Top Ten Tuesday: Book Wishes!

/ Leslie

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week there is a new topic for bloggers to choose and list their top ten. This week is Top Ten Bookish Wishes(List the top 10 books you’d love to own and include a link to your wishlist so that people can grant your wish. Make sure you link your wishlist to your mailing address [here’s how to do it on Amazon] or include the email address associated with your ereader in the list description so people know how to get the book to you.)

This is such a fun topic and I can’t wait to jump around and grant some wishes.

It’s been a long week for my household. We tested positive for COVID, the day after we got back from vacation. We got hit hard and are struggling to bounce back. My husband and I were vaccinated too. We have a lot of congestion and coughing still going on. Plus, we are just exhausted. Ollie is coughing so bad, especially at night. We are all so tired.

My Amazon wish list is here- Leslie’s Wish List

These are the top ten that are on my wish list. I do have a lot of pre-orders and that’s usually what my list is for. I did manage to find some that are not!

Let’s chat below & drop your links!!

  9. Oh honey, I really hope you all feel better soon. I had COVID back in September and it kicked my butt for a solid week and a half. I hope your kiddo gets over it soon, and that you all get to rest.

    • Thank you! It’s really kicking our butts too. Ollie and I slept a big chunk of the day away. lol. I think he’s doing the best out of all of us, which I’m so grateful for! I’m just shocked at how bad it was since we are vaccinated. Kinda scary how it would have gotten us if we weren’t!

  18. Little Thieves is also on my TBR–I hope we both enjoy it when we read it! I also hope you get your bookish wishes, and that you and your family feel better soon. It seems impossible not to catch it once it’s in your household, and it’s just hideous.

    • Thank you so much! I really am so over being sick. Mostly, I just want my kid to be 100% so I can stop worrying so much. He finally slept the whole night since we first got sick.. so I’m hoping we’ve crossed into the other side of this. It’s been so terrible.

      • God, it must be terrifying. Our household came down with it when my fiance woke up unable to breathe properly, and it put me into a huge panic (he’s asthmatic, so it hit him like a truck even after three vaccinations). Seeing your kid with it must be so scary. I hope you’re all feeling a bit better.

        • Oh no… that’s absolutely terrible!! Yes, it was the worst part and I was insanely paranoid. Taking his breathing levels all the time. Having a hard time sleeping to make sure he was still breathing. It was rough but no where near as rough as your fiance. That’s so scary. I’m not sure why people think this is nothing because it’s really not. It KICKED our butts so bad and we are vaccinated too. It’s so scary!

          • YES. So much of the experience made me really wonder how people can be so blasé about it?! Especially once you’ve had it, how can you be nonchalant about potentially catching it again, or about passing it on once you’ve got it?! I completely get why you’d be so terrified and constantly checking your son. It’s even scarier when there’s kids involved who can’t fully communicate how they’re feeling. Hope you’re all through the worst of it now!

          • We are over the worst, just got a pesky cough still. I know, I’m so scared to get it again bc it was terrible!! I like don’t want to leave my house again, whish isn’t reasonable. I just wish that everyone else would take it just as seriously!!! ugh

          • I get the frustration–it seems like you can’t help overreact because everyone else is failing to react at all. Then both sides of it feel unreasonable! I’m glad you’re feeling better.

  19. I’m sorry about your run-in with COVID. I just got “over” it, which I think I already told you on our Sunday posts. I’m still feeling fatigued too. The congestion and coughing finally has gone away (two weeks after I tested positive). I hope y’all are right around the corner.

    You have some awesome books on your wishlist. I’ve heard such great things about them and I can’t wait to read them.
