I drew the winner for my giveaway; it's...
Congratulations-we've been in contact and your choice has been ordered!
Thank you so much to everyone who follows whether through GFC or other means, to everyone who has ever stopped by, to everyone who has ever left a comment-this blog means so much to me and you all really make it worth it! Thank you and I look forward to many more years in the blogosphere.
Personal:
I am having so much fun with my softball league. Sure, we're 3-4 but we're actually ranked third in the league because most of the teams aren't that good. And I'm having so much fun with my coworkers, seeing who can bat and catch (hint: not me).
My eyes are doing quite well. They still feel a bit strained on occasion and driving at night is not an ideal situation but I'm really happy with my decision.
I'm hoping to have some good time to read today as my week is getting busy again. The goal is to stay on track with my six reviews a week but I don't know if that will happen. I'll keep you posted.

Softball sounds fun! I haven't played since high school :)
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying it so much. I was never athletic in school so this is a BIG change for me!
DeleteGlad you are having fun with softball and eyes are doing pretty well
ReplyDeleteMe too-my personal life is going pretty well right now.
DeleteI wish I could play softball. I mean, I could, but I'm terrible at it.
ReplyDeleteVery curious to hear what you think about Taken, Life After Theft and How Zoe etc.etc. I had complicated feelings about all those. And one I still haven't finished.

Oh, I'm definitely the worst on the team (I have not managed to get a hit but I've been walked a few times).
DeleteI had generally positive feelings for all three but will delve more into them later this week.
Next week sounds great. I'm looking forward to you thoughts on Life After Theft and Taken. Have a great day!!

I think it's a pretty exciting week :) Happy reading!
DeleteYour week sounds great! I used to play softball in high school. I loved it. I would play on a rec team now if I didn't have back issues. It's such a fun game to me.
ReplyDeleteI had never played before but have been surprised by how much fun I've had, especially considering our losing record. I've loved getting to know people a bit better.
DeleteI loved The Scarlet Pimpernel so I am eager to hear what you thought of Life After Theft.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your eyes are continuing to improve and I hope you will be able to get caught up on all you want to do. Have a great week!
I keep meaning to read The Scarlet Pimpernel but haven't so I won't be able to compare the two books unfortunately, something I wish I could do :(
DeleteWorking on the reading!
Sounds like life is treating you pretty good ... glad your eyes continue to improve. The Namesake caught my eye, have a great week and enjoy all those new releases.
ReplyDeleteThank you-I'm really enjoying life! The Namesake is not my kind of book at all but definitely one for you to investigate as you might love it.
