This week we had snow, howling winds and bitter cold temperatures. The one time I ventured out I fell! A little stiff but thankfully nothing broken. I finished my medication and while I still have congestion and feel drained I am doing much better. I’ve continued my Dresden audio marathon. I’ve been going to bed before 9 pm and following doc’s orders and behaving myself. Saturday, the Royal Princess turned four, and we celebrated with a unicorn cake. She was disappointed that she cannot be five, but all had a good time. Stay Caffeinated.

Unicorn cake sounds brilliant for a fourth birthday, and happy belated birthday to Sophia! And yay for finally better. I am so glad your antibiotics have been able to help you and I am hoping that full recovery continues to go well. x
Tanya @ Rantings of a Reading Addict
SO glad you didn’t hurt yourself when you fell. That is always a fear of mine in the winter. Glad I don’t deal with that much in TX. I hope you continue to improve and get back to yourself. I’m typically in bed before 9 too. I don’t get much done in the evening after work. I think all the stress just wipes me out.
Have a great week and gobble up some great books!
Stefanie
Glad you didn’t break or strain anything in that fall. If I fall around here it’s either because of a slippery bathroom floor or I’ve turned my ankle a few times while out during my running days.
RO
Thank goodness you’re feeling much better these days, and what a blessing that you didn’t break anything with that fall. I’ve been watching the news and seeing all the chilling temps. I used to live in ND in the Air Force and remember having to use a blow torch to get into my cold due to the freezing ice. These are the best days to read or watch Netflix. Sending some hugs your way! RO
Jen
Happy birthday to the Princess! Oh no about the fall. Glad you are recovering, and I hope you are staying warm. Go Dresden Files! I love that series so much!
Tyler H. Jolley
Happy birthday Princess Sophia! I can’t believe she’s already four. I started following this blog before you had any royals. They have brought so much joy to your life. Glad to hear your on the mend.
vvb
A unicorn cake sounds fabulous! Be well and happy reading (listening).
Daniela Ark
Awww happy birthday to Royal Princess! I bet she totally loved her unicorn cake. Unicorns are fabulous! 🙂
UGH Snow! That reminds me we haven’t had much snow yet! I should shut up though before I jinx it! LOL Glad to hear the medication is working and you are doing better! Stay away from the bitter cold and howling winds KIM 🙂
Lorna
That cake looked amazing. She’s getting to be a big girl. And a cutie! Falling isn’t fun and I do my share! So glad nothing broke and that your illness is getting better as well. Stay warm!
Maureen @ Maureen's Books
Congratulations with Princess Sophia. A unicorn cake sounds great. Hope you had a great time celebrating. 😉
I’m glad you’re feeling better Kimberly. Hopefully you will feel less drained soon too.
Aj @ Read All The Things!
I’m glad you’re okay and didn’t break anything. Happy birthday to the Princess. Have a good week!
Dani @ Perspective of a Writer
Awww a unicorn cake!! I’m so jealous! 😉 Glad to hear you are feeling better Kimberly.
MarthaE
I’m glad you are starting to feel better. The BD sounds like fun.
Your new books look like ones I would like.
I love the coffee image – makes me think of Charlie Davidson. 🙂
Happy Reading!
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
I saw the Princess’s unicorn cake on FB (or maybe Instagram?) — adorable! I’m keeping you and your health in my prayers, because you’ve had way more than your fair share of being sick this winter.
Sorry I was late posting and stopping by — I woke up with a stomach bug this morning and didn’t realize that my Sunday Post had been scheduled for tomorrow. Oops! (Don’t worry, I’m feeling a bit better this evening.)
Have a good week, and may your health improve!

Ooh sorry about the fall – I’m glad nothing is broken, and yay for starting to feel better. Happy Birthday to Sophia!! My niece had a unicorn cake last year; they are so cute.

