Sunday Post/Mailbox Monday 3/11/18: Chatting Books, Yarn and More Snow

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog…

Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists….

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope everyone had a nice week. I can’t believe it is Sunday already, why does the weekend fly by so fast?
We had another snowstorm this week, the worst one of the season. The good thing is we had a snow-day mid-week, the bad thing was all the shoveling and having to commute to work in bad conditions after it was all said and done. Work remains hectic as ever and will continue to be that way throughout March with working later hours every day now. Thank you all for your words of encouragement, I appreciate it 🙂

This was the view from my backyard the morning after the storm. It was so pretty to look at. We got around 22 inches by me. Thankfully we only lost power for about 20 minutes and had just a few fallen tree limbs in the backyard but no damage. A few of my co-workers are still without electricity.

In my neighborhood…

On the blog this past week:

I shared my thoughts on Thirsty: An Eastside Brewery Novel by Mia Hopkins
I had some qualms with this one but it was a solid read overall. The author tweeted me after reading my review yesterday which was so nice of her.

I also posted my thoughts on Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase which was awesome.

I posted a few favorite book quotes for TTT and enjoyed reading other people’s favorites as well.

Currently reading:

I want to finish up Louisiana Catch by Sweta Srivastava Vikram this week.

Crocheting:
I am done with my neon stripes pooled blanket and will share pics when I take them. I wanted to take a few photos of it outside in natural lighting. Maybe I will do that today.

In My Mailbox:
No books in my mailbox this week, just yarn. I bought a few skeins of this yarn past week at the craft store. I couldn’t resist so I am working up a wrap with it. It is Premier Sweet Roll Yarn – “Rocket Pop“. Premier Yarns offers free patterns here at their website if anyone is interested.

Oh, and Otis was freshly groomed last Saturday. He does okay at the groomers, he understands what it is to go there…lol. His groomer says he is very easy and lets them do their job. They scent him like watermelon afterwards.

That wraps up my updates for now. How was your week?  xo
