Thursday's Child
Thursday's Child | Melody Carlson
24 posts
Emma has always been "the practical one" in the family. But that is about to change as she embarks on the adventure of her life. Emma Davis wants a new life now that she no longer needs to care for her grandmother. A spur-of-the-moment visit to a travel agency sets her on a journey far from her Iowa home. Emma takes a cruise to the far islands of the Pacific, but it isn't until she arrives in Papua, New Guinea, that she begins to realize her true calling. Emma regains her sense of purpose by caring for three motherless children and befriending their father, Josh Daniels. Josh's troubled pass and the loss of his wife have left him vulnerable, but can the love Emma has discovered in her own heart, awaken his heart to all Emma has to offer?

I‘ve seen several “I just want to stay home and read” post today and I have to say I do too! Is it something in the air? Is it just bookworm season?

I‘ve missed a few but I‘m back. It‘s been a really good reading week. I‘ve especially enjoyed my reread of the Sunshine Vicram trilogy. I love the mixture of mystery, family and love.

I‘ve actually had a lot of library holds come in this week but I‘ve pushed them out because I don‘t feel like I have the time but I did finish 3 books this week so obviously I have the time but maybe not the motivation? I‘ll try to be better this coming week. 🙃

Being back at work has really impacted my reading time. I only finished one book this week. ☹️ I miss winter break. 😆

I‘m bringing back #TBRThursday as a way to keep myself accountable. I haven‘t done this since 2018 when a different book site I was using went out of business. I‘m still playing around with formats so we‘ll see how it will evolve.

ShananigansReads Feel free to join me using the #TBRThursday tag. I‘d love to see what you are reading. 5mo

1. October was busy and memorable. I‘m still recovering from September‘s surgery, and in the midst of that I retired from my job!
2. Although I‘m still going to PT twice a week, I‘m most looking forward to having some unstructured time this month to let myself “air out” a bit.
3. I‘m grateful I was finally able to deliver my sister her birthday gift, and she loved it.

Thanks @AsYouWish for the tag for this #ThoughtfulThursday :)

1. I had a cruise for March we had to cancel and a road trip (from Vermont to Vegas) then a Vegas vacation for the beginning of July we had to postpone (thinking I might extend this contract since I can't explore with Shelter-in-Place.

2. Gonna try to finish the Saga series.

3. I started a Diamond Painting thing

AsYouWish I love Diamond Paintings!!!! 4y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Oh no!!! You had so much canceled!! I‘m sorry 😓 4y

Catherine_Willoughby Haven't been away since 2017 (London). It be two years before ill get away , will wait till to travelling is alond between counteries here. Haven't been alone since lockdown started and wouldn't be till kids return to school in September 😔. 4y
MoonWitch94 Thanks for playing ☺️💗 4y
ElizaMarie @AsYouWish This is my first one. I am not sure if I am loving it... its kinda hard to not spill a lot of the little beads! Ha but.. I did feel I got a little lost in it so that's nice :) 4y
ElizaMarie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Well, not much.. I am staying at this studio apartment that is a bit in the mountains so we are still getting snow and ice periodically (hopefully this week its all all over)... I have been reading, trying to stream some shows but my internet is spotty... so mostly reading, writing cards/postcards and just staying warm -- with my heated blanket. 4y
ElizaMarie @Catherine_Willoughby I can't image how stressful it might be to not have any alone time... I think its making a lot of people a bit stir crazy. I mean I am still working (nurse) so I do spend time with people 12hr days 3-4 days a week. Otherwise I don't know.. I. would probably be talking to the walls! 4y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @ElizaMarie I added you! Please make sure everything is correct ! Take some photos of anything pretty and unique and of the mountains that I can steal for postcards!! 😉❤️ 4y
Chrissyreadit Thanks for the tag!! It stinks to miss so much!! I literally forgot I am missing Billy Joel among other things.... 4y
ElizaMarie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ha I have some really pretty snowy pics :) because I‘m up on the mountain here. It‘s a bit annoying I don‘t like the snow but it‘s beautiful. When my service gets a bit better I‘ll email you some :) — also some of my travels are on Instagram @demonkitty28 4y
ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit ooo that sucks! My husband was just talking to me about all these concerts he had wanted to go to this year :( 4y

1. Writing, movie watching, knitting and diamond painting.
2. Not that I can think of at the moment.
3. Funko Pops and Treasure Trolls.
4. I love crafting, there is something relaxing about it.

#HelloThursday @wanderinglynn

wanderinglynn What is diamond painting? And thanks for playing! 💜 5y
AsYouWish @wanderinglynn It is like a paint by number but the canvas is sticky and you place little stone shaped plastic pieces on there to create a picture. It is so relaxing! 5y
wanderinglynn Sound fun! 👍🏻 5y
