Welcome to The Sunday Post #32! The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted at Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share 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. See rules here: Sunday Post Meme. I will also be joining Deb at Readerbuzz for the Sunday Salon.
My Week:
Today is the third anniversary of That Happy Reader. I started the blog when I had a bad injury to my foot which had me unable to ambulate for four months. It gave me something to focus on during that time and of course later as the pandemic began a few months later. I started my blog on blogger and then migrated to WordPress in 2021. Being retired, I love the social aspect of the blogging and book communities and thank each and every one of my readers who have supported me on the way.
My house has been sick this week with all three of us getting a nasty cold or flu – our first ones since before COVID. So we’re trying to lay low and not be around others right now. Hopefully we’ll all feel better in the next few days. Luckily there’s lots to binge-watch on TV including The Crown. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this season and I can certainly see why.
We are still awaiting a decision by our extended warranty provider on whether or not they want to replace the part or not and are therefore still without an oven. For those of you who let me know they were with broken dishwashers right now, I hope they have been repaired or replaced.

What I’m Watching:
I’m looking forward to starting the second and final season of Firefly Lane on Netflix. The series is about two women who have been best friends since childhood and are based on the book by Kristin Hannah. Here’s the trailer:

Sorry to hear your family is dealing with colds right now. I’ve been sick myself… Ever since getting COVID I find I’m ill with something or other every month or so. It’s always annoying to be sick, hope you and yours are all better soon!
Happy blog anniversary!! Such an exciting thing to celebrate. A blog really does bring a certain kind of enjoyment to life.
Wishing you the best for the week ahead!

Congrats! I hope everyone feels better soon. Do you have a crockpot or toaster oven? I suppose there are lots of things you could cook on the stovetop if it is working. Happy reading!

Yes we’ve been barbecuing and using the toaster oven so have been managing fine. Thanks for reading.
Deb Nance at Readerbuzz
We are still without a dishwasher, but I could go much longer without a dishwasher than without an oven. I do hope you are able to get this sorted out soon.
Happy Blogoversary! We are happy you joined the book blogging community three years ago, and we hope you will be here for many, many years to come.

How kind Deb! I hope you get your dishwasher soon too!
