My kid finally got over toilet fear, yayy! #WeeklyWrapUp
Hello readers! I hope you all had great week. My week has been fantastic and you get from the title why. Yup, my kid finally got over toilet fear on her own! Not exactly on her own, it must be because of her school. Her old Pre-nursery school and now new Pre-Primary (Nursery) both get credit. Seeing other kids of her age using big toilet and her teachers or helpers there insisting her pee in toilet must have changed her mind and helped her get over her fears that we couldn’t do at home. It was big thing for us and I’m sure it won’t be long she start going in the toilet for poop as well. It made my week. It’s great outside exposure and being among kids of her age is helping her so much. And she is enjoying long hrs of school and going in school bus. We too like 6 hrs of our own. House feels so quiet in her absence.
Another good thing is I received book mail I won in a giveaway. I know I said I don’t like audiobooks but I was getting free audible for two months so why not to give it a chance. I don’t listen as much as I read but let’s see how that works.
Did I ever tell she is adventurous? She always does something like this that scares some parents. And she copies big girls not realizing she is not big like them!!
What I read
Obsidio (The Illuminae Files #3) by Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff
This was fantastic closure of the trilogy. I enjoyed every part of this book. I liked there is change in pace, slow-fast-slow-fast making it a rollercoaster ride. I honestly wasn’t expecting another couple before starting this or reading the synopsis. Asha and Rhys are good but not as good as Hanna and Nick or Ezra and Kady. Again last 100 pages are mindblowing and I’m still amazed with everything that happened in those last few pages. It’s perfect! I didn’t think I will love another series after Six of Crows/Grishaverse and I know this is a different genre but I so much love this series.

Business Not as Usual by Sharon C. Cooper
I’m halfway through this book and this is fun, fluffy, sexy, and entertaining so far. Some might not like Karter start dating Dreamy for her being different than other girls he dated. I know it’s cliche and that trope is annoying but somehow it isn’t that annoying here. I like that insta-lust, eyefucking scenes in the beginning and how hot and sexy it is becoming in the middle of the book. I’m expecting some drama now. Let’s see how it goes. i might finish this today.
Next this Week
The No-Show by Beth O’Leary
Three women who seemingly have nothing in common find that they’re involved with the same man in this smart new rom-com by Beth O’Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare.
Siobhan is a quick-tempered life coach with way too much on her plate. Miranda is a tree surgeon used to being treated as just one of the guys on the job. Jane is a soft-spoken volunteer for the local charity shop with zero sense of self-worth.
These three women are strangers who have only one thing in common: They’ve all been stood up on the same day, the very worst day to be stood up–Valentine’s Day. And, unbeknownst to them, they’ve all been stood up by the same man.
Once they’ve each forgiven him for standing them up, they let him back into their lives and are in serious danger of falling in love with a man who seems to have not just one or two but three women on the go….
Is there more to him than meets the eye? And will they each untangle the truth before they all get their hearts broken?
Brace yourself, it’s going to be back-to-back romance books. What can I say I signed up for romance blitz emails I get from publisher more these days. And I would be fool to let go The No-Show by Beth O’Leary. I haven’t read any book by author yet but I have them all in my kindle and I’m really excited to read them all.
Thank you for reading! Let’s chat..,
Have you read any of these books or added to TBR?

Somehow, I missed this post, Yesha. I am so happy that your daughter has gotten over the fear of going potty. She will be trained in no time. I was declined for the No-Show, so will wait for the library to get a copy.
Books Teacup and Reviews
Yes, at least she is sitting on big toilet. she still has problem with poop in toilet but i hope with little encouragement and time she will get trained soon.
This is first time I received Beth O’Leary book so I was really excited. it’s worth waiting for. You’ll like this.
Krysta
Congratulations! It sounds like you had a pretty exciting week! It’s so nice your daughter was able to gain some confidence from other kids. And I’m sure it makes things much easier for you!
Oh, and you just reminded me of the Illuminae trilogy, which I have yet to read. But I see it at the library all the time and keep thinking, “One day!”

I’m so happy for you and your daughter, it’s such a huge milestone. I read Business Not As Usual and thought the same as you, it’s light and fluffy, and fun. I did love The No-Show very much, but it was a bit irritating at the beginning. The end is totally worth it, IMO. Enjoy!
Books Teacup and Reviews
Yes, I just saw your review on Goodreads and I agree with what you say. It is lovely read but didn’t wow me and have to suspend beliefs with that lottery thing. I can’t wai to start No-Show. Have a lovely week.

It’s so great that your daughter is getting better with potty training! She’s adorable, too. I think all kids think they’re invincible and do crazy things. My daughter was always doing things like older kids with no fear. So glad you loved Obsidio. That’s definitely one of my favorite series.
Books Teacup and Reviews
Thank you! Yes, and I’m amazed how confident they are and sure of themselves. I wonder where it goes when we grown up! Illuminae has made it to my favorites too.
Lady Tessa

Awesome news! It’s such a great milestone for her. The audioversion of The Switch by Beth O’Leary was fantastic- hope you love The No-Show!

Thanks, Toni! It feels big milestone for me than her! 😁 It’s on my TBR and I hope to read it next month.
Teri Polen
Yay for the progress with potty training! From the video, I think you’ve got an adventurous spirit on your hands, Yesha, lol.
Books Teacup and Reviews
Yes, and I’m glad even though it keeps me on my toes. At least I don’t have coax her to try different activities.

Ah going to the big toilet must make life easier, I’m happy for you and your little girl! I read the first two Beth O’Leary novels and enjoyed both so The No-Show is definitely high on my wishlist too. I hope you’ll enjoy them and I look forward to your revieŵs!
Books Teacup and Reviews
Thank you! it’s much easier now and such a relief. From what I have headrd about previous books of author, I’m hoping to enjoy No-Show.

That’s amazing, Yesha! A big congratulations to your little girl! It’s such a huge moment when kids start using the toilet, and that’s fantastic she’s enjoying school so much.
Romance is starting to feel like a nice, fluff genre to jump to right now for me, and I’m so sad I don’t have any coming up for me in my schedule, but I’m looking forward to your reviews!
Books Teacup and Reviews
Thank you, Kat! I’m gravitating to romance more these days and surprisingly this year I’m reading more romance books than usual. I’m really excited for Beth O’Leary books
