Welcome to The Weekend Post #216! The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted at Caffeinated 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. See rules here: Sunday Post Meme. I will also be joining Deb at Readerbuzz for the Sunday Salon.

My Week:

Thank you to everyone who sent their well wishes for my brother’s recent surgery. I’m happy to share that the surgery went well, and he is recovering nicely.

I had a few appointments this week, but otherwise it was a fairly typical week. I’ve also been following the news closely, as there is a potential airline strike looming that could significantly impact my upcoming travel plans. Hopefully, a new agreement can be reached soon, as a strike would likely mean having to cancel the trip.

The weather has been quite unpredictable this week, including a rare thunderstorm on Thursday night. We were grateful for the rain that came with it and welcomed the much-needed moisture.

Recent Additions To My Bookshelf:

It’s been several weeks now since I’ve seen any audiobooks that catch my eye on Netgalley or received any widgets I’ve wanted to accept. Thanksfully I’ve got a long list of books on my library holds.

From The Library:

Love You More by Emily Giffin book cover

Billie seems to have it all—a successful medical career in New York City and a promising future with her partner, Dean, who has just proposed—until an unexpected call from her high-school sweetheart, Mick, shatters her carefully built world. Returning to Wisconsin for the first time in years, Billie is forced to confront the love she left behind, the friendships that shaped her, and the life-altering choices that pulled her away from home. As past and present collide, she must reckon with who she used to be, who she has become, and what truly matters, in a deeply emotional story about second chances, enduring connections, and the transformative power of love.

What I’m Watching:

I’ve finishing watching Elle on Prime this week and enjoyed it. We’re also watching the new season of Big Brother which is a summer staple in our home. Anyone else watching?
