It’s time once again for Kathryn’s weekly meme, “It’s Monday! What are You Reading?“, hosted at Book Date, where we share what we’re reading and have read over the past week.
How things change from one week to the next. 2 weeks ago, we were celebrating the end of his receiving care from the visiting nurse. Then, this week – he spent 4 days in the ICU. He hadn’t been feeling two well Sunday and Monday. Thyen on Tuesday, when he got back from dialysis, I knew he had to go to hospital. He looked terrible. I ended up calling an ambulance. They knew it was an infection, but couldn’t find the source. Took til Friday to identify it as sepsis, probably related to the incision/surgery. He had been receiving high dose antibiotics all week. He came home Saturday – a lot weaker and sore. Let’s hope this is the end. His birthday is Wednesday – hope he is a bit stronger by then. Will definitely be a very low-key day.
So, my reading suffered, as I spent time at the hospital and at home, I flitted from book to book. Novellas worked best last week.
What I Read Last Week
I read 3 books– a romance novella, an historical romance anthology with 3 novellas and a woman’s fiction.
Kissing Under the Mistletoe was a delightful historical romance anthology with 3 novellas:
Great Scot by Suzanne Enoch
Christmas at Dewberry Hollow by Amelia Grey
My Mistletoe Beau by Anna Bennett
Silver Bells by Jacquie Biggar. This was a free ebook and an enjoyable romance novella
The Christmas Escape by Sarah Morgan. Loved this new novel by Morgan. A 5* read.
What I’m Reading Now
Marked in Flesh by Anne Bishop
The Road Trip by Beth O’Leary
What’s Up Next (Still determined to read these!)
5 Little Indians by Michelle Good
Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Hoping that he gets to come home soon! My FIL is home after spending a week in the hospital with sepsis as well!
The Sarah Morgan book sounds good!
Thanks Erin. He got home Sat. Hope your FIL recovers quickly.
Sorry to hear about the hospital trip. I pray he is feeling better soon, especially with his birthday coming up.
Your books all look lovely. Hope you enjoy your reading week.
