Mr. Caffeinated had a birthday on Thursday. Cake was had by all. Things have been crazy here on the home front with family visiting for an extended stay. I am trying to find balance and find myself dog-tired. Hoping to take a long nap today. I had four Five Cup reviews last week. That never happens. I read them at different times, but they all released last week. Stay Caffeinated!

It can be a mixed bag of fun and stress when one has visitors. I love entertaining but I get stressed about having to clean up the house.
Lorna
Hope your Mother’s Day was less stressful. Having visitors come and stay-family or not- can be stressful for anyone, but a bit of fun as well. It’s been pouring buckets for 3 days here. That’s what’s stressing my arthritis! Ha! Have a better week.
S. J. Pajonas
Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you get some rest this week. <3

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you get the rest you need. It’s allays fun when family comes, but also stressful and finding that balance is hard. Love the book haul. Happy Reading!

Happy BD to Mr. Caffeinated!
Four five star reviews is great. Such a treat. I have to resist reading your Storm Cursed review. I am only 3 hours in.
And a nice new set of books to read/listen to.
Happy Reading!
Laura @ Library of Clean Reads
It’s great when the books you’re reading are all great. I like the look of A Murder on Jane Street. There’s something about a book cover with an inviting door on it.
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Glad your husband had a nice birthday. Sorry you’ve been so tired. Hope you have some time to rest soon!

Yay for all the 5 star reviews! Some months are big release months for certain genres. And those are seasoned authors. I went right to audible and purchased one of those with a credit after reading your review! Happy birthday to Mr.l Mine is today. I chose a cheesecake sampler which was new at Aldi’s. We will see if it is any good. I already had a facetime call with my Mom. Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Birthday Mr Caffeinated! Cake is amazing and worth eating every day. Congrats on having mostly 5 star reads! I’ve been struggling lately with a reading slump, so most of my reads have been 3 or 4 stars lately. Hope you get to take a very long nap soon! And Happy Mother’s Day!!
Lola
Happy birthday to your husband! That does sound busy with family visiting for an extended time. I hope you can take that nap and find some balance. Aurora Rising sounds good, I might check out the audio for that one. I haven’t listened to a full cast one before. Have a great week!
