It was a busy week. I went to the doctor and was treated for sinus and ear infection. I am improving but get tired a lot. We had an event at my husband’s work on Friday night. Hazel turned 2 this week. Can you believe it? We went to her birthday party on Saturday. I am almost done with Christmas shopping (thank you online shopping) and will finish up this week. Because I’ve been sick, I devoured season 2 of Firefly Lane and have started a FBI series on Paramount. I read a little, but kept falling asleep so early I am making slow progress on my audiobook. Ugh, and my house is a mess. Hopefully, I will continue to improve and can tackle that this week. Be sure to check out my book haul and look for the 2023 Audiobook Challenge sign up this week!

I hope you’re feeling better by now Kimberly. Sinus infections are not fun. Happy Birthday to Hazel. They grow up so fast. I just found How the Grump Saved Christmas on KU, so hope to read it this week.

Happy belated Birthday, Hazel! 🙂 Sweet! Good on you for finishing up the Christmas shopping and yeah, I’m right there with you on needing to restore order in the house and get over a bout of illness. 🙂
I snagged the Vera Wong one, too.
Have a good week, Kimberly!

I hope you are feeling better soon. Your body needs rest to heal and everything else will have to wait but kudos to your online shopping. I am doing a lot of that too.
See you next week!
Jamie @ The Fantasy Princess
Hope you feel better soon! Yay for online shopping. I love to buy things online and have them shipped to my house. I don’t like to go to the stores anymore, really any time of the year.

I am so sorry that you are still feeling sick! That is awful. Drink LOTS of orange juice haha Hopefully once your feeling better, you can get some reading done.

The Hungry Ghosts cover reminds me so much of Keanu’s Constantine…so as a fan of Keanu’s Constantine, of course, that caught my eye…clicked, read up on it…now it’s on my TBR. It’s hopeless lol. Happy Sunday.

I hope you feel better soon. Yuk on the sinus infection, you must feel wiped out. Happy Birthday to Hazel!

I’m glad you are improving. I will fling some {{{posivibes}}} your way.
I am SO far behind on Annette Marie’s series. It makes me so sad, all the books I want to read and just haven’t gotten to this year. I can only hope 2023 will be better all around.
