The Weekly Recap: Good Books and Dead Fish (Week of 10/16/16)
This week I'm linking up The Sunday Post, and Stacking the Shelves.
-MY LIFE-
I must say, this was a very eventful wee for me! So, I'll try to get through everything as quick as I can. Last Sunday I found Stewart, one of my beta fish, on the ground (outside of his bowl=no breathing). Good news, he was still alive! So he got plopped back into his bowl. Bad news, he died that night. This is the second fish that has jumped out of their bowl, so safety measures have been taken, and hopefully this won't happen again. Oh, and I also got another beta fish. His name is Devi. Someone asked me if that's short for Devin, and I had to inform them that they were mistaken. Devi is short for Devil. What else would it be?
I also got a very exciting email from one of my favorite authors this week! So, be on the lookout for reviews of books written by India R. Adams. Saturday was also Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon, and for that I read Blue Waters, and I'm hoping to get another novella fit in there. I guess that's all I have for this week. So, have a fabulous week everybody!

How was your week? Did anything exciting happen? Let me know in the comments!
Aw, sorry to hear about your fish! That would be a shock seeing them on the floor.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the Goddess novella.
All of the Goddess Test books have beautiful covers in my opinion! :)
DeleteDevi is a pretty fish! We had a tank that the fish liked to jump out of once, nothing seemed to stop them though :-/

Ya, I put screens/nets over their bowls hoping that if they do jump they'll hit the screen and land back in the water. So, hopefully it works!
DeleteSo sorry about the fish...the new one sounds..."devilish." lol
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
HAHAHAHAHA!
DeleteSorry your fish have been jumping out of the bowl and hope your new measures means you no longer have to deal with this problem. I have also just acquired Freeks, so I'll be very interested to find out what you make of it:). Have a good week and take care.
ReplyDeleteHope that you enjoy it! :)
DeleteI swear fish have not gotten the memo that exploring outside their bowl is not a good thing. I'm sorry to hear about Stewart, but happy that Devi won't be exploring. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYa, I wonder when they'll understand.
DeleteAwww...I'm sorry to hear about your fish. I hope the new fish won't jump out of its bowl!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Sunday Post!
Catch you over @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog and join in this week’s Book Photo Sundays!
Ya, so far so good!
DeleteOh, definitely a busy week for you. Not so exciting re the fish, but exciting to get an email from your fave author!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw everyone participating in the read-a-thon and meant to cheer you all on, but promptly forgot about it. I blame the time difference here in Australia cos I was probably sleeping! ;-)
Ya, for me it started at 5 am (and we all know that's not happening). ;D
DeleteSadness about your fish. :( I hope the new one does well and stays in his home!! And ooh how are you liking the Goddess Hunt? I'm curious about that series and hopefully will try it someday. :D
ReplyDeleteIt was good! It was only a novella, so it took me a grand total of an hour to read. :)
DeleteI used to have a several aquariums and even had a beta. I don't any more...just don't make the time for them. They are very relaxing to watch.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental My Sunday Memes
They are!
DeleteAha 'Devi', I love that. Also, the book 'Freeks' looks really cool, and it's by Amanda Hocking! I hadn't realised that she was publishing more books, I think I'll go and check it out.
ReplyDeleteFleur @ FranklyBooks just posted What am I? A Sheep. | 4 Books I Haven't Read, Because Someone Else Hates Them
I have never read a book by her before, so I hope that I like it! :)
