Hi Jennifer,
Visited your ‘Lady Of Hay’ post and left a comment, but I can’t believe how many books you managed to get through in a week, it puts me to shame.
You have some great looking titles in your pile for this week, so I hope that you get the chance to complete them all.
Hopefully you will not need to return to hospital, if so, I hope that it is only a minor setback.
Take Care
Yvonne
Thank you. I just had a lot of time is all.
I am so sorry to hear you are not doing well. I hope you feel better Jennifer!
Your books, as always look so good.
I appreciate the well wishes Sheila.
Jennifer,
Your health is more important than reviews. You can place my book on the TBR pile until you are feeling better. I wish you only the best and hope you feel better soon.
All the best,
Joel
Joel,
You are very kind. My review is written and queued already.
I’m so sorry to see that you are not doing well. Take care of yourself and don’t push yourself too much. Please keep us posted.
Thank you Kathy. So far I am still home, thankfully!
Oh, I hope you feel better soon…and resume your fabulous reading life.
You have several interesting titles there…When Life Throws You Lemons, Make Cranberry Juice is an interesting twist to that old mantra.
Have a great week.
