Hello, everyone! Today we are linking up with
- The Sunday Post hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer
- Stacking the Shelves hosted by Reading Reality
- The Sunday Salon hosted by Readerbuzz
Apologies, Olivia and I have missed the last couple of Sunday link ups, but we are happy to join again this week. Thank you for visiting!
Olivia Update 🐾
Olivia is very excited to share how she’s been the last couple of weeks! While I’ve been recovering from my back injury (yes, still!), Olivia has been a constant companion. She supervises my physiotherapy exercises, cuddles during reading time, and makes sure I rest. For her extraordinary efforts, I have happily provided her with extra squeezie treats, catnip, and have ensured that her catnip toys are available for her playtime (they can be challenging to find after an active play session!) Unfortunately, Olivia has developed an aversion to some of her other toys. I think they spook her out a bit and thus will not remain in circulation for now – but, speaking of spooky things, she cannot wait for Halloween! We have her halloween collar ready to go!
Life Update
Ah, still dealing with that back injury! But there’s been lots of improvements! Physiotherapy has been so helpful. It’s remarkable how long it takes to heal. I hope everyone is staying safe where they are – the weather has been awful in eastern parts of Canada and other countries as well. Wishing you and my family/friends all well!

Reading Update

QOTD: What book are you
reading next? Let us know!

I’ve been watching Rings of Power too. I’m totally riveted. Hope your back continues to make progress and that you’re at 100% before you know it!
Sandman was so good! I am glad you are starting to feel better. Back injuries are no joke and affect every aspect of your daily life. You probably missed it, but I got a kitten in September…Winchester. It is so wonderful to have a companion again. It had been almost 17 years since my last cat crossed over the bridge. Hugs.

Golly, I hope your back heals quickly. I’m glad you have a faithful companion.
I’m reading Solito: A Memoir by Javier Zamora. It’s the story of Zamora’s travels from his home country in Central America north to the US.

Back injuries are so painful, and you’re right, they take a fair amount of time to get over. I hope you continue to heal. Hello Olivia! You’re just the cutest.

I’m really sorry to hear you’re still having trouble with your back injury, Sara! It takes a lot of persistence to keep going even when things like that go on for so long, and I really hope things heal up soon. But it’s wonderful that you’ve gotten to spend time with Olivia lately and read some great books! Thanks so much for the wonderful post!

I’m sorry you’re still dealing with back injury pain. I’m glad physiotherapy is helping and that Olivia is being such a wonderful companion. Cats really are the best when you’re not feeling well. I hope you continue to heal and feel better! 😀
