Weekly Recap #28

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

Things have still been a little mixed for me reading-wise, Wait For You and Playing Dirty I ended up DNF'ing, I really tried, but there were just too many eye rolling moments for me. And Faking It I only ended up rating 2 stars. My only highlight of the week was Alex Approximately, I ended up loving the heck out of this and can't wait to read more by Bennett straight away!

I had a great reading week, and enjoyed all the books above.  I was pleasantly surprised to love The Woman Left Behind, because I had seen some lackluster reactions with the book.  Personally thought it was wonderful!  Zero Day was an amazing series ender.  I should have my review up this week.  I was thrilled to get back to the world of The Others with Lake Silence!

I'm excited to be taking part in the blog tour for Starry Eyes,  as I mentioned I loved Alex Approximately, my first book by Bennett, so I have high hopes for this book too. And it seems like ages since I read a book by Gayle Forman, I've always been a fan of her books and the reviews I've read from close friends for this book so far have been highly praising! I will be reading both of these books with Rashika, so here's hoping they work out for us!

I love Roni Loren's writing, and although I was a little disappointed with the first book of this series I'm looking forward to The One You Can't Forget.  The Kiss Quotient sounds really good even though I'm not excited about the hero being a male escort. I've been enjoying RaeAnne Thayne's romances so I snatched up The Cottages on Silver Beach.

NEW TO MY TBR

This book came across my radar thanks to a fellow reviewer on Goodreads, and I have to admit my interest was piqued straight away, I've been putting off buying a copy, as I have so many of my own books to read, but I think I'll have a hard time resisting for long.

Rachel:

I added the upcoming The Others #7 by Anne Bishop. There's no cover or description yet, but it's supposed to release in 2019.

  WHAT I'M WATCHING:
Jasprit  

I'm still on Season 7 of Scandal, Olivia Pope is once again annoying the heck out of me, but I just can't seem to stop watching, I ended up watching 6 episodes in one day the other day! Despite my complaints I'll be sad to see this series come to an end this year, as it's been a huge part of my life! 

Rachel:

Started watching again and got to the end of season two. All I can say is wow!

EVENTS OF THE WEEK

Jasprit 

 

This week Rachel and I celebrated our six year blogoversary, I can't believe that we've been blogging for so long, to say thank you we have a giveaway for two 2018 pre-orders, you can enter by clicking on the button above! 

Rachel:

Yay for six years! I still running and training and trying to get a handle on my calorie intake because I've put on a few pounds and my clothes are tight. *sigh* You'd think running four times a week and strength training three days I'd lose weight, but this is the second time with training that I've gained.  Brandie has a Facebook group where we all check in and discuss our experiences trying to keep fit and stay healthy, and I guess this isn't unusual.  I think when I run I get really hungry and I haven't been as strict about what I snack on.  I need to portion things out for my snacking to head off this trend.

How was your week?
