Suddenly Sunday is hosted by the wonderful Svea at Confessions and Rambling of A Muse in the Fog.
Hello dear readers! And how is this lovely Sunday finding you? We had a few days last week of cooler weather so I am stoked about the upcoming fall season. Georgia is so beautiful in the Autumn. We will for sure be heading up into the north Georgia mountains once the leaves start changing and I can't wait for that!
So, it's been a few weeks since I last posted a Suddenly Sunday and a lot has been going on in my little corner of the world with my daughter starting high school. One recent development was that I was laid off this past Thursday. I didn't particularly enjoy my job, in fact I loathed it, but it was a paycheck ya know. So, now back to the oh so fun chore of job hunting :(
In happier news, I've been getting a lot of reading done. Let's see since my last SS post I managed to finish The Queen's Captive
by Barbara Kyle, The de Lacy Inheritance
by Elizabeth Ashworth, Dark Moon of Avalon
by Anna Elliott, Wicked Company
by Ciji Ware and Penelope's Daughter
by Laurel Corona and I enjoyed all of them.I am now reading The Princeling
(Book Three, Morland Dynasty Series) by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles.

ReplyDeletePlease tell me the Princeling is better.
ReplyDeletePlease...
I"m so sorry to hear about your job Amy. In these times sometimes a job you don't like is better than not having one at all which brings its own stress. My husband was out of work for 9 months last year after getting laid off so I really feel for you. I hope you find something soon. In the meantime hang in there and look at the bright side - more time for reading!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the job. That completely sucks. Have you ever considered waiting tables? If you work at the right place it can be fun and trust me anyone can do it. I did and I am clutzy as all get out. I will keep my fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteSee you tomorrow night for the chat and I hope the Princeling is better than the last one.
How did you r daughter make out the first week? Hope she is well and you too. IT's just as sressful for mom too! Have a great week! {{hugs}}
I'm sorry you lost your job, even if it was one you didn't care for. Good luck in the job hunt!
ReplyDeleteI am sure Amy, you will get a better job and the one u like! And whoa! you have a lot of giveaways going !
