Week in READ-view is a post I have posted on Sundays telling you what I have been up to this week and what I read or am reading. The Sunday Post is a meme sponsored by the awesome Kimba at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Itβs a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Real Life & Blog News:
Β RYAN IS HOME!
On Wednesday I got to pick up my baby and they said he was doing great! He is just like my Ryan, he still has some outbursts, a little impulsive with what he says and he is easily annoyed but this is all normal behavior for Ryan that will be worked on through therapy and the home service we will be getting in a couple weeks. I was so happy to have him home, my daughter has been over the moon since we surprised her on Wednesday with his homecoming she had no idea, so when she came home from school she walked into his room to find him sitting there, she squeezed him and they haven’t left each others side since. She is happy to have her brother and BFF home again. We are aware that we still have a long way to go but have so much faith that it will all work out for him and the family. YAY! My Baby is home!!!!
Blogging is back in 100% mode, I am ready to start getting those posts out and setting some stuff up. I am also looking forward to visiting again, I did a few people this week and plan to do more this week and weekend.
Speaking of this weekend, it’s BLOGGIESTA, it’s only two days and I had hoped to start early on Friday but the day got busy and I didn’t have a chance but I spend most of Saturday and most of Sunday organizing my books into a spreadsheets like I have been trying to do for the last 3 months. π
This weekend is WWE Money in the Bank, so Ryan came home at the perfect time since he missed one two weeks ago. He is very excited, as am I, it’s my favorite kind of SUNDAY!
COYER is also starting soon! You still have time to join us!

Picture of the week
So tell me what have you been reading and up to this week?
Hope you all have a fantastic week!!!
Happy Reading
Welcome home, Ryan! π
I am madly in love with the cover of Serafina and the Black Cloak! So pretty!
Hooray for getting into the acknowledgements! That’s so exciting! When I got mentioned, I was flailing around the house and shoving my Kindle in my mom’s face so she could see. LoL
Hi Michelle, first time here! cute blog! Mirrorland series seems interesting! we seem to like the same genres so I’ll visit often. Following your blog now everywhere. Glad to see you so happy with your baby back at home. Have a great week π
Thank you, Daniela!
I will be happy to follow back π
We are very happy my baby is home! It’s been a difficult 3 weeks π
YAY so very happy that Ryan is back home with you !! I’d like to be more organised, I picked up the pace with reading but I’ve got behind again with blogging and reviewing *sigh* … hard to keep all the balls in the air lol. Enjoy your week, I’m sure you will now your beautiful boy is home and happy reading π
Thank you Teddyree, I know, I am so excited and he is doing ok, just needs to settle back into his old routine.
My spreadsheets are awesome for my books but the blogging and review not so much. I am really trying to get my butt in order otherwise I wont have anything to post…ever π
Yay that Ryan got to come home!! I’m so happy for you guys π
How as Serafina and the Black Cloak? I’ve had my eye on it for a while but been putting it off.
I put my books in a spreadsheet this week too! I did have a handwritten list of my review pile, but I’ve been getting a lot more recently and it was getting out of hand. It’s nice to be organized even though I know mine won’t stay that way π
Hope you have a great week!
Serafina was different, it was fast paced or slow just a interesting read. I actually really enjoyed it and thought serafina was adorable, the end was weird but it was good.
I usually write the review as soon as I am finished reading the book but lately I have been finished the book really late and it’s to late to write the review so I just write notes so I don’t forget the next day. Now I just keep forgetting to write the actual review π
YAY for Ryan being home!! *doing the happy dance*
I wish you smooth sailing and good luck getting the blog ahead. I’m hoping to get some things done on mine this coming week. Um, Tuesday’s Task sounds suspiciously like me. hehehehe
Wow. Ashley Nixon seems pretty awesome! Congrats!
