Weekly Reads Round Up: Sunday February 18, 2024 – Saturday February 24, 2024
I post reviews on Instagram and Goodreads. What have you read this week?
Double Grudge Donuts by Ginger Bolton (I read a galley for a review.)
Getting Unstuck: Breaking Your Habitual Patterns & Encountering Naked Reality by Pema Chödrön (I listened to this using my library’s Libby app.)
Maid for Murder: Paranormal Cozy Mystery Prequel by Polly Holmes (I read an eARC for a review.)
Letters of Enchantment #2 Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross (I read a copy from my library.)
Saints for All Occasions by J. Courtney Sullivan (I listened to a copy using my library’s Libby app. This was the February Mom Advice Book Gang selection.)
What I’m Reading & Listening to Now:
Reading: The Snow Job by Dianne Ascroft and The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley
Listening: Pages & Co. #5 The Treehouse Library by Anna James
Life: February is going by so quickly, which feels so odd since January was soooo sloooow. I helped my mom with an appointment and we got to have lunch at our favorite place (we are regulars and I have to say I love having a place where we are!).
In an appointment this week, I got to try using a balance board as a way to regulate our nervous system and I have to tell you, it was amazing. It looks just like this. I may have one in my Amazon cart as I type this. It was a fascinating appointment because I learned about a lot of cross lateral exercises that help with self-regulation. About year ago I learned the 4-7-8 breathing technique and it is magical. I was excited to learn more to add to my tool-box. Here’s an article about this topic (and even though the illustrations are of kids, just know these exercises help us too!).
3 Good Things:
One: It was my turn to host book club and we had a lovely discussion of The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle by Matt Cain. (I listened to this and the audio was excellent.) Earlier in the day, I stopped by a global super market and purchased some Cadbury snacks from England for our gathering.
Two: I was out of cares to give by Friday of this week so I was delighted that the pizzas we had ordered for a school fundraiser arrived Friday after school. Guess what we had for dinner that night! Score!
Three: My daughter and I went to our high school’s production of The Addams Family on Saturday night and despite it not starting until 8 pm and going until 10:30 pm, it was so much fun. My face hurt from laughing when we got home. Such talented performers.
