AVR News Update
Hello and Happy Sunday! Kids are back to school and life is settling down into some sort of normalcy even if Mother Nature continues to act like she's suffering from PMS and she's out of chocolate. We may have had record low temps for NC. I was too busy not freezing my nipples off to check the stats. I had to break out the vestiges of my Ohio life: ski headband, gloves and muffler or as the product says 'gaiter' which sounds too much like goiter to me. Anyway, we suffered in the single digits with it in the negatives when the wind chill was added. Unheard of for around here. But we were back up into the 50s and even popped into the 60s yesterday. That is just fucked up. Pardon my so-called French.
The family are still battling colds, but nothing serious, only irritating. My stepdaughter made a trip to the ER when she hadn't felt the baby move for over 18 hrs. However, as soon as they hooked up the monitor she went crazy, so I guess she was just taking a break. 6 weeks (possibly less) to go until our granddaughter arrives. I am so not ready to be a gramma. Ah, well. Such is life. Adapt and overcome, or end up on Jerry Springer, right? Wait...is he even still on the air?

That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.

Only a few and they're no longer free. Plus, I'm really late with this post (well, later than I wanted to be), so I'll skip them.
Enjoy your new reads...and stay warm! It's been brutal here in NY, but this weekend we're enjoying 40's and 50's...and the sun just came out after drenching rains.
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday post: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2014/01/sundays-weekly-book-recap-49.html
Thanks! It's not going to be too bad. Much more normal temps for around here. We had it raining like Niagra Falls yesterday. So glad the sun is out today. :)
DeleteI have been eyeing the Grimm Fairy Tales but I refuse to add anymore books to my netgalley dashboard but I REALLY want it :)
ReplyDeleteOMG in NJ it has been soooo cold and it rained yesterday and was so foggy this weather is so bizzare but it makes life a little more interesting :)
I wish when I was preg my littles took a break for a bit both of mine moved 24/7 Like they were redecorating...I miss those feelings :)
Have a great week
Michelle
Because reading is better than real life
I'm going to do a Showcase Saturday with graphic novels. That's why I picked up 3 of them. :)
DeleteMy kids moved all the time too. And I miss that feeling, but not giving birth. lol
Thanbks! You, too! :)
A light week this time around. We were even colder up here but that's more normal for us. I can't imagine being in NC and being that cold.
ReplyDeleteYou'll love being a grandma and best wishes to your stepdaughter for a smooth remainder of her pregnancy.
I need a week or several where I get nothing. Like *that's* going to happen. LOL
DeleteI'm sure I will. It'll just be weird since my youngest is 13. :D Thanks!
Hope the weather warms up soon! I'm finally getting some nice weather haha. Hope you enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing & stopping by Bookmunchies!
Today wasn't bad. And I don't think we're due to get anywhere near as cold as it was. lol
DeleteThanks! :)
So glad the babe was fine, and yes my family in NC was in shock this week. I am looking forward to being a Grandma but kids need mates first..LOL Have a lovely week my friend.
ReplyDeleteLOL I bet they were. It was surreal, but we made it through with a lot of help from the kerosene heater. :)
DeleteThanks! You, too!
Eff the cold . lol. Oh gosh, glad the grandbaby is okay! That would be scary. Good lookin' books, Carol! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteExactly! LOL Thanks, we're glad, too.
DeleteThanks! You, too! :)
The Monster Within looks SOOOO GOOD!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought so, too and it's 572 pages! Great Scott! O.O
DeleteLOL I hear you on the weather. 60's sounds pretty good right about now. We're in the 40's and THAT feels good after last week.
ReplyDeleteRed Sonja, Will o Wisp and Grimm Fairy tales all sound pretty good.
Oh, this weather! Yeesh! lol
DeleteI'm planning a Showcase Saturday with graphic novels, so I'm totally justifying my trip to NetGalley. And the other 2 books will be a Two for Tuesday. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;)
Loved your description of Mother Nature -- it couldn't be more true! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks! lol Have a great week, too! :)
DeleteWow you got a ton of books! Spare Hearts looks yummy!!! Happy Reading :)
ReplyDeleteLindy@ A Bookish Escape
Not as many as I usually collect, but that's a good thing. At least, that's what I keep telling myslef. LOL Thanks! :)
DeleteWhere I live we've been having some warm weather for this time of the year, although today we had a slightly colder day.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of any of the books you got this week, I hope you enjoy them!
I hopes so, too. Thanks! :)
DeleteOur weather has been crazy, too. We started last week with frigid temps and ended with temps in the 50's. Lots of rain, but that's better than lots of snow :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books!
