I am very behind on my posting and yet I have many books to share and compare. Hoping this week I can finish writing up the Brideshead Revisited review for my Classics Club list and then I will be very sporadic posting.
The reason for my preoccupation is we have sold our house. Yea! But that also means the clock is ticking on closing and finalizing the purchase/contract of another house so we have been busy. My week has been a mission of finding boxes and packing things I don't need now such as puzzles, winter clothing, photo albums, etc.
That said, I need the mental escape of reading (even if it's not as much as I usually read) and I'm still on for planned buddy reads for Ferrante and Pilcher upcoming. 📚
I may be slow answering comments but be assured I will. Love my book buddies and keeping up so I'll see you when I see you!
I leave you with photo of Loki enjoying his dental treat. He tends to hold them upright to get maximum chew.
We are big fans of dental treats here. Wow I bet things are hectic with prepping to move! I don't think I got any reading done last time we moved but that escape is definitely needed. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteKatherine, it is hard to carve some time out for reading but I think most of the gathering of paperwork is done (I hope) for now and it's down to boxing up items. I still have time so...taking it bit by bit.
DeleteYour life is certainly busy! Congratulations on selling your home! Yes…I love what you wrote: “the mental escape of reading”. So true! Loki looks so happy with his treat!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! It's a lot to wrap my head around right now!
DeleteAre you moving to another town or staying in the town you live in? Loki is so cute!
ReplyDeleteVicki, a neighboring town so the moving won't be far away to another state. Makes some things easier. Loki says hi to Kaiyo. :-)
DeleteOh my gosh! I didn't realize your house was on the market! Congratulations. You are going to be busy, aren't you? Sweet photo of Loki!
ReplyDeleteLes....so much to do. It's more mentally exhausting right now. It happened so fast!
DeleteWoo hooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Congrats on selling your house! Where are you moving to? Loki is too cute with his treat! Hope all goes well with the purchase of your new home!
ReplyDeleteJinjer, thanks so much! It's so much to do but i am pacing myself. Loki will be displeased but all of us will be glad to have a single story home.
DeleteI'm so excited for you! It will be a fun adventure during the upcoming weeks and months, getting boxed up and resettled. I hope your new home is all you want in a home. Good luck, Tina!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Deb. We are very excited. We've never had internet access so that alone will be a treat.
DeleteI know that lack of internet access has always been a problem. So glad you are moving to a place where communication with all of us who enjoy your blog can be easier!
DeleteCongrats on your house sale! Love Loki's pic. He's happy wherever you are. I'm sure you will find a place you like a lot and will work better for you now. I know moves can be difficult but I think you'll be geared for it. Just take the time you need away.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan. Loki is aware of the packing up of books and DVDs etc but e always stays close. You are correct, he willl be happy where we are. We are going to the new house today to take measurements and see where some of our furniture will go. Whew!
DeleteLoki is too darn cute with that grin. Yay on selling the house! It is a big deal but it will be so nice to get rid of stuff you don't need.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ti. You wouldn't believe the amount we have given away already yet there is still so much left. 33 years in a house means accumulation.
DeleteMoving is a big deal! Take care of yourself in whatever way works best for you.
ReplyDeleteJoy, I hope to carve out a little bit of down time to read books and blogs in between signing things, packing, etc. Thank you!
