Week in READview:
Real life, Blogging & Reading:
This week was a little crazy getting back into the swing of things now that we are home. Nothing exciting happened just busy and I was actually rather happy about it. The house was pretty much in good shape when we got home. I did a quick cleaning and put all the stuff away so this weekend I was able to focus on finishing up posts and getting some design work finished.
I was very happy with what I was able to do yesterday and hope to get a few more posts done today to get back to twi weeks ahead. This month is filled with check in posts and the Reading Assignment will have registration for the Summer Semester. I didn’t do so well for the spring but I hope to work on that challenge a little more this semester.
I was able to finish To Kill a Kingdom this week and it was really good, I listened to it on audio and it had two people speaking the parts which I actually enjoyed better than one person. the story turned out a lot better then I thought it would and I really liked it. I came up with a book plan to try and have a physical & Ebooks going at the same time and also try to listen to one audio book a month. This month My TBR list is of three audio books, if you have a chance stop by and vote for which one you think I should read this month.
Sign Up will be live on Monday, May 6th, 2019
This one is going to be so much fun and as crazy as it might sound, it is super easy and relaxed. I love a good Pirate themed challenge! lol
What I am watching:
I watched the Ted Bundy movie and the documentary (almost finished with it). It was interesting, I am thinking of making a post about it, especially the movie. I have also been watching Bones again but I am pretty sure you already knew that.
Books
(Read, Currently Reading & Next)
What I grabbed:
My daughter took apart her book box so I wasn’t able to get a picture but she got a cute game and activity books that she took with us to Florida. It was a really fun box.

It always takes some time to get back in the swing of things after a vacation. That’s nice you had a good busy week and had some design work to work on.
I am excited to see that sign-ups for the next Coyer should be open soon. I am looking forward to the next Coyer, it’s always such a fun challenge :). The Pirate theme sounds fun!
Good to hear you enjoyed To Kill a Kingdom, I’ve been curious about that one. It sounds good.
Nice picture of your owlcrate box with the your dog next to it :).
I hope you’ll have a great week!
Doesn’t it feel great to get in a good grove?! I haven’t watched the Ted Bundy movie so I’d be interested to hear what you think! I started the Ted Bundy Tapes on Netflix but didn’t finish them. I really like that Wicked Saints cover! I have a copy of the original cover and it isn’t nearly as pretty! I’ll be checking out the COYER challenge too.
Hope you have a great week!
Glad you enjoyed To Kill a Kingdom, it’s on my maybe list as I have seen good and bad reviews from friends. 🙂
Aww glad you’re back home 🙂 I’ve never done the COYER challenge and it sounds super cool but I don’t think I can join right now. I’ll be watching from the sidelines. I laughed out loud with the “just for fun” picture. I had to save it. Have a good week!
To Kill A Kingdom is on my TBR too. I’m glad you’re settled back in after your holiday! I haven’t made any progress yet on my ‘Read a Series in a Month’ as I’m in a serious slump but I think I’ll start book one today and see how I go!
Hope you had a good time in the Sunshine State! :):)
Ok, I am really psyched for COYER treasure hunt. I LOVE that! I’m hoping to watch the Ted Bundy movie soon. I watched the documentary last month. I never realized how much I didn’t know about him!!!
That Owlcrate Box looks terrific!
Have a great reading week
I have tried a few boxes and the Owlcrate is my favorite 🙂
Welcome home! Those are some appealing covers on your books. I hope you enjoy them.
Thank you! It is good to be home.
I am such a sucker for a gorgeous cover! 🙂
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed Kill a Kingdom. I haven’t started reading my series for the month because I had a few ARCs to finish first. UGH. I’m excited for COYER! Have a wonderful week!
Here is my Sunday Post
I started mine but didn’t read as much as I wanted. Seems to be the story of my life at the moment.
COYER is going to be so much fun.
My middle schooler is reading The Strangers and he’s loving it.
I am hoping my daughter will read is soon, unless I read it first! 🙂
I have To Kill a Kingdom and it’s been sitting on my shelves for almost a year! I really need to get to it soon! I also got The Wicked Saints last month the cover is gorgeous! Have a great week!!

It was pretty good, I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It was very different.
I can’t get enough of the cover of The Wicked Saints but the owlcrate cover is even better. 🙂
I like the cover Wicked Saints has. Want to read that book too. Sounds like you´ve had a great time. I´ve never done the COYER challenge, but maybe I should look into it *smile*.
Best wishes

This is a good time to join up for the challenge, the rules are relaxed or you can take part in the treasure hunt. Plus we have a group on Facebook that is very active during the challenge.
I am DYING to read Wicked Saints but I don’t know if I can get to it this month but I am going to try.
YAY for having everything in order after your vacation, Michelle. We got a new heater and hot water thingy installed last week – and yesterday (of course it had to be a Saturday) we had no heat and no hot water 😀 It’s all good again now, though, thank goodness!
I can’t wait for the next COYER to start… I just hope you and Berls aren’t going to kill us with rules :O
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading. Miss your face!! xoxo
Our dryer gave up before we left, I was freaking out because i didn’t want a lot of laundry… thankfully we know someone that was able to fix it.
We face chatting and it were cracking up. I posted a picture in the group. She needs to post the pictures she took of me and scot. I think you are all going to love it this time. I have some work to do now for before it starts. 🙂 I might do a face time for anyone that has questions because I feel like you all will have questions for this challenge. 🙂
