Weekly Recap
This week we had 3 days at home. I thought that meant being able to get a crap load of work done but between Victoria not liking being kept home and then the pursuing internet issues, I barely got anything done. Then Friday rolled around and Victoria has had a nice lovely temperature, runny nose and horrible cough. So it has been literally everything Victoria wants to do and wants to watch. I have managed to get through a bunch of emails this weekend which means I have downloaded a whole bunch of freebies. Check out the kindle section if you’re interested. I am now in a mad last minute rush to get this up.
This Past Week
Thursday’s Throwback – The Jolly Coroner
Finished This Week
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I have tried but not so successful although maybe just maybe I might finish A Man Called Ove before the night ends.

Library Haul
We never made it to the library this week. Which I think my library cards are relieved about.

So far so good, I have even logged on without requesting a book!

Next Week in Books
I still haven’t exactly figured this one out.
Next Week on TBFB
Since nothing has actually been written and scheduled just yet, I won’t post what I plan to this week. I don’t like feeling like I have promised something and not followed through with it.
Question of the Week
What was the best book you read in the month of May?

I seem to have serious addiction to requesting books. I have 88 currently waiting to be read and reviewed.

Wow you have a lot of challenges going! Some of those look like a lot of fun… Cage of Deceit looks fun, I like the cover.
Let’s see- best book I read in May. I’m gonna say One Of Us Is Lying which I thought was really good!

That seems to be how it often goes, doesn’t it? The best laid plans . . . I hope Victoria is feeling much better now.
I am trying to stay away from NetGalley. It’s dangerous there. LOL
I hope you have a better week, Cai!

Oh no! Internet issues are the worst. 😦 I’m sorry about the sickness also. That’s never nice.
I’m behind on the blogging front so I’ve taken a while to get back around to these posts but thanks for stopping by my blog last weekend!
