Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you all had a great week. This week has been a very long week full of technical difficulties for me 😵 The blog itself was inaccessible for over 24 hours and it took me forever to figure out what the heck was going on! So I apologize to anyone that tried to visit and couldn’t. It’s now fixed and (fingers crossed) it will stay that way!
Allergy season is in full swing in East TN and while little man is feeling better, it’s my turn to be down. Luckily for me it only last a few weeks, so I’m currently living off hot tea, antihistamines and eye drops, but it will get better and at least it gives me an excuse to lay around and read 😉
Currently Reading
Finished book one yesterday and though it wasn’t my favorite it wasn’t too bad either ☺️ Excited to see where this series is going!

I really can’t believe this month is almost over! Summer is approaching people 😀 This week I have a VBS meeting at our church, not sure what area I’m working in yet but excited to participate. Saturday we are heading to the zoo with my brother-in-law and his family. Can’t wait!! Hopefully we’ll have a pretty day. Reading wise I’m going to keep kicking some ARC butt! What are your plans this week? Anything exciting?

You’re welcome 🙂 I can’t wait to try it! She posts a lot of useful code!
I read The Year We Fell Down last summer and quite enjoyed it – it was one of those NA reads that really does not skimp on the emotions if I remember correctly.
I need to come over next week and check your review of Cress 🙂
Have a good Sunday!

All of your books look amazing, especially ‘Crow Hollow’ which looks almost mysterious! I hope the technical issues don’t come back to haunt you! I can’t help but marvel at how much you manage to post each week, serious respect here! I hope your next week is even better 🙂

Looking forward to your review of Sugar On Top. I feel your pain about allergies, in the Northeast it is allergy season full on as well. Have a good week.

Four books this week is great. That is scary being locked out of your blog..i would have freaked. Glad you solved it!

I had to giggle when you put a positive spin on being ill, extra reading time is always a plus!
I hope you enjoy your trip to the zoo on Saturday, I love seeing animals roam around it makes you wonder what it’s like in the wild!
I’ve been locked out of my blog too before, definitely scary! It was only the admin though and it happened when I was trying to log OUT, it thought I was a hacker!! Super scary, I wondered if I’d ever get back in again. I can totally relate anyway, I’m glad you figured it out 🙂 time to relax
Have a great week,

I hate allergies. I find it really helpful to either rinse my hair out or change my pillowcases a lot since hair is a giant pollen collection device. Plus, I take a ton of antihistamines!
The Crow Hollow book’s cover features a favorite bird silhouette.
