Welcome to the Sunday Roundup #58!!
On the homefront:
Everything has been running smoothly. Things with my daughter have been calm (knock on wood) and I have been too busy to pay much attention to what is around me. So all is good here. I got to finish Neverworld Wake this week, trust me when I tell you I have been reading it the only time I could fit in, like the doctor's office, outside waiting for kids buses etc. Usually when I can't have my textbook in front of me. It was one of those books that I couldn't / didn't want to leave the doctors or bus stop at times so I could try to read as much as I could. I really enjoyed it!
Things I know:
School Front:
I have been studying, doing homework, practicing and reading chemistry for at least 40 hours or more this week. I feel like that is all I have been doing. I am exhausted and sick of looking at it! I did get a 90 on my test so that is something good!
Blog:
With all the studying this week I didn't get the chance to finish my own book reviews. This week there are no tests so I will be hopping around to comment and saying hello! Maybe even finish a review or two of my own!
Around the Blogosphere:

Have any new goodies to share?
I need to fit in some more reading this week and get back on schedule. I've just been so tired and wanted to sloth around in front of the TV or computer instead!
ReplyDeleteMarisha Pessl is like the best writer ever! Glad you picked up on her.
ReplyDeleteI try to at least read for an hour a day. I have limited time to read but some days I can fit in more.
ReplyDeleteGlad things are quiet with your daughter.
I hope this week is a great one for you Mary! Happy Reading! xx
I've been eyeing The Broken Girls...and Blessed has an interesting cover. Thanks for sharing, and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHere are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Mary I am so happy to hear that things are easier with your daughter! God knows you deserve a break with school, studying and being a mom in general! Now congrats on your test! I don't know if I could study again like you do! You are a strong woman. xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your test. We have a lot of catching up to do.

ReplyDeleteIt is a wonder you find any time to read with all of that studying. Sounds like it paid off. Congrats on your test score!

Glad it was a pretty good week! And chemistry was the bane of my existence in high school- I'm glad you're doing well with it haha! Wasn't my strongest class!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Leppard song!!
You may be spending a lot of time on chem, but your hard work is paying off. Yeah for you! Glad to hear things are calm at home. That's definitely a plus. I remember seeing a lot of great reviews for The Broken Girls. Hope you enjoy all your new books.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all that you nurses do!! I spent the whole day at the ER with my husband -- kidney stone issues again. It was a long, exhausting day, and he's still in so much pain. We were so grateful for the kind nurses there. I did get to read some of my book while I was waiting with him (Sweet Little Lies by Caz Frear.)
ReplyDeleteSchool sounds rather overwhelming right now. Glad there are no tests this week! I've been curious about The Dreamers. Might check my library for that one. That Def Leppard song totally took me back! Thanks for the blast of nostalgia. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you ever blog with the studying. I liked the Dreamers but it was odd. I want to read The Broken Girls but don't know when I will get to it. Have a great week without tests! Anne - Books of My Heart
