It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
Today, I got out and went for a hike in a nearby county park. Got to enjoy a little bit of green still. It won't be long until just about everything around here is brown. There was even still a little water in the creek.
That was pretty much my week, so shall we move on?
This Past Week on the Blog:
Wednesday - Can't Wait Wednesday featuring Death in the Aegean
This Coming Week on the Blog:
Sunday - Disney Pin Review: Stitch Crashes Peter Pan
Monday - Ornament Review: Book Lover Belle
Tuesday - Book Review: The Shadow of Memory by Connie Berry
Wednesday - TV Show Review: Moon Knight
Thursday - Book Review: Murder at Blackwater Bend by Clara McKenna
Friday - ???? Most likely a Friday post
Saturday - Weekly TV Thoughts
No, I haven't quite decided what I will post next Friday. I'm not too impressed with either of the books I've read to review next week, so I don't want to highlight them. But I'll be starting a third, so maybe that will have some good quotes I can use. I know I like the author, so I expect the book to be one I'll want to promote as well. If not, it will be a movie review. I've got a ton of movie reviews sitting on my hard drive waiting for me to post.
Book Haul for the Week:
Murder with Lemon Tea Cakes by Karen Rose Smith is a book I've been eyeing for a while. The ebook went on sale this week, so I snagged it. Sadly, it looks like the sale is over today. Lots of people like this series, so I'm happy to give it a try...at some point.
More immediate will be The Navigator's Daughter. I've enjoyed one of author Nancy Cole Silverman's earlier series, so I'm anxious to get into her new series. She sent me an eARC. The book comes out June 7th, so I'll be reading this one shortly.
Finally, my pre-order of Murder on Madison Square by Victoria Thompson arrived. I know I won't get to this one until next year some time. It's number 25 in the series, and I just read number 20 last month. It's rare that I don't read a series in order, so I'm not planning to skip ahead to this one, especially since I'm so close.
What I'm Currently Reading:
That about wraps things up here. Have a great week, everyone.
That looks like a beautiful walk. The weather has been pretty good here too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading.
It keeps saying ‘anonymous’ for some reason. But it’s Maureen ;)
ReplyDeleteNice hiking trail!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a nice haul Mark! Hiking is such a wonderful activity - great scenery and provides a real sense of accomplishment. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to get outside and enjoy the weather. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThe hike sounds really nice. I've been looking at the Karen Rose Smith series too. It does look like a good one. I hope you enjoy your books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI miss hiking. I've been working too many hours recently. All I do is work and sleep :). I'm glad you survived the busy work week! I hope this week is calmer.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul, Mark. That hike sure looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a lovely place to go hiking. It was a pretty busy week too. Hopefully we'll both get some free time to enjoy our new reads:)
ReplyDeleteThe sky looks so blue in that photo!
ReplyDeleteThe books look good. I've been lucky and liked the books I've read recently. It's always a worry when I am on a blog tour that I might not enjoy them!
Have a great weekend!

The Navigator's Daughter is catching my eye. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteGetting out for a hike sounds great and in So Cal we've had really good weather for it recently. Looks like you've got some good books coming up. I've just tested positive for Covid so am glad that I work from home. It's crazy to see all the appointments, etc that I have to cancel this week!
ReplyDeleteI hope your mom has a great Mother's Day! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pic- and hiking too. Murder at Blackwater Bend looks good, so I'll be curious to see what you thought of it, and your thoughts on Moon Knight too, which I had mixed feelings about.
3 new books isn't bad. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to get out with nice weather and greenery. I really enjoyed the Victoria Thompson book.

Looks like you had a lovely, peaceful week both at home and at work. :)
ReplyDeleteMy dad was an accountant and I remember how he had to often work overtime to wrap up a month.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun for me to pick up a book I've been eyeing while it is on sale. I hope you enjoy Murder with Lemon Tea Cakes.
We always say we will cut back our books and then... I bet getting out in the fresh air after dealing with all those numbers is exactly what your head needed.
ReplyDeleteCutting back our books. Hmmmm, right up there with getting rid of some books! Doesn't really happen right! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThings are just beginning to "green up" in my area. Nice to get a walk in. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteIt’s finally starting to look like autumn here, it’s nice to have blue skies without the brain melting heat.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
Your green turning brown is just the opposite of here. Winter dull is just starting to green up. I'm looking forward to some leaves on trees. I like reading a series in order too but I have a review book on my stack that is numbered somewhere in the 20s and I've only read the first book. Should be interesting! Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYeah for the harder working days of the month to just about be over! And that you enjoyed Claws for Suspicion, I did, as well! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI love the green days. Sorry it will go to brown.
ReplyDeleteNice book haul. I like the cozy and the Navigator's Daughter sounds good. Have a good week and Happy Reading!
Thanks for your kind thoughts on my blog.
We are in the green things too but soon everything here is going to look a bit toasted. Gotta love crazy heat. I'm so glad your week went well. I'm trying to lower my incoming book count with mixed results! Hope you are having a wonderful week!
