Weekly Book Wrap-Up #110 – Easter Within Reach

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 #110

I´ve got some free kindle books for my kindle app on my smartphone. Please check them before you one-click them because I don´t know if they are still for free. The publisher Penhaligon made me very happy on April 1st when I found Five Dark Fates in my mailbox. Woohoo!

Sunday Post #67

The last few days have shown that the warmer and sunnier the weather gets the more people are out and about. Most of us keep the required 6 ft distance but some don´t. I now have to carry not only my personal ID and drivers-license with me when I go out for a run but also got advised by a neighbor to have the town registration with me. Because the police are checking parks and other open space and the numbers of people who received a criminal complaint has gone up.

Somehow, I finally found the space and time to start a new book. I was able to do some blogging and making slow progress on changing the style of the older blog posts so that they fit the newer ones. But at some point, during the day I have to go outside for a run or long walk to get some oxygen into my body and feel better.

I´ve got informed by some publishers that they do what they can to get out the new releases to us bloggers but that it will take up to four weeks before the books will arrive at our doorsteps. I don´t mind although it is kind of strange when you see the date the book was given to the DHL and compare it to the date you received it. That is a process that usually takes only a few days. But I am absolutely thrilled that they still do what they can to get the new releases out in the open.

I started to look for cloth masks because for a few days the rumor is getting around that the government might order us to wear one when we go outside. I have to buy one because I don´t have a sewing machine. I know that it is only the psychological effect of why people wear it, but it works. Every time I see a person wearing a mask I automatically step away and bring some more distance than the required 6 ft between me and the other person. Crazy, huh? *smile*

And now something fun.

A little foretaste of the little animal that will soon be hopping through almost empty places. I thought I cheer my parents up a little bit by taking this picture. It worked. 

And again, some pictures from the Blühende Barock Ludwigsburg. The pictures were taken by the director of the Blühende Barock Ludwigsburg in Germany, Volker Kugel, and give you a little impression on how this park looks at the moment. I don´t know how many people were involved to create those huge Easter eggs and the butterfly but it is sad that we can´t go there to see them live. The Blühende Barock is a huge park around the Ludwigsburger castle (Ludwigsburg was once the residence castle of King Wilhelm II) where the season 2020 was about to start.

Stay safe and healthy!
