Weekly Recap #25

Hi everyone, with Rachel and I's crazy work schedules, we miss sharing whats going on with us. We used to have a lot of fun with our Showcase Sunday posts, so thought we'd do something regular on the blog, where we share bookish news and life news in general as a weekly recap! We've decided to link our weekly wrap up's with The Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer.

WHAT I READ/REVIEWED

So I'm still waiting for that book to completely wow me, Here So Far I ended up giving two stars, I didn't end up having that emotional connection as much as I was hoping. And although I enjoyed Hurts to Love You, I didn't like it as much as the rest of the series unfortunately, Lets just hope the upcoming weeks brings me my first five star read of the year!

I had a pretty great reading week, finishing up with my re-read of Alpha & Omega books 1-4 before I pick up Burn Bright tomorrow. Can't wait.  I loved Smooth-Talking Cowboy, my review will be up next week, but The Luckiest Cowboy of all wasn't my favorite Carolyn Brown.  I'm almost done with another Carolyn Brown, The Sometimes Sisters, and it's sooo good! The Lucky Ones was haunting and memorable. I really enjoyed the romance, too.

Nothing this week, which is good enough for me, as I'm still trying to whittle away my ARC copies alongside books I own. I actually reached 80% feedback rate on Netgalley for the first time in my life the other day, so I'm seriously trying to stay on top of things.

Even though this book has been out since the beginning of the year, this is the first time that I've heard of it, I'm not usually a fan of anthologies either, but this book sounds super adorable!

Love Sandra Brown, so I'm excited to see there's a new book coming!  I haven't read all of the books in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, but I do enjoy J.R. Ward's writing so I'm looking forward to Dearest Ivie, which sounds like it can be read separately and enjoyed.

  WHAT I'M WATCHING:
Jasprit  

So I used to love The Mentalist when it came on tv, I think I ended up watching the first few seasons thoroughly, but didn't get time for the last two, so for Christmas I put this on my list and was thrilled when my sister got me the box set! I've only just managed to get the time to start this and I just love being able to watch it once more!

Rachel:
 

I think I'm in season six of Justified and it has just got crazier and more violent. Not sure I really like the changes, but I'd like to see how everything plays out.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK

Jasprit 

So I finally made the time to for the gym this week, I managed to fit in a session for body conditioning and circuits and was absolutely feeling it by the end of the week. I also took part in four workweek hustles challenges and it definitely motivated me to get those extra steps in, I actually managed to win one! A girl I know also started making these healthy snacks, I bought her chocolate brownies and peanut butter blondies and they were to die for, it makes me feel that much better for eating them, as I they're high in protein and super healthy to eat!

Rachel:

I did a bunch of walking last week in prep for my half-marathon training to commence on Monday.  Also, I've been researching a few trips for this year and the next. West Coast: Northern California, Oregon, and Washington later this year and then, hopefully, Ireland next year.  Planning is kind of half the fun with vacations, right?

How was your week?
