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It's a chance to share news ~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share new about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.
~~~~~~~~~~
This week was very nice. However, it seems there are phone calls recycling through from things I did already take care of for dad. *sigh* But other than repeating myself, it was a good week. I didn't get to visit blogs as much as I like, but I'm trying to relax. And it seems to be working, other than all the kiddo stuff and things that we have to do on weekends. *sigh* I could use a day off of everything.
I did finish one book, I was hoping for two but that didn't happen.
What's Happening in Books:
Current Read:
Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews
Half Share by Nathan Lowell - a podcast reading of the book. (while at work I'm listening)

I haven't got to the Podcasts yet. I will, they are lining up on me.

Tech genius Daniel Brewer isn't the only one with a romantic history. Already weighed down with the impossible problem of the Maven Initiative's plans for world domination and disaster, Dr. Lydia Ashley is finding it more and more difficult to keep things in balance. With an old flame reappearing and the schemes of a vindictive new rival thrown into the mix, her hopes for a life with Daniel may be on the brink of annihilation.
