This was sort of a crazy week. On one hand, it was Audiobook Week, which is one of the biggest weeks on my blog. Luckily I had nearly everything scheduled and ready to go, because at the end of last week we heard that my grandfather was in the hospital. On Sunday we drove down to Indianapolis because he was doing worse. He passed on on Monday afternoon and we were down there until Tuesday. When we came back I had a few freelance assignments that had to be taken care of right away, but other than that I was more into spending time with my kids than any time on the computer, so I still haven’t commented on more than 15 or so Audiobook Week posts. Eventually I will though, I promise!
In case you missed any Audiobook Week posts, here’s the wrap-up:

I did get a fair amount of reading in with all my not at the computer time. Here’s what I finished:

I’m so sorry to hear about your grandfather.
Thanks for all the work you put into preparing/hosting Audiobook Week! I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather.
I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather. You’re in my thoughts.
Sorry to hear about your grandpa, my thoughts are with you and your family.
I have Tampa on tap and I’m excited/nervous to read it!
Somebody on Twitter told me that Tampa was so much worse and also so much better than they anticipated and I thought that about right.
So sorry to hear about your grandpa. Wishing you all peace and healing as you start to move forward again.
I had a blast focusing on audiobooks this week, so thank you so much for hosting!
My condolences on your loss, I’m glad you were able to take the time away from your blog and other things so that you could focus on your family.
I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather. It’s good you were able to go. You did a great job with Audiobook Week, as always!
So sorry to hear about your grandfather. Family comes first. I wanted to thank you for all your hard work in putting together Audiobook Week. I enjoyed participating in it.

Hi Jen,
I’m so sorry for your loss - I’m surprised you were able to focus on Audiobook week at all!
Is that a new Philippa Gregory book I see?
Honestly I really didn’t focus on it at all. Everything that posted was already scheduled, except for Friday’s post where I didn’t answer my own question. I had planned to have 3 reviews instead of the one, but those hadn’t already been written, so they didn’t happen.
Yes, that’s a relatively new Philippa Gregory, the second in her YA series, it came out early this month.
I’m sorry about your grandfather. I meant to pick up a condolence card for you but know that I am thinking of you and your entire family.
How, pray tell, did you get your hands on a copy of INDEPENDENT STUDY? More importantly, can you send said copy to me now that you are done with it?!?!
I got it straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. And yes! I just need to write my review, and it is all yours.
