Back in the game

Good morning all, it’s been about, almost a month since I last posted and I guess I just needed some downtime. I’ve still been battling this stupid migraine, nausea, tired, insomnia, frustration over finances and trying to keep myself in the reading game. I have been watching a lot of booktubers on YouTube, watching my faves and some new ones. I’ll list some of my favorite booktubers:

*Webebook’n (my Facebook book group and where I started watching booktubers)

*A frolic thru fiction

*Becca and the books

*Books and lala

*Chelsea Palmer-another Facebook book group I’m in

*Codie’s book corner

*Courtagonist (if you’re interested in cozy mysteries)

*Gabby reads
*Hailey in bookland

*Kendra loves books

*Shelby Taggart reads

*Thisstoryaintover

I’ve gotten tons of book recommendations from them and I love watching them. From three of them, I got a book recommendation of never have I ever-joshilyn Jackson. That was an awesome read. I’ve been reading or listening to a lot of audiobooks, when my head tolerates it anyhow,a lot of them have been re reads, and in the words of Chelsea Palmer, “listening to audiobooks is still reading!” It’s how she reads so much and how I do read so much when I can tolerate it.

I’ve just finished the long call by Ann Cleeves
Check out this book on Goodreads: The Long Call http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43263552-the-long-call

I’m participating in the tbr jar challenge in my book club, and the long call was my first read, just picked my second read which is Birthrights-Carly rheilan…. It’s a hidden gems Arc, I’ve had it for over a month and am now halfway through it, it’s good so far, and as long as I keep in it, it’s not hard to follow. So far, it’s about Ana, this Dr in London, who isn’t able to have kids, and in the beginning of the book, which confused me, she looked pregnant, she had actually been wearing a paddy, as they call it there, but she made it herself, a fake maternity belly. I’ll leave the link for Goodreads of it here. I’ve got library books to read and more ARC s, some that have just came out and some that are backlist ARCs, that I’ve gotten from hiddengemsbooks.com and from netgalley.

Ok, I’ve ranted enough here, oh, I’m also participating in Nanowrimo also, trying to be normal despite how I’ve been feeling lately, we’ll see how this goes. Have a blessed day all.
