Welcome to The Sunday Post #39! 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:
It’s been a rainy week with higher than average temperatures seeing the atmospheric river that also hit California. No flooding in my immediate area thankfully. We celebrated my Mom’s 82nd birthday with a large family meal which was wonderful. Aside from a a bit of grocery shopping, it’s been a quiet week.

What I’m Watching:
I’m a little late to the game but after watching The Golden Globes this week I’ve discovered White Lotus. For those of you who don’t know, this HBO series follows the guests and employees of a fictional resort. The first season was filmed in Maui. The second season was filmed in Sicily. Here’s the trailer for season one:

Happy birthday to your mom!
I worry about those I know who live close or within the areas that are experiencing flooding. I’m glad you are okay.
The Light We Carry sounds like an inspiring book.

Oh Doc Martin! I somehow never picked it back up after the third season but must do so! I hope you have a wonderful week too Carla.

Happy b-day to your mom! I’m thinking of trying Lotus. Maui appeals to me. And maybe Sicily too!

The show has lovely scenery and some interesting characters Greg!

Hope it doesn’t get any wetter where you are. The news from California sounds dire. Keep safe.
I have a copy of The Second You’re Single and love that title.

Terrie @ Bookshelf Journeys
I read Michelle Obama’s first book and her writing style is really good – I may get around to this one too. Hope the flooding stays away and actually stops in the rest of CA!

I enjoyed her first book too Terrie! I hope you stay dry too!
Wendy Williams
The rain that is hitting the west coast is crazy. My sisters live in So. Cal, and it’s been raining like crazy there. Here in AZ we’re getting a lot of snow too from the storms. Can’t wait to read your reviews of Georgie All along and The Light we Carry. Have a great week, Jodie. I hope you can stay dry.