I don't know what is going on with the weather, but it needs to get itself together. lol We actually wouldn't mind a bit of snow. It's pretty scarce here in NC. *pouts*
DeleteSpare Hearts looks good, hope you enjoy
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Thanks! :)
DeleteI've been trying so hard to resist NetGalley until I get more caught up! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI was too until I saw the email about the graphic novels available. I decided right then to do a Showcase Saturday with at least 3 of them and these fit the bill just right. :) Thanks!
DeleteCongrats on the coming granddaughter...exciting times ahead!
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with your new books, but Spare Hearts has piqued my interest. Enjoy them all...and thanks for visiting my blog.
Thank you! :)
DeleteSpare Hearts is supposed to be a humorous romance. I'm looking forward to reading it. Thanks and you're welcome. :)
"I was too busy not freezing my nipples off to check the stats." That made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the baby! :D And oh, hope you have a great week ahead of you :)
My Sunday Post
The nipples, thankfully, made it through the cold weather intact. As my husband said, "If you freeze your nipples off how are you going to know when it's cold?" LOL
DeleteThanks and thanks! :)
It was damned cold! Glad you made it through and things are returning to normalcy. We are attempting that here too. :) And very glad all is healthy with the baby. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was ridiculous! And I've been here long enough (nearly 17 yrs) that I am not used to that kind of cold weather anymore. lol
DeleteThank you! :)
You may think you are not ready to be a grandparent, but it won't be long until you forget what life was like before!! Nice book haul and I hope your nipples remain in place!! *wink* For me... we are heading into a heat wave in Aus .... 40'C+ (104'F+) for the whole week!! yay!
ReplyDeleteThanx for visiting My Weekly Wrap-Up!
Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
I figure that's the truth! lol And the nipples are happily still in place. ;)
DeleteWow! That's pretty hot. I bitch when it gets in the 90s. lol
Ha! Mother Nature made it slightly chilly over here. Florida weather has been a bit ridiculously warm for a while. Happy your stepdaughter's baby was alright! That would have scared me as well. I was supposed to do the same thing with NetGalley and I have a plan too. Hopefully both our plans work out :D
ReplyDeleteI think Mother Nature took some bribes from the Arctic. It wanted to travel but needed Her to get down this far. lol
DeleteThanks! The grandbaby seems to be doing ok.
*lifts a box of chocolate in salute* Here's to both our plans working. :)
Gah, we are right there with you...The south is ridiculous in the winter...it was freezing last week, today was 64...I'm glad everything is okay with the baby!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently stalking Edelwiess because Harper doesn't seem to want to approve me, so i keep clicking request. Worst case scenario they approve me for all of them....best case scenario...they approve me for all of them, lol. I hope you enjoy your new books and have a great (hopefully warmer) week!
Exactly! And thanks! :)
DeleteLOL at best & worst cases. One of these days I'll be brave enough to look around Edelweiss. The way I am around NetGalley though makes me think I should run far away from Edelweiss. :D
Cold weather is just nasty. Like Naomi, I've been stuck with a heat wave and I've run out of clothes I can decently take off in public. Last week it hit 43 degrees celsius (109 fahrenheit) and I just melted. I wonder if the cold weather affected your step-daughter's bub and it decided to hibernate.
ReplyDeleteI just wish it would pick a happy medium and stay there for awhile. All this up, down, up, down, etcetc is getting ridiculous. 109º?! Yikes! I bet you are now rethinking the clothes you can indecently take off, right? lol
DeleteAnd hibernating is certainly a possibility for the little one. It was cold enough!
LOL mother nature is always in a constant state of PMS here but we finally had our first 'official snow'. It didn't melt this time around and the temperature is dropping. I wish I could just stay home and drink hot chocolate and never have to leave :P
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adored Hold me Closer, Necromancer so I cannot wait to see what you thought! :D
Happy Reading!! :D
That would be great, wouldnt' it? :)
DeleteI loved it! I couldn't put it down.
The weather has been pretty bad this winter. I am already looking forward to Spring now. :) Enjoy the new books.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my Sunday Post.
I've never seen such crazy weather. I think we're going to have another wet Spring, too. *sigh*
DeleteThe weather has been like that here in the NE too -- freezing, then unseasonably warm, like today. Very weird!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by! Jen @ YA Romantics
The weather needs to pick a season instead of rolling them all up together. Jeez!
DeleteI hope the weather warms up for you soon. We're expecting a few stinking hot days this week here in Australia so I'll either be gorging on ice cream or sitting in the pool turning into a prune. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteSharon
It's not too bad today. It was very foggy this morning, but it seems to have cleared out and the sunnis shining brightly. :)
DeleteMmmm...ice cream and a pool. Sounds lovely. Enjoy!
