First, I'd like to say that I'd like more interaction on my blog. I'm really good at commenting back, so if you're interested in visiting my blog and interacting, I will do the same on your blog. Please let me know in the comments, and I'll be visiting you!
This week my daughter returned to school and my husband returned to work after having a week off for spring break. I've been really sick and sleeping on and off due to a respiratory infection. To top it off I've had problems dealing with my daughter's IEP. Anyone that has a child with special needs knows that it seems like you always have a battle to fight, in order to advocate and give your child a "voice." The system is broken. My escape from real life is getting lost in a book. Hopefully, next week is better.

Hope you're feeling better! And I think that's one of the best parts of being a reader- being able to escape real life and stress for a while!
ReplyDeleteHope it's a better week and that your reads are good! :)
Thank You Greg!
DeleteFeel better, Lindy. Yes, the battles for all the needs of a child being included in an IEP are never ending it seems. I applaud you for being the parent your girl needs and working to get what she needs even if its not always successful.
ReplyDeleteI got that freebie, too. Loved Rome's Chance! I'm still reading Smoke and Key. Hoping to finish it today.
Yes, come and visit any time like you already do. I like to visit back as well. :)
Thanks for the encouragement! It gets exhausting!
DeleteFeel better soon! In the meantime I hope that you enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteThank You! I'm getting there :)
DeleteHope you feel better soon! Sorry to hear about the IEP issues. I remember with my oldest the school kept pushing to get one.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Thanks Tonya! You too!!
DeleteHope you're feeling better! I haven't seen The Evil Queen, but it looks fun. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie! Oh yes, I'm so excited to read, The Evil Queen! It looks like it's going to be such a fun read!
DeleteSorry to hear you're having troubles with IEP. The school system can be really difficult to deal with. Bravo to you for keeping up the fight.
ReplyDeleteI hope to get to The Unhoneymooners soon, but I have a few books to go before I can get to it. I read (listened to the audio) my first Kylie Scott just recently and loved it, so I snapped up Drive on an Audible sale. I'll try and stop by more often. It's hard finding blogs that comment back sometimes, right? :)
Yay! I love Kylie Scott! I've being seeing a lot of positive reviews for her newest book on audible! I'm excited to check it out :)
DeleteOh no! I hope you feel better soon if you aren't currently. Looks like you did a lot of reviewing so far this week! Good for you. The Cassandra Clare book is on my want list too!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's IEP issues. As a School Psychologist I know issues can arise and teachers aren't always the best for advocating for children over themselves. If you need any help advocating or navigating any documents let me know. I'd be more than happy to help!
I grabbed Royally Screwed as well and good choice with the Reaper book, I enjoy that series very much!!
Have a great week!!
Sharrice @Reese's Reviews
Thanks so much Sharrice! Yes, I had a pretty good week in reviewing :) We like a lot of the same types of books!
DeleteI love receiving comments on my blog and I make sure I return every comment I receive on my blog. Oh you can also join us on the 'Comment 4 comment challenge' as well. I hope you have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteGayathri @ Elgee Writes
Thanks Gayathri! I'm definitely going to join your challenge! I'd love to visit more blogs and interact more! How fun :)
DeleteI hope you have a better week, and I have had clients with IEP experiences that show how frustrating the system can be.
ReplyDeleteFeel better, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Thanks Laurel!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better, Lindy. I have been sick too. :-( I am sorry to hear about your troubles with the IEP. It seems to be the way everywhere from talking with friends who have similar struggles. It really shouldn't be that way. We should be working for our kids, not against them. And it feels sometimes like we aren't doing that.
ReplyDeleteYour new books look good! I have a Gena Showalter book on my shelf to read that keeps calling to me. I may have to get to it soon.
I hope you have a good week, Lindy!
Thank You! I hope you have a good week too ��. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteWow, first I's like to say your blog is beautiful! Second, I hope you feel better soon, and third, I also have a child on an IEP , so I know the drama.
ReplyDeleteThank You! Oh yes, IEP parents are in a special club! LOL
DeleteHope you feel better soon! I like Joanna Wylde's Reapers... Shades Lady is my favourite and that's one of the 1001 Nights imprint too.
ReplyDeleteI love Joanna Wylde too, but need to catch up with Eli's book! I loved Shade's Lady too :)
DeleteI hope you are feeling better. Enjoy your books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne!
DeleteOh, I loved that Joanna Wylde book. The series as a whole has been a huge win for me.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better. Thanks for sharing!
Oh yes! Joanna Wylde is one of my favorite authors! Thanks Angie :)
DeleteThe change in weather always seems to provoke respiratory illnesses, I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week :)
Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out- MY POST
Thanks Shelleyrae!!!
DeleteSorry that you got sick. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Sunday Post!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
Thanks Ronyell!
DeleteI hope you are feeling much better. I also tend to escape into my books. My daughter has had such health issues; she ended up with an IEP which accademically was fine but they and even me didn't give her much support for her physical illness and pain. It was all a push - you've got to finish high school. Now we are working harder to find answers for her pain and other issues.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to talk with you on the blogs. Have a better week!
Anne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
Thanks Anne! Yes, my daughter has a lot of pain too. I've been trying to help her as well. It's such a challenge :( I'll be visiting your blog! Have a great week!
DeleteI'm sorry to hear your week was so rough. Hopefully this week will be better and you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Thanks Maureen! I'm finally feeling better, but now my husband has it. Have a great week!
DeleteAwww Sorry to hear about your rough week! I agree reading is an escape. I'm happy you found my blog and I was able to find yours. It's been fun visiting you back. (Even if I'm soooo slow sometimes!)❤️ Happy reading and hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy too! I love visiting you and reading you're reviews!
