Weekend Wrap Up #37

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @The Caffeinated Book Reviewer It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. Here is what I have been up to this last week.

Like most of the world, I went to see the new Avengers movie this week.  I thought it was fabulous.  Probably not my favorite Marvel movie but I liked having so many of the characters in one movie at the same time.  I don’t want to spoil anything but if you haven’t seen it, bring tissues!

CURRENTLY READING

Currently Listening

Saturday Situation is put on by Pure Imagination. It is were we review our latest reads. Be sure to check out theirs as well.

When I heard this book took place in the French country side, I knew I had to read it.  I am glad I did because this was a wonderful book.  Jessica’s husband, Adam, left her soon after her son, William, was born.  They have been fine without him but Jessica’s mom’s dying wish is to have William know his father. Jessica obeys and takes William to the French countryside to meet his father.  William and his father get to know each other and Jessica is relieved because she has a secret that could affect them both.  Even though this book is a bit predictable, it was well written and easy to read.  I look forward to reading more books by this author.

I finished listening to this audio book.  I am loving Jim Dale’s interpretation of the characters.

Stacking the Shelves is put on by Tynga at Tynga’s Reviews. Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves. Here are the books I have added to my TBR list this week.

I loved the last book (Good Luck With That) I read by this author so much, that I decided to check this one out, literally from my local library.

Book Blurb

One step forward. Two steps back. The Tufts scholarship that put Nora Stuart on the path to becoming a Boston medical specialist was a step forward. Being hit by a car and then overhearing her boyfriend hit on another doctor when she thought she was dying? Two major steps back. Injured in more ways than one, Nora feels her carefully built life cracking at the edges. There’s only one place to land: home. But the tiny Maine community she left fifteen years ago doesn’t necessarily want her. At every turn, someone holds the prodigal daughter of Scupper Island responsible for small-town drama and big-time disappointments.

I saw this book over at Barb @BookerTsFarm ‘s blog and had to have it! It was a read now on Netgalley. Hurry though, the archive date is May 8th!

The Book Blogger Hop is put on by The Coffee Addicted Writer . There is a weekly prompt featuring a book related question.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION IS SUBMITTED BY  Rubina @ Booklove

This weeks prompt is…

Do you ever feel like you have emerged better for reading a book?

My answer…

YES!!! That is one of the main reasons I read, to better myself. One of my favorite books is A Girl in Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow.  It is about self-harm, a subject I didn’t know much about but after reading her wonderful book, I feel like I can understand this horrible addiction.
