#Sunday #Roundup of #Books #Week #68!!

Welcome to the Sunday Roundup #68!!



On the homefront:
Spent a lot of time with the family and didn't really get much else done. I didn't get to read much (and that is ok). I did catch up on Days of Our Lives and I am super happy about that. We are also getting a place near us for my Aunt to live and that has taken up a bunch of time. We are getting the home inspector over there this week and the closing will be at the end of May. We are hoping to have her in there by July as there is some work that needs to be done to the place before she moves in i.e. painting, cleaning, new rugs, etc. 


Things I know:
Vacations go way to fast.

I love shortbread cookies.


School Front:
I go back for Semester 4 on Tuesday! Spring Break is OVER!!


Blog: 
Working on my CWW posts and a few reviews. I am trying to work on all the books I read this year to be reviewed. I also did a lot of hopping but still have a few to more people to hop to today and tomorrow. As I said, this semester will not be as intense so I shouldn't have to wait that long to post back on blogs - YAY! 



Around the Blogosphere:
Some posts I read this week that I thought were cool:

Sam over at WLABB posted about the Social Media Game



AND MY SUPER SPECIAL NEWS:

BOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKCONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN



I will not be able to do any real vacations since school is in session for the summer months so we are doing two mini vacations. Going to BookCon is for me and my youngest daughter we are staying overnight in NYC and then in October, we are going as a family up to upstate NY for the fall Foliage!! =)

  2. Yay for Bookcon! How fun. And nice that you'll have your aunt closer. That kind of thing can really make a difference in someone's life- having family near.

    Thanks for the Twiter shares this week, BTW. You're awesome!

    Love that Eddie Rabbitt song :):)

    I also love Days of Our Lives, even though I get frustrated by some of the characters. LOL. So glad Nicole is back!

    Thanks for visiting my blog.

  8. I hope going back to classes is painless for you, and you get back into the groove quickly. I haven't been to BookCon since 2017, but it's such a good time. The line up looks great too. I am sure you and your daughter will have an amazing time. Thanks for sharing my post. XOXO

  9. I remember being a young kid and my parents dragging me to see Eddie Rabbitt in concert. That is a great song by him though. I don't listen to much country now but my parents listened to it all the time when I was growing up. Congrats on going to BookCon! Hope you have a blast!

  15. Thanks for the shout out on Twitter! I totally agree, vacations are too short! I hope you enjoy your trip to see fall foliage! I love doing that!

  17. Thanks for hopping around to all my posts yesterday! I enjoyed the Kiss Quotient and hope you do too! I watched every episode of All My Children since it started when I was quite young and much of General Hospital. When I first got out of grad school I loved only about 3 blocks from work. Some of my co-workers were fans of AMC, so when Tad and Dixie got married we went to my house to watch it over lunch. I served a buffet lunch with wedding cake. I used to tape it and at one point I would watch the tapes while riding my exercise bike the next morning. Ah the good old days.

    I hope you have a great week! Happy reading!

  20. Looks like I'm going to be moving soon. It's a lot of work but worth it. I recently heart about The Bride Test the sequel to The Kiss Quotient and they sound super fun! ❤️
