Recent Updates and Currently Reading | May 21

Hello, my dear reader friends! I hope you are having an excellent weekend. This update is going to cover two weeks, but honestly - I don't have much to report! Last weekend was my birthday/mother's day weekend so I didn't have a chance to get online to post updates.

Things have been so stressful at work - we are restructuring yet again and probably not for the last time - so I just haven't had enough mental power to read when I get home.

This morning my son woke up super sick so I've been with him in the emergency room. I'm getting this update out late - but I didn't want another week to go by! But that's where I am and how things are going. I'm hoping to spend some time later today reading blogs and reviews and posting some of my own! We were supposed to go watch Guardians 3 today, but life had other plans as it often does.

Infinity Gate by M.R. Carey At the End of Every Day by Arianna Rieche

Infinitey Gate by M.R. Carey - I'm still very much enjoying this one.

At the End of Every Day by Arianna Rieche - I needed an escape! I was in the mood for a book like Piranesi - a world I could get lost in, and I thought this might fit the bill. So far - I'm a happy reader! It's weird which is just what I wanted.


Added to the TBR


The Ferryman by Justin Cronin At the End of Every Day by Arianna Rieche

The Ferryman by Justin Cronin - I forgot to mention in my last update post that my pre-order of The Ferryman arrived. I don't have any immediate plans to read it, but I'm looking forward to getting to it eventually.

At the End of Every Day by Arianna Rieche - Just after posting my Wednesday wishlist post, this book arrived in the mail! So thank you very much to Atria for sending me a copy! It releases in July, but I've already picked it up.

  6. I have the ARC of the Ferryman and should have already read it, but I'm running behind! I sure understand life getting in the way of blogging sometimes - I've dropped several of my usual meme participations cuz I just can't keep up right now. Sigh. Hope you have a terrific week.

  8. Happy Belated Birthday to your mother!

    Changes at work are the worst. Our company sold to another company that I'm not familiar with and I'm wondering what changes they'll do. Luckily they say they won't decrease our pay, but I'm wondering if they will in the future.

    I hope your son is ok and feeling better. It's always scary when your child is sick, no matter what age they are.
