I'm so excited that it is officially the last day of winter today. We have been having some beautiful days but the nights have still been a little cold. I am not a lover of the cold weather and I'm happy to be looking forward to warm, even hot, days ahead.

Ditto was again rushed to emergency last week with severe asthma and a double chest infection. His mother stayed with him and had to carry the burden of worry alone as due to covid-19 restrictions no one was allowed to visit, not even his father and sister. The doctors were amazing, so I've been told, and Ditto was a little trooper through-out the whole ordeal. He is home again now and running riot.
Our garden is beginning to bloom and we spent the last weekend gardening and planting new plants in the garden beds. We are also having a go at beans and tomatoes. We have had a little success with them before.
I am looking forward to bringing you my reviews of the children's picture books from Empowering Resources. They are a publisher of high-quality children's picture books and junior novels that nurture, educate and empower children. Their aim is to encourage meaningful conversations in homes and in classrooms.
I look forward to your reviews of the picture books as I am currently doing a course on writing children's picture books and didn't realise what went into it! I am struggling at times but learning! I like the sound of these ones. #lifethisweek
ReplyDeleteI’m looking forward to reading these ones. Good luck with your book. Let me know how you go.
DeleteThe letters from Berlin keep catching my eye! Interested to know what you think
ReplyDeleteIt’s set during WWII so I’m already feeling like I will love it.
DeleteI'm with you on the warm weather - can't wait! That looks like an awesome book haul! Looking forward to your reviews. Book mail is the best - just wish I didn't always have to pay for mine! :P Have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteSecondhand books shops are always an option Sanch. I get a lot of my books there.
DeleteSo many interesting books here, I've been going back and reading some old favourites rather than new authors - I think I'm feeling a bit unsettled and need the knowledge that the book will live up to my expectation - too much disappointment around atm without adding books to it!
ReplyDeleteI turn to romance when I'm feeling down or stressed. I know I'm guaranteed a happy ending.
DeleteI have a couple of these books too! I am very much looking forward to them!
ReplyDeleteI hope we both love them when we get to read them.
DeleteYou got some pretty good looking books. Congratulations on that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Thank you Linda. I’m looking forward to reading them
DeleteI live in the northern US and will squeeze every drop out of late summer and fall. With covid, etc I don't look forward to being stuck inside again this winter.
ReplyDeleteI hear you, Mary.
DeleteI LOVE summer...not looking forward to winter and being stuck inside. I have tried to be outside EVERY day as much as I could.
Our winter’s are very mild. I really can’t complain. I feel the cold though, I would never survive where it snows.
DeleteCute duck photo.
ReplyDeleteLETTERS FROM BERLIN looks good.
Have a wonderful week.
I think I’ll be pushing Letters From Berlin up the pile.
DeleteEnjoy your books and the upcoming warm weather!
ReplyDeletePoor Ditto, hope he's feeling better.
He is much better thanks. It was a glorious 28C today. ☀️☀️
DeleteOoooh a good stash of books this week - there's a few there that look really interesting. Yay for spring & here's hoping Ditto stays well...asthma is tough, especially at this time of the year.
ReplyDeletethe mail has finally come through all at once. Ditto’s asthma should improve as the weather warms.
DeleteI'm glad Ditto is okay. Asthma can be so scary.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are lovely and I hope you enjoy your weather changing.
So many good books for you and I love the several children's books.
Happy Reading!
Asthma is scary. This was Ditto’s third hospital stay. His mum is on it though, she knows when he needs medical intervention. I’m looking forward to the children’s books.
DeleteFantastic Mailbox, The Good Teacher sounds amazing but sadly not available in the UK.
ReplyDeleteHopefully The Good Teacher will make it to the UK. We have some great authors in Australia.
DeleteWhat a great mailbox! I like the look of all your books, both the adult and children's. And I'm happy to hear Ditto is okay. It's scary to be sick today and to have to go to the hospital with all that's going on.
ReplyDeleteWe are heading into fall soon. I am not a fan of the cold either. I love summer. Stay safe and have a great week.
Fall and spring are the best seasons. Although I do love the sun and heat. We had a beautiful 28C today.
DeleteGosh how worrying is asthma and any illness with kids which sends them to hospital. And hospital has changed (as it had to) with COVID conditions. The book pile looks interesting. I note the one with 'teacher' in the title. Thank you for linking up this week for #lifethisweek. Next week’s optional prompt is 36/51 Taking Stock #4 7.9.2020 and I hope to see you there too. Take care, stay safe and well. Denyse.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Denyse. I’m looking forward to The Good Teacher. Petronella is good with her twists so who knows how the story will go.
