Wellβ¦ Covid has run amuck in my house. As one gets over it another gets sickβ¦. I was the third one and as Iβm getting over it my husband is now sick.ππ€·ββοΈ So far it has lasted about 3-5 days this go round. But it just sucks that we havenβt been able to enjoy our last days of summer since School starts tomorrow!! My son will be a tenth grader π³π₯° hope all is well with all the readers out there!!!
I’m very lucky it’s just the 2 of us and my husband (who has it currently) is quarantining in the bedroom without complaining (too much). I hope your family gets better soon!
Thanks!! We are on the mend! My husband is the only one who is stubborn about taking something for his head congestion! But he is better. This has been a short version then the first time around last year.
I’m so sorry for all of my Covid book-crew. I HATE having a cold, even worse a flu, so I can’t imagine how bad this one’s gonna feel.
I hope everyone feels better soon, and I hope this just makes us all that much stronger.
Yes, we are down with Covid 4th time. Our area is rampant. But good for reading and listening guilt free. I really love Julian Whelan. Thanks for listening. A long extremely well written novel. I love that she didnβt make it into 3 books. Her first book My Oxford Year hooked me to her talent. She narrates with so many characters.
Another I finished is Run Rose Run. Another long exciting story about a musician. Dolly Parton narrates written by James Patterson. Excellent read.
Feel better! I can’t wait to read (or listen to) TFL!
Yeah, Iβve been reading a lot and listening a lot! Found some good ones on my down time. Hope you feel better soon!!!
Ruby Fever (the final book in the Hidden Legacy series) by Ilona Andrews is up for preorder. It goes live on the 23rd. Somehow have to figure out how to read that and Soul Taken on the same day. π
Thank you Jami! I’ll add it to the list. π

Thank you Aimee!!! Adding it to the Friday Finds. π
This week we all have covid at the cottage – thanks to our grandson’s day care. Luckily it’s coming in batches, so there’s always someone who can care for others. Symptoms are mild & last 3-5 days. First time for all of us.
Still the weather is nice & we’re spending time outside.
Your Covid house sounds like ours! Luckily we are all over it and my husband was the last to catch it but heβs day 4 and fine . Crazy how the end of July last year was the first time that we all had it! And we catch it at the end of July this yearβ¦ hope you all are on the mend with no major issues!!!
I had a sore throat and a headache a few days ago (and I was like… here it is!!). But by the end of the day it was gone, and hasn’t come back, so either I slept wrong, or I caught a little virus but just not that one.
My daughter and son both started with a headache and a sore throatβ¦. Both tested positiveβ¦ but their symptoms only lasted 3days
