Sunday Salon hosted by Readerbuzz is simply a place for us to link up and to share what we have been doing during the week. Sunday Salon is a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
I had a great week off and for the most part did most of what I wanted, mainly biking, virtual decluttering and reading. My Netgalley backlog is quickly dwindling and I've enjoyed the books that had been sitting on that list forever.
There was just one unexpected event: the death of my 17-year old cat Blaise. She had been sick and we finally had to put her down, which was one of the hardest things I ever did. Broke my heart. She was such a sweet cat. We miss her dearly.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever-growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.

ReplyDeleteI’m sorry for the loss of your cat :(
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you were able to enjoy your break though.
Wishing you a great reading week
So sorry to hear about your cat. Hopefully you will have a better week next week.
ReplyDeleteIt is always so hard to lose a pet. Blaise looks a lot like our cat. 17 years is a good life. I've been concentrating on my Netgalley reads this year too, some have been there over two years. It's so satisfying to see the list reduce.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your cat, they are such big parts of the family.
ReplyDeleteBecause I was away from blogging for nearly four years I had to create a new Netgalley account and for once it looks good, how long that will last I do not know!
I'm sorry to hear about your cat but seventeen is a good long life and I'm sure you have great memories. Nice looking group of books too. I need to check out NetGalley and Edelweiss and add some review books. My stack is getting low. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about Blaise!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books, and I'm curious about The Woman in Red. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
If you like historical fiction with real historical figures you will enjoy this one.
Deletethe loss of a 'family' member is always hard. sorry to hear about blaise.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
So sorry about your cat.
ReplyDeleteOops, I didn't expect to have my comment show - usually I try to post and it disappears! I'm going to look up Summerset Abbey. Have a better week, Laura. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh that happens to me too sometimes on some blogs when I try to leave a comment. So frustrating!
DeleteSo sorry about your cat. Hard to lose a beloved pet. Hope this week is a better one for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your cat. We lost our son's cat in January and I miss her. She was small and sweet. Yours looks small too.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of good looking books this week. The Annie Oakley books sound like fun.
I hope this week is better and enjoy your reading.
Thank Martha, I do miss my Blaise a lot. I'm loving the Annie Oakley books.
