It's Sunday. Did you remember to set your clocks ahead an hour? I was going to go to bed earlier than normal to help with the transition. Yeah, that didn't happen.
Actually, my Saturday didn't really go as planned. But in a good way. A friend invited me to go paddle boarding with her this afternoon. It was a gorgeous day in Southern California with a break in the winds we've been getting. I figured we'd be out there a couple of hours, but it was three. Then she took me to a late lunch for my birthday. So I didn't get home until evening. Talked to my parents and another friend after that. So, I didn't get my book finished or Finding Red watched on Disney+.
But I'm not complaining. Truly, I'm not. If I could change anything about today, I wouldn't.
Work was better this week. Still busy, but not as stressful. This week will be just as busy, however. Got to buckle down and plow through all the stuff on my plate.
Shall we get to the meat of this post for the week? Once again, I will be participating in:

This Week's Book Haul
As I hinted above, my birthday was this last week - Tuesday to be exact. I got a book as a present, and I bought myself another couple as presents. Plus, I picked up a new ebook while it was on sale. This week's new additions were:
Murder on the Iditarod Trail by Sue Henry
Deliciously FoxTrot by Bill Amend
The Pajama Frame by Diane Vallere
Lover Come Hack by Diane Vallere
Yes, two of those books are in the same series. Books 5 and 6 in the series, in fact. As you'll see below, I reviewed book 4 in the series this week. One of my plans for the year is to try to catch up on Diane Vallere's books. I'm going to be alternating between her two ongoing series. It will still take me a couple of years to catch up, but this will be a nice start toward it.

What I'm Currently Reading
Both of these are arcs for books that come out at the end of March. I'm planning to review them on release week.
The clock is not being set an hour forward over here till March 27th! I was like; Did I miss something!? Lol.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll have a great week :)
We don't set the clock forward here in SA, we just have loadshedding and between 2.5 and 7.5 hours per day of no power. Maybe our government should try something like daylight saving....
ReplyDeleteMurder on the whatsaname trail caught my eye.
Have a good week and happy reading and blogging!

Murder on the Iditarod Trail is a great choice for this time of year. I love books set in Alaska, so I'll have to check out that series. Happy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, books are always a great gift. Glad you had a great Saturday, ours was very rainy! Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day! Getting books for presents is the best. I need to get ahold of the Vallere books. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAh sounds like a fun morning out on the ocean. I got caught by the change of clocks in the USA. I was clocking in to a talk by poet David Whyte same as last week's time, but... caught the end of it. Dang, but seems like I wasn't the only one. Never mind will catch the recording.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Sue Henry's Alaska mysteries. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday 🎈
ReplyDeleteWe still have a few more weeks til the clock goes back here down under, I’m not looking forward to it.
Wishing you a great reading week
Happy birthday! I'd love to spend my birthday the way you did.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have been planning your reading well. You've got everything lined up.
Happy birthday! The time change isn't as much of an issue since I've retired. I set my own schedule now. If I want to stay up late and sleep late, no one is bothered. Nice looking assortment of books. I'm trying to work my way through the Fool's Gold series by Susan Mallery. That might take me a couple of years yet. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! Sounds like you had a great day.
ReplyDeleteI was late going to bed Saturday. Hubby forgot to tell me it the clocks moved forward and I hadn't heard it at all.
I like the looks of the historical mystery and the new cozy.
You are tempting me with New-To-Me authors.
Have a great week and Happy Reading!
