My Week In Books 1/24 – 1/30

Hello bookworms!!

This week was another pretty uneventful week for me until Sunday. I stayed up until 1am reading my book and then I woke up at 3:30am because I was having really bad stomach pains. This isn’t the first time this has happened. It has happened several times over the past year or 2. Usually it goes away after a few minutes but this time it wasn’t going away. I was in so much pain I was crying, and I ended up waking my husband up. My primary doctor has been telling me that my acid reflux is what was most likely causing this pain. I ended up going to the ER at 5:30 because I couldn’t take the pain anymore and it wasn’t letting up. I told the doctor about my acid reflux and all of that and of course he immediately treats me for that without really doing anything. I started to get a little bit of relief but when I rolled over to get a chest x-ray done it came back with a vengeance. The doctor finally came back in to see me and was like how are you doing? All better? And I am sitting here literally crying like no I’m not better I’m in excruciating pain. At that point he was like oh ok maybe we should get a scan of your gallbladder. They did an ultrasound and by the time the doctor came back in to tell me what was going on it was a new doctor. Anyways to make a long story longer he told me I have gallstones and that I have a lot of gallbladder issues, so it needs to be taken out. Luckily it wasn’t inflamed or anything, so I didn’t need emergency surgery. I am going to be calling a surgeon the ER doctor referred me to today to try and get things going because I don’t want any more of this pain. I’m also kind of annoyed at my doctor. Why didn’t she check my gallbladder? Why did she just assume it was acid reflux? The pain for now is gone. It finally went away on it own which it usually does it just took way longer this time. As for my reading I finished 3 books this week and made progress in another one so let’s look at that shall we.

~ Recently Finished ~

I was finally able to read How to Love Your Neighbor by Sophie Sullivan this week and I ended up really enjoying it. I did have some issues with it but overall, it was really good. I then read What Wendy Wants by Nikki Sex. This wasn’t on my TBR for this month, but I wanted a short quick read, so I picked this one. Honestly, I’m not really sure how I feel about this one just yet. There were things I liked but there were things that really bugged me. Lastly, I read Second Chance by Natasha Preston and again not really sure yet how I feel. I just finished it yesterday and I think overall I did like it but I also had some issues with it.

~ Currently Reading ~

Yep, I am still reading this one. I am buddy reading this one with Erin and we are reading 10 chapters a week. I was hoping to finish it before the end of the month, but it has way more chapters than I thought it did. It’s a pretty quick read and I am enjoying it way more than I was expecting to.

~ Reading Next ~

I don’t really know what I am going to be reading next. I planned to figure out my February TBR yesterday but that obviously didn’t happen so as of right now I am free to pick up whatever I want however, I most likely won’t pick up anything new until I have planned my February TBR.