Happy 4th to Princess Sophia!! Such a fun age. Glad you are feeling better. Just started Nightchaser.
Angela
Happy Birthday to the little Princess. It sounds like you’re on the mend. Hopefully you get better.
S. J. Pajonas
Happy birthday to the royal princess! Your comment about her disappointed she’s not five cracked me up. Lol. It sounds like you’re on the mend, so I’m sending well wishes for you to make it all the way to feeling awesome again.
Laura @ Library of Clean Reads
Thank God you did not get hurt when you fell. I hit my head and hurt my shoulder when I fell two months ago. So I’m super careful now. Enjoy our new audiobooks!
Erin @ Cracker Crumb Life
Happy Birthday to Princess Sophia! And I am glad that you weren’t injured! Our weather just got snowy and blowy and cold. I love winter but I don’t like people get hurt or in accidents from the snow. 🙁
Sam@wlabb
I think this winter is trying to get you. I hope you are healing well. What a lucky princess to have a unicorn cake! It sounds amazing.
Katherine @ I Wish I Lived in a Library
Sorry to hear about your fall and glad you weren’t hurt too badly. I stepped out on the back deck one time without realizing it was icy and fell right on my butt. Luckily I caught the corner of the brick stoop as I went down. It took the skin off but I didn’t break my tail bone so I guess that’s a win. How is Princess Sophia 4?? A unicorn cake sounds like the perfect way to celebrate. Have a great week and stay warm!
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books
Ouch. Glad the fall wasn’t more serious. And thank goodness you’re starting to see some improvement on the health front. Rest, rest, rest! 🙂
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
I’m so glad you’re finally starting to feel better. Tell your little unicorn girl happy birthday from all of us! I love your Totally Random quote today, by the way. 🙂
Lindsi
I’m sorry you fell, but I’m glad you’re okay! It doesn’t snow here, and I’ve never experienced a snowstorm. My son would probably love it, because he asks me often when he’ll be able to build a snowman. He keeps telling me it’s cold, but it’s not COLD.
Is that a new Amanda Bouchet series, or an old one? I’ve read one of her series before and enjoyed it, although I didn’t like the ending. 😉
Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? ?
Sophia Rose
Yay for feeling a little better. Glad the fall wasn’t worse. Ah, cute birthday cake and wish. Reminds me of all the half-ing and three-quartering we did as kids to sound older.
Butcher marathoning sounds like a fun thing. 🙂
Have a great week, Kimberly!
bookworm
I’m glad you are feeling a little better and be careful out there!
Happy birthday to the little one 🙂 Happy reading, and yes to coffee!
Stephanie Jane (Literary Flits)
Oh no, sorry to hear you took a tumble. Thank goodness no serious injury though.
I’m envious of Princess Sophia’s unicorn cake. That sounds fab. As to wanting to be five already, I can hear one of my Mum’s favourite sayings: ‘Don’t go wishing your life away. You’re a long time old’
Abby
Four is such a cute age! I’m glad your week ended well!
Anne
All around it’s a struggle these days, so many health issues. I hope you will feel much better soon. At least we have the lovely books and birthdays to keep our spirits high! Anne – Books of My Heart
Mary Kirkland
Oh no, at least nothing was broken but I hate falling down too. Happy birthday to Sophia.
Sam
Yikes! Hope you feel better! We were hit with a terrible snow storm last weekend, and I almost fell a handful of times, too
Aleen @ Lampshade Reader
I used to miss snow, but not anymore. I’m so sorry that you fell, glad you didn’t hurt yourself too bad.
Happy birthday to Princess Sophia!
Melissa (My World...in words and pages)
Oh my. I’m glad you didn’t get hurt when you slipped. I slipped early last week too. When I stepped off our deck with the dog, I slipped on the mud and fell right in it. I wasn’t hurt, physically. Pride a little bruised. lol. But I was covered in mud and had to was all my clothes and jacket. Ugh. we are covered in white stuff now. *sigh*
Take care! And happy birthday to little princess.
Tonyalee
So sorry to hear that you aren’t feeling much better. That really sucks, But you had Sophia turning 4 as a plus! Thanks for the shout out!
Have a great week.
sherry fundin
A unicorn cake…how sweet. Kids are so funny. Glad you are feeling better.
