Sunday Post #124

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I got one blog visiting day in. I was hoping for two but that didn't happen. I'll work at it this week to get two days in. Sorry if I didn't make it to your blog! I'll try to get caught up this week.

As for Kiddo... He did get his botox shot on Friday. We weren't sure if it could be scheduled that fast but it worked out and the doctor was in town. The procedure is quick but they still put him to sleep to do it, so his muscles didn't tense at the tiny needle and kick the doctor. Of course it's still a long day at the hospital as there was an emergency that came in and they needed the OR for them. But Kiddo was a hoot in recovery. He just kept talking on and on about anything and everything. I think he even repeated several things too. lol. One thing the nurses all remembered, even those in OR when they woke him, was he kept thanking everyone. He felt they all were really nice and worked with him.

Now, here's hoping that will calm the hamstring for Kiddo and he can keep sailing with therapy to get his leg straight. I know they really worked his hamstring at Saturday's therapy and it started to tighten up, we think the botox hadn't 100% settled in yet even though it's working already.

I did get one book read. Actually read! I have struggled with reading books because of time restraints these days so it feels like a major accomplishment with finishing a book. Audio is much easier for me to get through these days as I listen while at work. Woot woot!

Review & Review Consideration:

Audio Books Requested for Review:

Lantern by Chess Desalls
PICK UP AT AMAZON
Goodreads Synopsis:
Five days before Halloween, all sixteen-year-old Tori has on her mind is vacationing with her family and scoring lots of candy. Her grandmother’s estate, with its Gothic spires and trails that lead out to the woods, holds an unexpected secret: a lantern that lights up for Tori and nobody else. Certain that it’s a ghost or a prank, she investigates further and discovers a mysterious life that shines in the darkness. 

Fairy, Texas by Margo Bond Collins
PICK UP AT AMAZON
Goodreads Synopsis:
Fairy, Texas. A small town like any other.

Laney Harris didn't want to live there. When her mother remarried and moved them to a town where a date meant hanging out at the Sonic, Laney figured that "boring" would have a whole new meaning. A new stepsister who despised her and a high school where she was the only topic of gossip were bad enough. But when she met the school counselor (and his terminal bad breath), she grew suspicious. Especially since he had wings that only she could see. And then there were Josh and Mason, two gorgeous glimmering-eyed classmates whose interest in her might not be for the reasons she hoped. Not to mention that dead guy she nearly tripped over in gym class. 

She was right. Boring took on an entirely new dimension in Fairy, Texas.

Witch Song by Amber Argyle
PICK UP AT AMAZON
Goodreads Synopsis:
The world is changing.

For thousands of years, witch song has controlled everything from the winds to the shifting of the seasons. But not anymore. All the Witches are gone, taken captive by the dark Witch, Espen.

As the last echoes of witch song fade, Espen grows stronger as winter and summer come within the space of a day. Now she's coming for the one she missed—a shy, untrained girl of fifteen named Brusenna.

Somehow, Brusenna has to succeed where every other Witch has failed. Find Espen. Fight her. Defeat her.

Or there won't be anything left to save.
