Good morning! Today’s post will link up to The Sunday Salon and The Sunday Post for weekly updates.
Mailbox Monday is hosted at the home site: Mailbox Monday.
And let’s join Kathryn, our leader in It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, at Book Date.
***
Welcome to another week of blogging, reading, and viewing. I also spent hours of time updating my accounts with my new bank card info! What a hassle the whole hacking thing has been. Here’s hoping I will not have to go through this again.
Today I also finished reviewing my NetGalley ARC for April, but had trouble logging in to NetGalley. Several password change attempts with no luck! What’s up with that? I will set aside entering that information for another day. Meanwhile, you can find the review on Goodreads and Facebook.
I do feel as though I am in a Wasteland of passwords, user names, and Internet worries.
Let’s take a peek at my one blog post and my review, and perhaps the upcoming week will be better!

Review: The Soulmate, by Sally Hepworth

That was my week.I bought no new books, although I did receive two children’s books to add to my Jelly Cupboard with the Anne of Green Gables/Annie dolls:

I think NetGalley had all sorts of issues this week. They are working to fix it.

I love the Anne doll! Anne is one of my absolute favorite books. Hopefully you get the Netgalley password dealt with. I know what you mean about password wasteland. Have a great week!

Thanks, Katherine, having the bank account hack has increased my frustration with all things password/Internet related, and I am so ready to move beyond them all!
I also love Anne of Green Gables.

That makes sense. And, to clarify, the book I finished Friday and still need to review is my last ARC for March. What I’m reading right now is one of my own books that I plan to review in March.

I’ve had password issues too. All I did was reset some settings and of course a bunch of saved passwords- gone! ugh. Oh well. Hope you’re having a great weekend

Thanks, Greg, I get sick of having to change, update passwords, and try to keep them all straight! I have had more issues since I ended up having to update all my sites after the bank card fiasco.
Enjoy your week.

Sorry about the hacking issue! What a pain. I think Netgalley was down a lot this week. I kept seeing messages from them about technical issues. Here’s my SP: https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2023/03/19/sunday-post-spring-has-sprung/

I had issues with NG over the past few days so checked Twitter and found out they were dealing with things and asking for patience. I hope you can get things figured out there. And I hope this is the last time you have the bank acct hacking issue. How frustrating.
Hoping your week ahead is filled with good reading and viewing!

I have a sea of passwords and user names and change them regularly, except Twitter, and that is what was hacked and taken over and I cannot get it back. I give up on Twitter, despite all the poets I had in a community there. I didn’t memorize their handles, so all of that is lost.
