October 30th's Sunday/Monday Post

It's late.  I should be in bed.  Instead, I'm here creating a Sunday/Monday post.  Let's see if I can do this quickly.  I'm linking up to:

It's Monday, What are You Reading?

Nothing unusual happened at work this week.  Close started Friday with day -2.  That means this coming week will be crazy.  Which is saying something because this last week was pretty crazy as well.

And Saturday was pretty crazy.  Got in a paddle at the lake early in the morning.  It was supposed to get windy in the afternoon, although it didn't seem that bad when I was out and about.  Then I met a couple of friends to do an escape room that some high schoolers created and were putting on at the local library.  We actually have three branches in my town, and this was the closest one to me.  As in I walked there and back.

Finally, some friends were hosting their annual Halloween party.  Sadly, this is about the only time I see them these days, but it is always wonderful to see them.  It's why I'm getting this post up when I should be in bed Sunday morning.  We were playing The Game of Things and laughing so hard at each other's answers.  Definitely a case of you needed to be there, but I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

So that's my week in a nutshell.

Book Haul:

I was doing so good.  I just had two pre-orders come in.  Up first was A Doomful of Sugar by Catherine Bruns.  I really want to read more of her books, and the first in a new series with a maple syrup theme sounds promising.  Then there was Murder at the Majestic Hotel by Clara McKenna.  This is the fourth in a great historical series, and I can't wait to find out what happens next.  Both of these were physical books.

Then I got the heads up about a couple of deals on Kindle books that I couldn't pass up.  Friday, Lakeside and Larceny by S. C. Merritt was free.  I already have the first but haven't read it yet.  Still, how can I stop from getting the second for free.  Then today, Bad Housekeeping by Maia Chance was on sale cheap.  I've read other books by this author, and always meant to try this series.  At that price, I had to pick it up.

What I'm Currently Reading:

I'm working on Peril in Paris by Rhys Bowen.  This is the newest in her series set in the 1930's and
featuring Georgie, a minor royal.  So far, I'm not that far into the book, we've just barely arrived in Paris.  I was hoping to make it further today, but I didn't have much reading time.  (Go back and look at what I did today.  I was hoping to finish this on Monday, but we'll see how much I get read on Sunday.

Have a fun Halloween tomorrow and a great week.
