I put it on my price drops list. I could get KU but I'd forget to cancel it and I have too much to read already. A good problem to have.
I put to cancel KU on my calendar a day or two before times up. I got my last 3 months of KU for free because every now and they offer freebies or discounts on KU. Check KU out.

Hoping you all had a good holiday.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday. My husband got Covid for Christmas; he is banished to the bedroom. Fortunately, so far, neither I or our son and daughter have it. Since this is his second time getting it, and he had the original Covid virus, we are hoping he won't get too sick. As my Nana used to say, there's always something, honey.

Roberta2--- Grandma always knows best. Hope your spouse is OK.

Carol, that sounds wonderful. We went to my sister's house. Good to be with family.
Roberta2, ouch. I hope your husband recovers quickly.
Happy Third Day of Christmas to All! Besides giving three calling birds to your true love, remember what is celebrated today. It's the Feast of St. John, who, apparently, drank poisoned wine without dying or even becoming ill. Now we celebrate this by drinking lots of wine. Enjoy!Hope your husband is feeling much better already, Roberta2.

I just ate some wonderful Brunswick stew that my husband made in the crockpot. I think I'll follow it up with a beer...I hope your husband is felling better, Roberta. :( Not one of his best Christmases.
Mod
How are things with you?
Seasons greetings to all - just finished re-reading Mary Lancaster's Crime and Passion series. Mysterious Lover
It's a great series with an interesting couple who solve mysteries.
Mod
Thanks for checking in. Seasons greetings to you too!
A series w/ a couple who solves mysteries- sounds interesting.
I'm taking next week off and doing as little as possible. I'm too tired to read. :(

A well-deserved respite for you!
Carla Kelly has two new books coming out this year. Was very happy for that good news. https://www.amazon.com/Unlikely-Gun-W...

Happy New Year ladies
Thanks! I will watch for them. I follow Carla Kelly on Amazon but I don't always get notices, for some reason.

It hasn't turned out to be a respite at all. Lots of stuff and decisions about the house to be made or handled.
HappyBookWorm2020 wrote: "It hasn't turned out to be a respite at all. Lots of stuff and decisions about the house to be made or handled."I'm sorry to hear that. It must be exhausting. I hope sometime soon you will be able to get some rest and peace of mind.

Eh, I'm not even going to suggest that 'maybe the worst is over'. That's tempting fate.
My son has also tested positive for covid.
Does anyone here know if it is okay to go to a doctor for covid after you start getting better - for lingering ailments such as chest congestion?
Can you get a phone consultation from your doctor. Who may be able to then tell you if you need to go see him or her.I done this the last time I needed the doctor. Gave me a prescription and told me to make an appointment if the pills didn’t work. They did work, saved sitting in a waiting room with people sneezing and coughing around me.
I have noticed a lot of people wearing mask again. And quite a few people have been Ill who I know, with Covid symptoms .
Hope you feel better soon.
HappyBookWorm, Yes, your son can go to the doctor if he has lingering ailments after having Covid. Is he testing negative? Some doctors do do tele visits. He may need antibiotics or a chest xray?My husband is negative and has had no symptoms for days now. None of us got it; he had to eat Christmas dinner in his room on a tray. I just moved back into our room last night.
Our daughter is flying back to San Francisco today and is wearing a mask.
OLT, I decided to do a dry January, but it has more to do with my perpetual attempt to lose some weight.
My son has not had a bad case and my husband is feeling much better, and is fever free. Both of them chowed down on Chinese food and hot and sour soup and claimed it made them feel better, particularly the soup. Happy New Year to all of you!
I have been listening to an audio book while driving, and really like it. I'm not quite finished yet. A young woman listening for Nazi intel during WWII picks up a signal from the future.

Happy New Years! I haven't been reviewing at all, trying to get use of my leg back. Evidently there is a strong connection between leg, hand and brain. Who knew? I'm starting back with an easy book, a delightful book, a charming book.l Did I mention I really like it? Christina Dodd's A Daughter of Fair Verona

Hope your loved ones will be OK.
Maureen---
Sorry to hear about your leg. Are you temporarily using a wheelchair?
Mod
Cousins & bro have treated the women helping us make this happen IE my SIL & former SIL like this is the 1950s & they had to adhere to the male course of action. Bro was "born again" yrs ago and doesn't realize God knows his thoughts/ words/ actions before they even happen. What a relief to soon have no contact w/ these 3 backward males.
^Yay! Hope this means you no longer have to stress about this particular issue. (P.S. I have brothers and I know what you mean about bossy - or I guess maybe a kind of self-assurance where it doesn't occur to them that other perspectives matter too)
Mod
They repeated themselves after an issue was already settled. My SIL signed over her portion via a quit-claim deed to me & bro. They kept questioning was this sufficient? Title co. attorney already said it was. They should've thanked my SIL - the deal
was dead w/o her cooperation.
Yes, other POVs do matter. Each of the 3 tried to prove he was the smartest. Tiresome.
HR-ML,They sound like my brother-in-law

Yes male competition can be tedious. How do you handle comments made by your BIL?

I would love to see that. i know I could probably get it on my laptop but it wouldn't be the same. Please too much noise around.
Hope you are all doing well. The weather here is miserable. Phil and Noah seem to be fully recovered from covid - I have a lingering cough but may go to work tomorrow, and will try to get an appointment with my doctor.

The rest of the family didn't have that problem. It never hurts to check with your doctor though.

My DIL is fine now.

Just to rule out a possible sinus infection, etc. Naturally, I am feeling better *now* but usually I feel worse in the morning.
Hope everyone here has enjoyed their day. It's much colder than usual here - I actually had to put on a jacket. I'm ready for this arctic air to go back where it came from.