Michelle @Because Reading
Happy Birthday to the little princess! I can’t believe she is four.
Sorry to hear you fell but glad it was just a minor fall and nothing serious.We need to wrap you in bubble wrap and stick you in a bubble to keep you healthy and safe. 🙂
Hope this week is awesome for you Kim with lots of resting. Happy Reading! xx
Lola
We had some cold temperatures and snow this week. I also prefer snow over the ice. I am sorry to hear you fell, that’s good you didn’t break anything tough. And happy birthday to the princess! I am glad to hear you’re doing better and I hope next week is even better for you.
Sophie
Kimberly I am happy to ear that you feel better! And as far as the princess is concerned …we know that when she’ll turn 30 she’ll pretend to still be 29 LOL Have a great Sunday!
Nick
Oh boy! A fall does not sound like fun. The weather has been wretched. I’m glad Sophia had a good birthday even though she was not happy that she wasn’t 5 yet – haha!
I’m glad to hear you’re listening to the doctors orders! Take care!
sjhigbee
I am delighted to hear that you are feeling a lot better, but just take it really easy for the next week or so – your immune system will be struggling and you have been poorly for a long time. Poor little Princess! It’s so hard to explain to them at that age they can’t by-pass a particular age and jump forward. I recall my son breaking his heart when he realised he would never catch his sister up to be twins with her… Have a better week, Kimberly!
Mary @StackingMyBookShelves!
Awww Happy Birthday to her! Tell her not to rush it, they start to come faster and faster. I am glad to hear you are feeling better. I have a bit of a break and will be checking out some reviews today! Sorry, if you get a bunch of comments from me today. Have a wonderful week Kim!
Mary
Yvonne
Happy Birthday to Royal Princess! We had the howling winds and bitter cold, but no snow. I hope you continue to feel better.
Jennifer
I grabbed Stranger Things too (love the show). Enjoy your week.
Jolene Wilson
I have young nieces and everything is Unicorns, Unicorns, Unicorns! lol.
Jan @ Notes from a Readerholic
So glad you’re feeling better, Kimberly. I love the Dresden books, however, I’m several books behind. I wish they’d go on sale…lol. Glad you’re enjoying them. I hope you have a great week.
Stormi Johnson
Sorry to hear you are still sick, I got the crud this week. 🙁 At least your having a good marathon with Dresden! 🙂
A Voracious Reader
So glad you’re on the mend. I continue to {{{posivibe}}} and I think I will augment with some porncense today. hehe
Awww, Princess Sophia will be 5 before she knows it. lol
I hope you have a fantastic non-snowyblisterycold week, Kim!
Jennifer | Book Den
Happy Birthday Princess Sophia!!
Suzanne @ The Bookish Libra
Awww, Happy Birthday to Princess Sophia! A unicorn cake sounds like so much fun. I’m glad to hear that you’re feeling a little better and hope that you continue to improve.
Samantha
Glad you are feeling better! And its so cute that she wanted to be 5. Wont be long until she will be wishing to be younger, not older! haha!
Jessica @ a GREAT read
Glad to hear you’re feeling a little better, and omg, so glad you’re okay after that fall! Falling during winter is scary with all that ice! A belated Happy Birthday to the Princess! That’s so funny she’s wishing she was older, this is a moment to remember for when she is older and wishing she was younger! Lol.
Nice new reads! I still want to read Nightchaser myself but it will have to wait until I finish Amanda’s first series! Hope you enjoy the new reads!
Here’s my STS
Have a GREAT day!

P.S – Unicorn cake sounds awesome!
Evelina @ AvalinahsBooks

Jasprit

Tressa @ Wishful Endings
It’s so good to hear that you’re doing better! Sorry about the fall. Little Sophia cracks me up! Isn’t that how it is though? They want to grow up so fast and don’t realize that they should enjoy it. 😉 Have a wonderful week!

Enjoy your week and your books.
Laura Thomas
Kids always want to grow up so fast. LOL I’m glad you are feeling better and that you didn’t get hurt when you fell, Kimberly. We had some very cold temps this week too, but today was sunny and wamr and I was outside in a t-shirt and flip flops. Have a lovely Sunday and get plenty of rest:)
Vinny
So glad to hear that you’re getting better, Kimberly! And hey, I also happened to get a new Stranger Things-related this week. 🙂
