Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week. A nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase, hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is ‘Book’ and you can read more about that below.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IF YOU WISH TO LINK UP! FROM NOW ON, THOSE NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES WILL BE DELETED.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. And please only add one post to the link up each week, multiple posts will be deleted. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week. Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW
Word of the Week is open from 6am on Friday Morning to 12 noon on Monday. Plenty of time to join in!
I also have a new link up open on Mondays for your recipes and food related posts. And, if you like to write bookish posts don’t forget my link up on my other blog At Home A Lot, Bookworms Monthly.
If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.
MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Book
This week I attended my first ever book club and it was AMAZING! It’s so crazy, I’ve always wanted to go to a book club but never have, then this opportunity came along and I very nearly didn’t go…but I did and I loved it. We talked about the book we had read and shared our experiences and what we felt about it. This month’s book was Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kuang and next month we have to read Trial by Rob Rinder.
Anyone who knows me, knows I love reading (or listening to audio books) and I can’t get enough. I love talking about books too and have a lot of book reviews over on my other blog.
The book club this week was held in a cafe and I was a little perturbed at having so much help in getting in as it had steps and I needed a ramp. But everyone was so helpful. Once inside I sat and talked with four women whom I’d never met before. We got straight into talking about the book and the time just flew by. I didn’t realise how much fun it would be. I’m hoping that by going every month I can also make some friends.
I’ve also decided that it’s time to actually start getting my own book published. I’ve thought of self publishing and have even been offered the money to do it, but I’m going to try and get some interest from publishers first. As it’s my personal story on Stiff Person Syndrome and Celine Dion is releasing her documentary, I’m hoping that some publisher may be interested. My book is written, it just needs a little tweaking. And if I do get a publisher, it will probably need even more tweaking.
Now I’m on to my next book, The Trial by Rob Rinder. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in.
Do you like to read books? Do you have a favourite author?
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
Hey, Anne I just bookmarked your other blog, so hopefully I can remember to link up monthly. Lol.
I’m so happy you joined a book club, I’m sure it will be a wonderful way to make friends.

We love books too but don’t get enough time! I’m excited at the prospect of you getting to publish your book! Glad you got to go to that bookclub too.
Yay! I am so glad you went to the book club and had a wonderful time!! I am so happy for you.
You should go for it with your book! I saw Celine Dion was releasing a documentary and thought of you.
I am not reader unless you count blogs but I have been listening to audio books when I find time. My fella thought I had an Irish woman in the kitchen when he came in the other day and heard a voice. I had a book playing through the Google speaker thing. lol
It’s so great to hear you had such a great time at the cafe with the book club! Oh please get your book published!! It would be so exciting and helpful to many people who may be experiencing similar challenges. Your story could inspire and support so many others.
Book club sounds like a real win! I am glad to hear you are pursuing publication of your book. It would educate people like myself who know so little and help others who suffer too. Interesting premise for a link up. I’ll follow and join in when I can.
Great to hear that you had such a wonderful time at the book club, Anne! I also think that you should look into getting your book published. I wish you all the luck with it. Happy Reading!
