Sunday Post, Sunday Salon, Mailbox Monday and It's Monday What Are You Reading? Nov 22 Edition


Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share our news. A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.


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. 


Another tough but satisfying work week. I caught up watching the rest of the Madalorian episodes and now I'm waiting for the fifth one of Season 2 to come out. I played Beat Saber with my son this weekend. It's a VR rhythm game that takes place in a surrealistic neon noir environment and features the player slicing blocks representing musical beats with a pair of contrasting colored sabers. I love it since it allows me to work on my eye-hand coordination which is good for our brains, especially as we age.

Hope you are all well. Stay safe and take care of each other.


Mailbox Monday Edition



Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Mailbox Monday now has a permanent home on its blog. Link up to share your MM.


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.


What I reviewed and/or featured last week:
 

A well-written Austenesque historical fiction novel that I enjoyed immensely.


A guest review of a fun, intriguing, and delightful cozy mystery with fun characters—and a good mystery to boot.


This is an interesting collection of poems from a man in touch with his feelings, his creativity, and his inspirations.


Check out some of the books on the topic of neuroscience that I love to read

  3. Beat Saber reminds me of a mini- game from the old Wii Sports Resort game haha. Minus the VR part, Those are fun.

    1. VR makes it such an all encompassing game because all your senses are on high alert. I'm enjoying it!

  6. I think I’d be terrible at that game. Coordination is not my thing! I’m surprised I can walk without falling on my face. Have a good week!

    Aj @ Read All The Things!

    1. But you've taken on running so your coordination can't be that bad. ;-)

  7. I hope reading and crosswords are enough to keep my brain active. I haven’t had a chance to try a VR game, I’d like to though.

    Wishing you a great reading week

  8. The Paris Dressmaker cover stopped me in my tracks. The word "Paris" is usually enough to add a book to my TBR, but that cover adds to the book's allure.

    I've enjoyed Nonfiction November so much this year. I've ended up with a wonderful list of books to look for.

    I've never played a VR game, nor even a video game, I guess, but it sounds like great fun.

  9. So many tempting books to add to my list, beginning with The Paris Dressmaker. Enjoy your upcoming week, and here are my WEEKLY UPDATES

  10. I offer supplementary reading classes at school and part of it is a computer "game" that mainly develops your cognitive skills. I mainly have youngsters but it's soooo good for adults as well! We need to keep those cognitive skills as sharp as a knife.

    The Paris Dressmaker has the most gorgeous cover.

    Happy reading and have a great weekend.

  14. My husband and I had intended to wait until all Mandalorian season 2 episodes were released before we started watching it. That resolution didn't even last a week so now we're anxiously awaiting each new episode along with the rest of the world!

    The Paris Dressmaker book has a beautiful cover.

    Enjoy your week!
