Well, it’s been a while and I really didn’t mean to take a break but last week got a bit crazy at work and with home stuff but the biggest thing was that we got our COVID-19 Vaccine, 2nd dose! I was a bit out of it this weekend and unfortunately didn’t really feel like doing anything (not even reading!) but I’m feeling all back to normal and just so happy to have that done.
I’ve mentioned before that even though we may be vaccinated our plan is still to remain very cautious and be responsible. That said, I’m very excited about a potential bookstore visit in our near future!
Speaking of bookstores, I totally missed out on Independent Bookstore Day over the weekend but I’ll make up for when we do get to visit in person next month.
Anyway friends, I hope you are all doing well. I feel like the month is almost over and I’ve barely talked poetry but I’ll be sure to do a monthly report and catch you up on that. For now, I’m really enjoying Shadow Over the Fens by Joy Ellis. Although I admit, it was a bit since I read the first book and this is the second in the series and had to try to remember what happened in the first one as I feel like this one doesn’t dwell too much on the backstory. At least not so far.
So back to the book for now and more book talk soon!
Yay…it’s poetry month. And it’s almost over. Heheh
Totally get this. Have no idea where the time is going! 🙂
Yay, for vaccines and continued caution. I love Joy Ellis’ series, especially the Nikki Galena and the Rowan Jackman series. Both series have great characters!
Hooray for your second vaccination! I didn’t feel like reading after mine, either. Too uncomfortable with a mild fever, headache and chills. I pretty much just spent that day in bed!
Thanks for the reminder about Joy Ellis’s books. I’ve listened to several, but it’s been a while and I’ve forgotten a lot of the backstories. Time to get back to them!
Yay for getting your second dose of the vaccine. It’s a good feeling, isn’t it? 🙂
Buriedinprint – I know right? Poor poetry month I haven’t talked much about it but I have been reading poems daily. Yay.
Jen Mullen – I feel like it’s such a step in the right direction. Now if we just weren’t reaching the point of now having vaccines and so much hesitancy. Hopefully we don’t undo what we’ve gained! And, I’m pretty sure it was thanks to you I discovered Joy Ellis. I’m already halfway through book 2 and was already thinking about getting the third one 🙂
Les in OR – Those side effects were no fun but then I thought imagine how much worse COVID-19 can be. Thank goodness for science and vaccines! Granted I wish I had a few extra days off to make up for the “lost” weekend 🙂
Lark – It really is! I’m looking at my calendar and counting down for the 2 weeks! Like I said, we are still going to be cautious and do the right thing.
Glad to hear you are done with the 2nd vaccine dose! It feels great to be able to resume some of the pre-pandemic activities, even as more careful and cautious citizens. I haven’t done a whole lot yet, mainly because of how busy life got but I am hoping to get a haircut soon.
Congrats on getting the second dose, and you’ve conquered a major hurdle. That being said, the plan to stay cautious even after both the doses is very, very sound. Take care~
Hooray for the second vaccine dose. Sorry to hear about the side effects. I felt pretty rotten for a day or two as well. Enjoy that trip to the bookstore when it finally happens!
