Weekly Book Wrap-Up #126 – It Is Summer

With the Weekly Book Wrap-Up, I give you a bit of an insight into all the new books that have arrived at my place. No matter if I won a giveaway, got approved for a reviewer´s copy, an ARC, or just bought one myself. Everything that I add to my shelves, in what way ever and read during the past week or am still reading, I will write about it. And maybe I tell you a bit about the upcoming things on Inkvotary, that is if I don´t forget it and have something to share with you *smile*

I am linking up with Tynga´s Reviews and Caffeinated Reviewer and hope you´ll have fun reading it and maybe get the one or the other book inspiration.

Stacking The Shelves #126

I received a review copy from Fischer, a German publisher. Thank you very much. Below you see on the left the English cover, on the right, the German cover.

Sunday Post #83

The good news first. No cancer. After two and a half weeks of waiting, I know now that the tests were all negative. Phew! The bad thing is still, that the myoma has grown significantly within the last eighteen months. The next twelve months will tell if the change in my nutrition plan can solve that or not *fingers crossed*

I used the past week to watch the Perseids shower that was visible during the nights. What a view! Good, I had to put down the sun protection foil I had covered my roof windows with – and which make quite a difference because the apartment is much cooler with it. But it was worth it.

My dad and stepmom came over yesterday for a quick visit to help me with something and it was great to see them in person again after all those months´. The last time I´ve seen them live and in person had been on Christmas afternoon, on the 24th December 2019. So, yay! Being on the phone and talking to a person is a wonderful thing, especially during a Pandemic. But in person is simply the best. A few hours earlier we had been on the phone together and there I heard for the first time, that they avoid going anywhere, except for visiting family, and mostly stay at home because they don´t wanna catch the virus. It finally got into their heads – what a relief. Ok, it is also due to the heat we have during the day that makes them stay at home, but still. It is good to know that I don´t have to worry about them that much anymore.

Here in my state kids still enjoy their summer vacation. But in most of the other states, they are already back in school. With mixed feelings. Some schools had to be closed again after only a few days because a teacher and a handful of kids (not all in one school or state but still) had been tested Corona positive. The next week will show if the new concept is working or not. The rules vary from state to state and critics are not happy with the situation at all, but we will see how things will work out. Yes, as I said before, Germany is far from being perfect when it comes to handling the crisis. But compared to some other countries in Europe or across the big pond, we can´t complain about that. The numbers speak for themselves.

And last but not least. I completed my Goodreads Reading Challenge.

How was your week? Stay safe and healthy.



Happy reading
