Sunday Post 32 | A Graduation Kind of a Weekend

We took a day trip yesterday and watched my daughter’s virtual graduation with her and our younger daughter, then took them both for a late lunch. It was a nice day, though a bit hard to believe she is going to be starting her career in just a few short weeks.

My blog hit two milestones this week:

I hope you come back to see the following. I have a book review posted TODAY, and I linked it in here so you don’t miss it:

  • Monday (6/28): YA Contemporary| Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Tuesday (6/29): Domestic Thriller Book Review| The House Guests by Emilie Richards⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Wednesday (6/23): WWW Wednesday
  • Thursday (6/24): Medical Thriller Book Review |The Bone Code by Kathy Reichs ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Friday (6/25): Book Blogger Hop

I tried most of the first season of Intelligence with David Schwimmer on the Peacock streaming app this week. I kind of liked it. It originally airs on Sky One which is a UK network/channel and it is very British. I don’t always get British humor and that was really obvious when I was watching this.

Thank you for stopping by this week. I look forward to chatting with you in the comments. 😊

    You must be an extremely proud mum. Virtual graduation seemed very futuristic even a year ago. Now we see it as normal. For me this virus has made me more grateful for what I took for granted before. A simple meal with my daughter and eighteen month old granddaughter would have been taken for granted, now it is the highlight of my week.

      Very proud! Spending time with our children is the best (and grandkids too in your case) ❤️

      I guess it pops up on the WordPress app on my iPad. I go back and forth between my iPad and my computer, so if it doesn’t show up through the website, then it must be the app. It comes up, I screen shot it so I can share, and then it goes away and is just a note in my notifications. It’s very cool – celebratory – with falling confetti and stuff ❤️

    I was trying to decide which Harlequin Trade widgets/blog tours to join. I see you already made your selections! Congrats on the milestones.

      I chose all of them. Usually I’m good with that. Only occasionally do I find that I should have been a bit more discriminating. Can’t wait to find out which ones you are doing!

      Accounting seems to suit her. I just hope she likes working for an accounting firm. I kind of pictured her with a smaller employer but she had different ideas 😊

    Wow, congratulations on the graduation! Both my kids graduated virtually from university, one last spring and one this spring. To be honest, I was kind of happy to avoid the graduation crowds. And congratulations again on 500 blog posts! And 50k views! Amazing!

      I still have one in college. She will graduate, hopefully, next spring. But I’m totally with you on the crowds. I am not looking forward to that.

    You’ve had an exciting week. Congrats on your blogging milestones! I should check my stats to see where I’m at. That is a great haul from NetGalley. The thrillers especially caught my eye. Hope you enjoy them!

    Glad you had such a wonderful weekend, Tessa – hope your daughter enjoys her new career! I received some of those widgets (Inkyard Press I think?) and downloaded two of them, but may go back for a third. And congrats on your milestones!

      They all looked awesome to me. Usually I pick and choose from the Inkyard Press tours but they focused on fantasy and mystery/thrillers this time and you know how excited I am by both genres ❤️
