Oh wow. (Coincidentally, this is one of our little girl's new favorite sayings...)
You know when you have a really long week and everything hurts? Yup. That was our week. It has been lots of fun, but it has just been one thing after another. I am hopeful that everyone will get a few good nights of sleep and maybe these next few days will be slower.
How was your week?

What are you reading this week?
I've been thinking about read Bittersweet. Too bad about the long, tiring week but hope this next one is smoother for you. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rita!
DeleteI just saw Gutenberg;s Apprentice at Barnes and Noble over the weekend , the cover caught my eye on the new release table. And Bittersweet looks kinda good, I saw a good review of that. Hope they're both great reads...
ReplyDeleteI'm really appreciating the attention to detail in Gutenberg's Apprentice. Each chapter begins with one of those beautiful illuminated letters, just like the old handwritten manuscripts.
DeleteReally curious to see what you thought of Empathy Exams and Broken Monsters! I have Empathy Exams set aside to read soon and I've really been looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteBroken Monsters was good. I thought The Empathy Exams was great. It's the sort of nonfiction you wish everyone would read!
DeleteI hope you get some decent rest! Take care!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGutenberg's Apprentice? Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my It's Monday!
So far, so good! :)
DeleteI picked up Bittersweet as a kindle deal not too long ago, so will be curious to hear what you think. Hope you get some rest this week!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading it. Thanks, JoAnn!
DeleteMine was busy too :)
ReplyDeleteHave a relaxing week,

I hope this week is quieter for you!
DeleteI have 8 daughters, I haven't had a good nights sleep in 30 years. LOL

Haha! My favorite thing is when they whine about having to wake up and you think, "You're telling me kid! I've already been up for an hour."
DeleteI'm so interested in Broken Monsters. Wanna know what you thought! :)
ReplyDeleteI liked it quite a bit. I'm still trying to sort out my thoughts for a review!
DeleteDitto on the really long week! Unfortunately, I think this week will be even worse, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (I'm looking forward to Saturday!).
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that life is crazy for you right now. I hope you find a few moments to rest and read!
DeleteI hope you do manage to catch up on your rest. Some of your books look like I need to add them to my list too. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathy! I'm always glad to increase your tbr list. :)
DeleteGutenberg's Apprentice looks really interesting. Anything about printing and books catches my eye. Hope you have the restful week you need!
ReplyDeleteThe origins of printing are fascinating and I'm learning a lot about the politics and current events during that time.
DeleteI've got Bittersweet waiting in my reading cue . . .
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my Sunday/Monday post.
I hope you enjoy it!
