Welcome to my Sunday Summary. A look back on my bookish adventures for the past week.
Last week I posted regrets and did not post a summary on Sunday. The previous was not a good week at my home. My dear son woke up Tuesday a bit snuffly - no big deal, nothing worth keeping him home from school for. That day around the end of lunch time, at work my cell phone rings and my call display tells me it is the school. My sweet but not so graceful boy literally fell on his face! His poor sweet face was a mess. I took him to our children's hospital to ensure that if his nose was broken it would heal correctly. Luckily it was swollen and bloody, but apparently not broken - so thankful for that! On Thursday I had him in for an urgent visit to the dentist to determine if his teeth required any attention as a result of this. His two top front teeth took the hit, and while intact, they were starting to color. Luckily those were still "baby teeth" - my main concern was whether any damage was done to the permanent teeth which were on the verge of pushing those baby teeth out anyways. Thankful yet again for good news - his permanent teeth were not damaged. The snuffles he started out with, turned into a nasty head cold which he shared with us for good measure - my husband getting his for his birthday on Wednesday. My mother's birthday was Saturday and we hosted a double birthday celebration/dinner despite being sick. By Sunday, I just did not have it in me to post my weekly summary. I just wanted to veg on the couch - and so I did.
Thankfully, this past week was a little better. How's your March going?

Ramblings and Miscellany:
Nothing really to report here. I can't even seem to keep up with reviews lately! Hoping to get back on track soon.
We did celebrate International Women's day on social media, as well as marking what would have been Douglas Adams birthday. Is it possible to mourn the loss of books he might have written?
