The Sunday Post
The Sunday Post is a weekly news meme created by Caffeinated Reviewer. I will be posting on the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me.
The month of January was a cold one, and I mean cold... we had one day with a high of 8 degrees and a real feel of -2. And I know that out there, there are places that get colder. This is not the coldest place on earth, not even the coldest place in the USA, but for us it was 'frickin' freezin' in here, Mr. Bigglesworth.'
My reading month has been a bit slow, I've been working a lot of overtime lately. I started reading American Pharoah by Joe Drape, but it's slow going; that's got nothing to do with the quality of the story as it's quite good, but with the sentimentality of the reader. (It keeps making me cry.) I'm also reading Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, late to the party, I know.
I did get at least two reviews posted in January. Carving Shadows into Gold by Brigid Kemmerer. I'm already looking forward to the final installment of this series. I love Brigid Kemmerer for knowing how to create fairytale vibes. I also reviewed Red, White, & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. It was outside my comfort zone to be reading a purely romantic novel, and not just romance as a subplot, but I enjoyed it.
This is where I leave you today, as I'm going to brave the cold to go take my horse for a walk.
If 8 degrees is the high, you are brave taking your horse for a walk! I'm sure your horse would appreciate getting out, even if it is cold. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteShe hasn't been getting ridden much the past few months, because I've been working so much, so i hope she appreciates it because it was really cold, lol.
DeleteYou have a horse!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes i do.
DeleteIt sounds so cold! I hope you had a good walk with your horse. Have a great week! Try to stay warm!
ReplyDeletei keep reminding myself the cold will be gone before i know it, but then today that giant rat in Pennsylvania predicted 6 more weeks of winter.
DeleteI rode horses when I was a kid, and I don't miss going to the barn when it was muddy and freezing. I hope you have a good week!
ReplyDeletethe mud's the worst. i know its just wet dirt, but its grosser than dirt because it sticks to everything.
DeleteEnjoy your horse riding. You are bolder than I am.
ReplyDeleteRed, White, & Royal Blue sounds like a great read.
Yes the book was cute, i can't believe i finally finished a romance novel.
DeleteI hope you and your horse had a nice ride and that it wasn't too too cold! Have a good week and enjoy your reading!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteFourth Wing is so popular, I hope you enjoy it
ReplyDeleteIt was really good!
DeleteWell that’s wayyy colder than it gets where I live!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy reading week
Thank you!
DeleteIt has been cold here all winter too although we got a bit of a warm up last week. It's supposed to be cold again this week. I love the cold and snow though. Have a great week!
ReplyDeletei prefer cold over heat most days but 8 is too cold for me. I'd like to cap it at 30.
DeleteI hope it's warming up where you live. Did you enjoy your walk with your horse? Silly question! I bet you did. :)
ReplyDeletenot warming up yet, snow in the forecast. I did enjoy my walk, she always puts a smile on my face.
DeleteNever had a horse but used to work with them. They are such majestic animals.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
There is just something about them that's therapeutic...
