Weekend Book Sharing and Blog Visits
It's the weekend, so it must be time to enjoy a few of my favorite book memes. This is a great opportunity for readers and bloggers to share what they've been up to - both newly received books, what you've read or want to read and any bookish or personal news/updates.
I'll be linking to: Stacking the Shelves is hosted every Saturday by Marlene @ Reading Reality The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb @ ReaderBuzz, Mailbox Monday hosted by Words and Peace is also a weekly gathering place to share new books received. Join me in visiting the wide array of book blogs in the world.

I added 19 books to my TBR wish list this week.
PERSONAL UPDATE
I'm over covid with seemingly no lingering effects but hubby is still testing positive and feeling sick at day 14 - sigh. Thanks for all the well wishes last week - it's very heartwarming. We had an annual family joint birthday celebration planned for this weekend which we postponed due to --- covid. I'm back at work and all is slowly returning to normal.
A PAINTING BY TERRIE PURKEY - CELEBRATING ARTISTIC ENDEAVORS
In Tuesday's Top 20 Tuesday bookish goals for the year, one of the things I listed is Balance - trying to find balance in my life to enjoy all of my creative endeavors, not just blogging.
Here's a couple watercolor paintings from a few years ago when I was really focusing on trees..... I miss painting.
Hope you have a most excellent upcoming week and hopefully finding time to enjoy a good book. Looking forward to visiting as many as I can again this week!
