So I am prepping this one early this week because on Friday I will be sunning it up in crazy town…I mean Cornwall ahem……. Looking forward to a few days in the sun and relaxing. Horrible week last week, after I had drafted and scheduled my last lap wrap, my week did not improve. My poor little hamster Rusty passed away, she was the most epic hamster. I mean can you say you had a hamster that would love for you to rub her belly, or survive my cat attacking her in which she lost her eye and still lorded it up around the house when she escaped. Or when she was in her ball, purposedly sought the cat out to taunt her and scare her – see epic! She was on my lap and I sat stroking her while she took her last breaths 🙁 Miss that little mite.
On Saturday morning Alicia and I buried her. To turn a sad day around I was so proud of Alicia! It took her 20 minutes to learn to ride her bike without stabilisers! She did do some dramatic falls…on purpose too! She went to swimming afterwards and smashed it and in the last lesson of the term, she got moved up a class! So the boy had to keep his promise and buy her a toy..she got a bloody luvabella – these things are horrific! But she is happy so happy household I suppose! The rest of the bank holiday was spent with friends and a LOT of laughter so it helped me start my week.
Still house hunting…..kill me now…….I might just write a post about that all on its own! So Cornwall cannot come soon enough!
This week with books, well after the tumbleweed of last week it picked up again -whoops!
So I have been sent some awesome book post, cannot share a picture of one of the books because it is currently embargoed! And a request from an author..
So I got a couple of books and an audiobook…..
Following my review of Dead Mawl, I went on to Kindle Unlimited and picked up the next book in series. Hope to read it this weekend!
And I have been really good on NetGalley! Both part of a series I am reading/have read so I could not pass up on these! I have stayed away from the clicking honest guv! One was an author request!
So how has your week been? How’s your reading been?
Any recommendations for when I visit Cornwall?
Until next time xxx
