Welcome to the #SundayRoundup #33!!
Happy Sunday!
On the homefront:
Everything went well at my sister's memorial. It was sad but good to see all of the family and come together and know that we are all going through this together and love each other. We even saw an old family friend from when we all hung out when we were kids.
Things I know:
Family loves you no matter what. Doesn't matter what you do - you are always loved by them.
School Front:
On semester break!
Blog:
I have high hopes that now that my kiddos are back to school, I can devote some more time to the blog. I am sorry if I missed your comment as I plan to catch up all week and hopefully see all those great reviews out there! I am excited to do that! =)

Markswoman was pretty good, although I don't now if I'd continue the series. I have read The Bone Witch and I REALLY liked it. I read the second book too and was glad I had read it. I just may buy the series for my Kindle so I can reread it. Thank you so much for stopping by. I'm sorry to read about the recent loss of your sister. My deep condolences and was glad to read she had a good memorial. I was looking around for an About Me page here because I'm curious about you but it's all good. How old are your kids?
ReplyDeleteAnd it's such eye candy around here on your blog! Reminds me of the cookie dough place we had tried out in southern CA this summer.
DeleteNice book haul. Hope you enjoy! Ya!!! For kids back to school. My little one starts this week. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the family time went well. I hope you can enjoy all those lovely books you have! Anne - Books of My Heart
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your loss! Happy to hear the the memorial was well supported.

I hope your sisters memorial gave you comfort. ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Mary! Happy Reading!

ReplyDeleteGood luck with blogging more. I don’t know how parents manage to do so much. I have a hard enough time taking care of myself and my dog. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I'm sorry for your loss, I'm glad everything went well with your family and your getting support.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say, but I did enjoy when the kiddos went back to school... I had more 'me time'.
I still have to read Shatter Me, I hope you enjoy it and would like to hear what you thought of it. Enjoy all your new reads and have a wonderful week ahead.
I'm hoping things will iron out with time so I can get more blog time in too. It's crazy how time fills up so fast. :) Hope you have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your sister's memorial went well. Sometimes those can be so healing and it's so nice to see family and friends. I think I'm always more productive when the kids go back to school. I think it's just being back in routine! I hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that your sister's memorial went well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will enjoy Shatter Me and The Bone Witch!
We've been hearing the Weezer cover quite a bit on the radio. We thought it was interesting that it's pretty much a straight cover - no changes or anything. Makes me wonder what the story is behind that. Glad your life has kind of settled for you. Hope you're enjoying Shatter Me. I have yet to read that. Eventually. Have a great rest of your week, Mary!
ReplyDeleteTressa @ Wishful Endings
I am glad that your sister's memorial went well and I'm so very sorry for your loss. I hope the week has gone as well as it can...
ReplyDeleteThe Bone Witch cover is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGlad the memorial went well and hope you're doing okay.
