It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
I had some meeting fun at work this week - meeting being rescheduled. But nothing that was too horrible, and nothing I wasn't ready for. Other than that, it was a fine week at work.
Friday night, I ran the PowerPoint for my church's Good Friday service. We just upgraded the program we use for that, so we have a few bugs to work out of the system, but overall, I felt it went well.
Today, I joined a couple of friends to try out for a grandmaster ultimate Frisbee team. Essentially, it's a team for old people - you have to be over 38 to join the team. It was a lot of driving, but since someone else drove, I didn't mind that part at all. I had a lot of fun. It reminded me why I fell in love with the sport in the first place. I wish I had performed better. I seemed to be responsible for more than my share of turnovers. But that's nothing new. I seem to do best at our pickup games here in town. None of this is a surprise to me. I figure my chances of making the team are extremely slim. And the tournaments the team is planning to play with are weekends I'm not sure I'm available. But I don't regret going at all. Why? Because I had fun.
I think that's my week. Shall we get to bookish things?

Book Haul for the Week:
After last week, I was good. I only got two books, a physical book and an ARC from NetGalley. I picked up Up to No Gouda, the first in the Grilled Cheese Mysteries by Linda Reilly. Yes, I've been talking about a Cheese Shop series the last couple of weeks, and not I've got this one, too.
What I'm Currently Reading:
I think I'm rambling at this point, so that must mean it is time to sign off. Have a wonderful week!
Happy Easter. We had a Stations of the Cross at our church on Friday but I forgot to go! Gulp! Happy Easter. My Sunday Salon Post - Easter!
ReplyDeleteA happy and blessed Easter Sunday to you and your family, Mark ✝🌈❤
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! Hope you have a wonderful holiday.
ReplyDeleteThe Gregg Hurwitz book loos good, and I've heard good things about his books in general. I've only read his YA debut a few years ago but it was solid.
I used to read the Gregg Horowitz series but only got through 3 of them. They can be rather dark. I'm glad you got to play ultimate frisbee, coming from someone who could never figure out how to throw it properly. Enjoy your Easter.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe books look good!

I'm glad you had fun at ultimate Frisbee. That must be a popular thing around here because I see big groups of people playing in random fields. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! Sounds like you had fun with frisbee.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!Frisbee was never something I could really do but it is fun to try. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Mark! Happy Reading.
Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI loved Up to No Gouda. I, also, have the Lynn Cahoon ARC. She's one of my favorites.
Hope you have a great week!
Fun being the key. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hate driving but only because I've had mostly unreliable cars so I'm worried they will break down every time I drive off. But if someone else is driving I love to go everywhere.
I love that you're a guy frisbee playing accountant who loves disney stuff and cozies!!!
Happy Easter!
I love cheese, so Up To No Gouda looks like fun. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteLove the title of Up to No Gouda, lol! I read a book called Gouda Friends last month I think! Happy Easter!

I tend to go from one end of the spectrum to the other as well, I love some cozies, but also good psychological/murdery thrillers. Have you ever read the Mercy Watts cozy series? It's not nearly as cozy as some, and her adventures are almost always entertaining.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter. I'm so glad you still had fun at the time out. It sounds like fun. And having fun is the most important thing about it right?
ReplyDeleteYour current book looks and sounds great.
Have a great week and happy reading.
Happy Easter. It sounds like you had a fun weekend. My husband goes to meetings to plan meetings...lol
ReplyDeleteI love murder mysteries and thrillers, but also cozy mysteries with or without paranormal elements. My taste tends to be eclectic and I jump from genre to genre or go through phases.
Happy Easter! I'm glad you had fun. A change of pace can be great. I loved Dark Horse but I'm really worried about what is next for Evan.

Up to No Gouda sounds fabulous. I should have gotten that cheese series to read while I'm over here in France.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had fun with the ultimate Frisbee team tryouts. So what if you don't make the team if it was fun!
Wow! You sure had a busy week!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Sunday Post!

Happy Easter! My husband is the guy who runs the video feed for our church (via zoom...something that came out of the pandemic) and there are always kinks to iron out. Gotta love technology! - Melinda @ A Web of Stories
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! Glad the Power point went well. New software is always a bit tricky. Up to No Gouda looks amazing and I have a copy of the Lynn Cahoon book and am so excited! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteYay to having fun! And to reading something different!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
I've only read the first in the Orphan X series but do plan to go on with the series someday. I'm glad you had a fun Saturday. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter. Hope it's another good week for you.
