Welcome to another Sunday/Monday post. For everyone here in the USA, I hope you are having a good Memorial Day weekend. I do hope that, in the midst of the fun, it includes a little time to reflect on the people who have sacrificed everything for our freedom. It is something to truly be grateful for.
As always, I will be linking up to:

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
As you can see, I've already been out having some fun this weekend. This is me with my new paddle board. I've gone out a few times with a friend over the last year, and I enjoyed it so much that I bought one of my own. It arrived, Wednesday, and we took it out for the first time today (Saturday). I like it. Still have a few more things I need to get to be fully able to go out without borrowing anything from my friend, but I'm mostly all set. And no, I'm not standing on it in the second picture. My sense of balance is out of whack, so I usually sit. That was especially true today when it was cool out, at least by Southern California standards. I'll try standing more this summer I'm sure, when it is warmer out so I won't mind falling in. But today was a sit down so you stay dry kind of day. At least for me. My friend stood quite a bit of the time we are out, but she has done it a lot more than I have.
That's about all the excitement here this week.

Think that's about it for me. Have a great week!
Ooo, paddle boarding - great to see some fun outdoor activity. Enjoy and happy reading.
ReplyDeletePaddle boarding sounds like a great way to get some exercise. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHere in Michigan I bet the water is even colder. You look brave to be paddling.

Okay is your paddle board what New Englanders call kayaks? It looks similar. My son & has family each have one and the other day he went out fishing and caught a few as well LOL. Looks like you got some fun mysteries last week, hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with a paddle board, but I've been out many times in something that looks similar, a kayak. My friend has kayaks and I've often thought about getting one of my own, but they can be difficult to transport from place to place if you have a very tiny car like I do. Your paddle board looks like it will be great fun.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing all the new books that are coming your way. I greatly prefer physical books to ebooks.
Paddle boarding looks like a lot of fun. It is popular on the lakes of Wisconsin, but I have yet to try it. Looks like you have some great reading ahead of you. Hope you have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your paddle boarding! And your books. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI've never been on a paddle board but I love me a kayak so I'm sure I would enjoy a paddle board, but I imagine it takes a lot of upper body strength? Kind of like water skiing. I always thought water skiing would take leg strength, but it was always my back that got tired first.
ReplyDeleteBayou Book Thief just might be a good choice for me. I love mystery series, and when I'm done w/the biography I just began I may need something light. PS Enjoy the paddle boarding!
ReplyDeletePaddle boarding definitely sounds like so much fun. I hope you'll be able to use it many times.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading.
I've always wanted to try paddle boarding. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to balance, though, lol.

Those look so fun. I love kayaking but I've used a paddleboard.
ReplyDeleteI do love the Mulhern books.
Happy Memorial Day!
Looks like you are having a fun weekend! I'm going to be reading Bayou Book Thief soon. Looks good. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love kayaking but haven't been on a paddle board. Nice book haul.
ReplyDeleteThat paddleboard looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever tried paddle boarding, but my guess is that it is more difficult to stand than it seems like it would be.
ReplyDeleteThe paddleboarding looks like fun and good exercise too. I like your new books again. Now I off to check your review for Buried in a Good Book. Have a good, safe week and Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to try paddleboarding, but I also have bad balance. It never occurred to me that I could just sit on it! Have a great week! - Melinda @ A Web of Stories
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're having a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about Bayou Book Thief. Nice start to a new series. Paddle boarding looks like fun. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI think I would definitely be a sit and paddle board sort of person. I'm very interested in the Liz Ireland series. It sounds like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI would have to sit down to paddle board too but it looks so fun! I'm so excited about Bayou Book Thief. I hope you are having a wonderful week!
