Nomi’s Weekly Wrap Up is a combined meme with the Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer, Bought, Borrowed and Bagged hosted by Braine @ Talk Supe and Stacking The Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews. I’ll share news, post a recap of the past week and tell you what will be happening on my blog in the week ahead. I will also tell you about the books and goodies that I have managed to pick up.
Well, it has been a miserable first week of the school holidays… cold and wet! We managed to get out for a day to the shops and at the end of the week we all went to my Aunts to see my cousin before he leaves Australia and heads to Canada for a wedding and working holiday. We also celebrated my Grandmother’s 85th birthday!
Blogging – I haven’t spent a lot of time on the computer, but I managed to get a lot of reading done! I am scheduling some posts for August already (I know… crazy!!) and slotting extras into July. I still need to get my giveaways organised for my blogoversary, so stay tuned! I hope to get back to regular commenting once school goes back, but for now Thank You to all those who still pop by!

Aws happy birthday to the grams! Mine just turned 85 too and had her birthday on the 29th :)
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to get ahead on my posts, it makes things so much easier and gives more time to read.
ReplyDeleteHope your grandmother had a great birthday!
Have a great week Naomi!!! Happy Reading :)
Ooh! You've got some interesting looking NA/Adult contemporary books. I'm curious about Rachel Harris' book! I love her YA ones, so I think I might enjoy those.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading! :)
Nick - My Haul
Sounds like you had a great week. I swear when school is out and I'm on break my reading and stuff gets so far behind even though I think I will have more time. That was nice you got to celebrate some things with your family. Love the review of Take Me On and I am glad you got some reading done this week. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the weather but hopefully it will get better soon. That's impressive on your posts. I'm lucky if I'm a full week ahead! I love when I get a book I'm dying for from NetGalley. It's like Christmas! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSins and secrets sounds like it will be good. Hope you enjoy and have a great coming week. Its hard to balance when you've had a routine and then breaks or vacations or soimething out of ordinary
ReplyDeleteI'm curious over TWolf's books, for some reason I'm drawn to her lately. Will have to check this soon...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to grandma!! I'll trade you weather for a day. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! I loved Sins & Secrets! Hope this is a better week, and dryer. :)
ReplyDeleteHope this week is awesome for you and MISTER BLACK *waves hands in the air* :)
ReplyDeleteEEP! Accidentally Married On Purpose! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some great reads, Naomi. I'm glad you've had a chance to catch up on some reading. That's always nice. I just got back from a visit to my family in Texas and I was away from the computer, too. It was nice. :) I hope your weather is improving and you and the kids get some outdoor time in!
ReplyDeletep.s. which Tracy Wolff series should I start with?!?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am getting a lot done and the weather improved slightly!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely love some sun!! lol
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I will! thanks Jessica!
ReplyDeleteI still have to read it! Soon I hope!
ReplyDeleteMy Aunts and Cousin headed to Canada, so we had to do it early. Hers is actually Aug 18th
ReplyDeleteIt does make it easier. I have hardly been on the computer during the holidays, because it bogs me down. So hard to catch up though!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you would enjoy it. She is a great author!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I read a lot, but stayed away from the computer. Built cubby houses and all the fun stuff!! lol
ReplyDeleteHaha!! Yes, NetGalley always sucks me in! And I can't handle NOT being ahead in posts! If things get too close, I get worried!! lol
ReplyDeleteI know! I am trying hard to catch up now. Been on the computer for 2 1/2 hours already, catching up on comments.... then I need to visit! Soon!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do. I have enjoyed her work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christy! It was a fun day, and yes, please send me a sun day!!
ReplyDeleteOooh.... I'll have to bump it up the list!!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! Bring on Scarlett Red girl... I LOVED that book!
ReplyDeleteI know!! I am getting super organised... I do love it!
ReplyDeleteI did!! Thanks Valerie!!
ReplyDeleteIt improved a little, but the kids were happy to hang inside. Hope you had a nice trip!
ReplyDeleteGo the Extreme Risk series!!
ReplyDeleteScheduling for posts in Augusts, wow! I am barely able to schedule posts for the next week, let alone the next month. I applaud your ability to be organized!!
