Weekly Book Wrap-Up #107 – Life Upside Down

With the Weekly Book Wrap-Up, I give you a bit of an insight into all the new books that have arrived at my place. No matter if I won a giveaway, got approved for a reviewer´s copy, an ARC or just bought one myself. Everything that I add to my shelves, in what way ever and read during the past week or am still reading, I will write about it.  And maybe I tell you a bit about the upcoming things on Inkvotary, that is if I don´t forget it and have something to share with you *smile*

I am linking up with Tynga´s Reviews and Caffeinated Reviewer and hope you´ll have fun reading it and maybe get the one or the other book inspiration.

Stacking The Shelves #107

I am repeating myself but no news here, sorry.

Sunday Post #64

The past week was one I´ve never experienced in my life. The fact, that the Covid-19 is spreading so fast, Germany has become a state I don´t recognize anymore. I saw on the news the wonderful video about how the people in Italy react to the isolation situation they have to endure by singing while standing on their balconies. I still get goosebumps thinking of it.

Blunt was performing in a ghostly empty Elbphilharmonie Wednesday night and almost all live shows and discussion rounds are produced without a live audition. Some of those productions at least had the fairness to put the audition in darkness. But some of them didn’t and it looked frightening. I mean it is one thing to watch Blunt rock the stage without a visible audience and sing and perform as if it was the last thing he would ever do but it literally sucks to watch a live-show like Let´s Dance without any audience. The atmosphere isn´t just the same. The energy is completely gone, and I rather watch a movie than watching all those more or less prominent people act like a jumping jack in front of a camera.

Good, my personal life isn´t as affected by the virus, as I heard it has affected others. We do hear that there is the one or the other confirmed case two towns away from us and our next big city has also confirmed cases. But it somehow doesn´t concern me much. I am concerned about my father. He´s a dementia patient and with his heart problem he had last year in February, we know that he is one of the “high risk” patience doctors ask to stay away from people as much as possible. Almost every time I am on the phone with my father, I have to explain to him why I am not coming to visit him at home. He hears it, understands it and two minutes later he is asking me again. For him, the Corona is something he can´t really see. My Step-uncle came back this week from a wedding he had attended in the US. I don´t know if he is in self-isolation for the next 14 days or if he only had to leave his contact information and other information at the airport when he arrived in Frankfurt. I do hope that he went into homely isolation and that he is doing whatever it takes to make sure he isn´t infected or spreading the virus. I haven´t heard anything from my stepmother so far about that, but I really hope he stays away from my father.

And to top it all, my new neighbors are moving in. They started last night after ten pm and went back again this noon and are now even louder. They hammer, drill and move heavy things around that it is one huge rumbling noise. I could scream! And apparently, it doesn´t bother them at all that their new neighbors aren´t thrilled about it.

How was your week?



Happy reading