Thank you π
LOL I read your post and thought WOW she has my issues with reviews LOL
Thank you I was rather excited about it, I pretty much carried it around the next day to show EVERYONE who walked by me. π
I am SO happy for all of you that Ryan is finally back home again, Michelle! The picture of both your kids together is so precious, and is shows that they’re happy to be together again, too.
I’m glad you’re feeling more like blogging again, and spreadsheeting, and just feeling more energetic all over π
Have a fantastic week ahead and happy reading!
They had gone back to fighting a little bit that’s because she is a little clingy from missing him so much π
I do feel ready to take on the blogging world again however my kids need to go play they seems to hover around me a lot lol. It makes it hard to think!!
Awe, I am so happy your family is all back together again…you must be smiling, Looking forward to your posts. Enjoy!
Thank you Kimba! π it’s very good to have him home.
So glad that Ryan is home, I hope the meds help him and some sort of normal can happen. π I can’t believe COYER is this Saturday!!!! Panic time…lol. All that last minute prepping..I still never did a goal post…aaaahhh. Maybe I will just put it in my kick off post…lol. π
Nice haul, enjoy your books. π
Stormi
Thank you, Stormi!
Yes it’s panic time π but all the last minute stuff will always get done. I am not sure you can put it in the kick off, Kick off has a LOT of info.
This is great that Ryan is home now. He looks good and I hope everything works out well. Good luck on the Bloggiesta. I would love to do this one day but so far work gets in the way. Have a great week!
Oh Kathy! Bloggiesta is fantastic, even just joining a little is totally worth it, If they do a week one again you totally should jump on, the twitter parties are fantastic and you learn so much with the mini challenges they have.
Thank You, he is doing very good. Just trying to readjust to being home. We are just so happy he is finally home!
Yay! I knew all this already but still yay! Ryan home and book acknowledgments! That’s awesome! I hope things just get better and better π
LOL, I have faith it will!
Oh, what wonderful news! I’m so happy for you and your family. He looks so happy in both pictures.
Congrats on being named in the book, that’s awesome! You had a good week. π
He is very happy, last night he was crying and said he was sorry for all the trouble he caused. It broke my heart but I know it wasn’t his fault and I told him that. He’s getting use to being back home and is doing very good!
So happy that Ryan is home! Hope you have a fantastic week! x
Thank you Heather!
So glad that Ryan is home! I know it must feel great to have every one under one roof! Great books this week and how fantastic to be in the acknowledgements as well as the praise! Enjoy your new books and have a great week!
Yes it does π Thank you!
It was a very nice surprise, she really is a sweetheart and I adore her books and her writing!
Awesome that he is home, good for you. It must feel good to have everyone back together. Your new books look good, I like those covers. Looks like good stuff.
Glad things are getting back to normal for you. Enjoy your weekend- and congrats on the Acknowledgement. that’s really cool!!
It feels great! I keep staring at him while he sleeps because his bed has been empty for what feels like so long.
I am excited about some of my grabs this week π
Thank you, Greg!
I’m glad Ryan’s back home again…
And it looks like you scored well on the book front. Enjoy!
Deb
Thank you, Deb!
Yes, I also know I have a few more i wanted to grab might do that this week!
I am so happy for you that Ryan is home and he is doing great. And aww that’s so sweet your daughter and Ryan didn’t leave each other sides. It must be hard for her so be apart from her bortehr for so long. I am hoping things will be back to normal for you now and enjoy your Sunday!
And that’s so nice Ashley Nixon send you a package with a signed book! And it’s the best feeling to see your name mentioned in the acknowledgements.
We got to see him while he was away but she wasn’t able too so she was so happy he is home.
It was a nice and a totally surprise, she is such a sweet person and I am honored to be in her book! π
I’m so happy for you and your family that you’re together again ! Siblings not bickering all the time is something I have yet to experience, I envy you, lol ! My fingers are crossed for your month ahead, enjoy and have a wonderful week π
It can be very nice sometimes, they do fight a little but they tend to play a lot together. She does frustrate him but that’s normal π
Thank you! We are very happy he is home!!!
