I have a summer cold, which feels like bronchitis and it is making me miserable. I probably did too much on vacation. Between the constant coughing and head pain I just want to lay in a darken room. Stay Caffeinated!

Caffeinated Happenings
I got the first Mercy Kaptrick book by Kendra Elliot through the Prime library and loved it. I decided I would read the series. The rest of the books are 4.99 a pop and I figured I would get one a month, but then I got a notice for a Prime Day, Kindle unlimited deal. You get three months for 99 cents. Hallie Edwards backlist is also in KU and I jumped at the deal. So, prepare as I will be devouring and reviewing a lot of KU books for the next few months. Here is the deal for Prime members: Prime Day – Kindle Unlimited $3 bounty

I hope you are feeling better by now. I myself am trying to kick away the last of my small cough. Only yesterday I started feeling human after passing out after a Costco run but I had some trouble sleeping last night and coughed a bit. Made myself still workout so my eyes are droopy right now.
Katherine @ I Wish I Lived in a Library
I tend to get sick after vacation regularly. It’s a trend that I wish would go away! I hope you’re giving in to your urge to go lie in a darkened room and get some rest. Feel better soon and have a great week!

I got Kindle Unlimited with a deal like that…I love it! I’ve read so many books that I otherwise wouldn’t have.
Darlene
Ugh, sorry to hear that you are sick! You should try Oil of Oregano. It tastes pretty strong, but you only need three drops at a time and it has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Give it a try!
The KU offer sounds amazing. I checked but I can’t get it since I’m in Canada 🙁

Ugh, what a way to end your time away… with a miserable cold. Fingers crossed that it’s not bronchitis. It always takes me ages to fully bounce back from that. Love your random… I’m feeling that today. 🙂
Nicci @ Sunny Buzzy Books
Sucks about the cold, but at least you can lie in the dark and listen to audiobooks! 🙂 Hope you feel better soon.
I love having my KU but I don’t take full advantage of it… That’ll probably change in the next few months when house buying slaughters my disposable income! lol

I’m so sorry about your cold! Those are the worst during the summer!! The Binding and Cowboy, Cross My Heart look like books I’d enjoy. I hope you enjoy them all! I joined Kindle Unlimited with a promo in May, but need to use it more. I need to see when my trial is over too so I can decide if I want to pay for it or not. We’ll see.
