Happy Sunday everyone! This week my hubby was in Puerto Rico for a conference so it was just little man and me. To be honest, it was lonely. I’d much rather have my husband home to eat dinner with, binge Netflix, and to tease me on all my book quirks.
Regardless, little man and I had a good week. It’s allergy season in East TN so we are both sniffly, little man more than me. I’m glad that this year though we have a remedy for his cough (aka ASTHMA). Last year was rough, this year is much better. I’ve only had to use his inhaler a couple of times this week and even though he’s sniffly he is acting himself. YAY!!!
Reading wise I finally started the Mortal Instruments series this week. I LOVE IT!!!! If I didn’t have some books to read for tours/beta reads, I would have spent the week binge reading the entire series. Since that wasn’t the case, I did at least read City of Bones. What did you read this week?
Currently Reading
I’m currently reading Ashfall by Mike Mullins as a group read with the 2016 Dystopian Reading Challenge. So far I really like it. It’s one of those dystopians that is so eerily close to reality that it’s scary! Highly recommend it 😀
I’m also reading the Mail Order Bride box set, which contains 6 novellas (each around 100-130 pages) one of which is by a favorite author of mine. I’m a sucker for historical romance and I am in love with these little novellas. Each one is such a treat! I only have one left so by the time you read this I may be done.

What are you reading this week?
I’m sleeping in this morning because late last night I picked my husband up from the airport….here’s hoping little man gets the memo. No special plans this week. I have several tour books I’m going to be reading, but other than that not much. I will be cleaning out closets and start the process of packing for our move. *shudder* Just the thought makes me cringe. I cleaned out little man’s closet and my part of the closet yesterday, taking 6 oversized garbage bags to the local Goodwill. I’m sure there will be plenty more!
What are you doing this week?
I’m glad your hubby’s back home to join you for Netflix and give you a hard time about your reading!
And I hope you got to sleep in!

Allergies are the worst. It has been really bad in AZ this week too.
Ashfall looks great, I will have to check it out. I hope you continue to enjoy it.
Have a great week!

I’m glad to hear your husband is back. I can definitely understand the lonely feel. When I work the evening shift, I don’t get to see my boyfriend at all except for when I go to bed. When I have more than one evening shift we don’t really ‘see’ each other for days.. It sucks. At least I could sleep next to him I suppose.
Awesome that your allergies are better this year. 😉
I have to work the nightshift this week but I hope I’ll also be able to read a lot. I looooved the Mortal Instrument series!! I hope you’ll be able to keep on reading 😉

Allergies has been just starting around here but now it’s cold so we are going to be all messed up!
Have a great week, Lillian! Happy Reading!

I don’t envy you the packing – best of luck with that… Ashfall looks intriguing and I’ll have to check it out. I also noticed you’ve got Charlaine Harris’s ‘Midnight Crossroad’ on your list – what did you make of it? My Weekly Wrap-Up is

Oh, I hate my allergies…I wake up every day with a sinus headache! I have several meds for my asthma…but everything I’ve taken for the allergies gives too many side effects.
Staying indoors helps.
Enjoy your week and your new books. And your Netflix bingeing. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

I’m curious about the Charlaine Harris series. I haven’t read her in so long and not all of her books always worked for me but the ones that did I absolutely loved. I’m not enjoying allergy season either and the little one has been hit hard and is not happy about it! Glad your husband is back! Have a great week!

When my husband is out of town I miss his company too. Also I have a hard time sleeping, probably because I’m scared being there without him lol. It’s good to hear your husband arrived home safely. Good luck with the packing. I have to clean out our clothes too and I hate doing it lol. I hope you have a great week!

I loved The Mortal Instruments series. I bought Lady Midnight when it came out, but haven’t gotten around to reading it. So glad to hear you are enjoying it.
