It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

What was I up to this week?  What wasn't I up to this week?

Monday started with a physical therapy appointment.  I saw a different person this time.  She was encouraging with my progress, and gave me some new exercises to make even more progress.  I was very happy about that.

Thursday night, my small group through church met for dinner, which was nice.  The normal hosts hosted us, and grilled some burgers, which were delicious.  We got lucky since at one point they were predicting rain on Thursdays.  We got some rain on Wednesday, and not much else.  Even the rain they were predicting for Saturday fell through.

Friday night, I went to see Pod Meets World Live in downtown LA.  This podcast is a rewatch podcast where three of the stars of the 90's sitcom Boy Meets World go through the show.  I've been enjoying it.  I'd skipped out on two earlier chances to go in the area, but I decided to go to this one.  The actor who played Mr. Feeney was there as well.  Plus, as special guests, were the two hosts of How Rude Tanneritos, a rewatch podcast for Full House that I've also been enjoying.  I had a blast.  I think I was laughing almost the entire two hours.

Blog Spam Comments on the Week:

Yes, you read that right.  Comments.  I woke up Wednesday morning to three spam comments from two different accounts on one blog post.  The two from the same account were identical, but these other two were nearly so.  They were so close, I had to laugh.  And then save them to share.

Here's the first:

Brilliantly presented! Your post is both insightful and thought-provoking. Appreciate you sharing your valuable perspective.

And the second:

Thank you for the interesting and thought-provoking perspectives presented in your blog posts.

I mean, two people found my blog post brilliant and thought-provoking.  I feel so honored.

Got to love spam comments.  They are so good for the ego.

Book Haul:

Just three books to tell you about this week.

Up first is "Y" is for Yesterday, the final Kinsey Millhone Mystery from Sue Grafton.  I got this as an audio book from my local library.  This is a series I've been working on for a while, and it's hard to believe I'm going to finish it.

Then I snagged a couple of Kindle freebies.  As of my writing, it looks like they are both still free.

The first was Dead Letters by Sheila Lowe, the eighth in her Claudia Rose Forensic Handwriting Mysteries.  I've only read the first, and I don't have the second.  But I've got books six and eight now.  Guess I need to get book two and read it soon.

The final book is Jingle Bells, Rifle Shells by Bruce Hammack.  It was recommended in an author newsletter this week, and I decided to snag it.  We've got a blind PI main character, so it will definitely be something different.  We will see when I get to it.

What I'm Currently Reading:

If you've been paying attention to my Book Haul the last couple of weeks, these are going to look very familiar.

Let's start with "Y" is for Yesterday by Sue Grafton.  I'm almost to the half way point in the book, which is great since I'm hoping to finish it when I drive up to visit my family for Thanksgiving.  It's a long audiobook, so I need to get a good jump on it.  I have some traditional things I listen to on the way home from Thanksgiving to kick off the Christmas season, so I don't want to have this book take up the entire drive home.

Meanwhile, I'm currently between books.  Earlier today, I finished up Over My Dead Blog by Sarah E. Burr.  This is the first book blogger mystery, and I enjoyed it.  I'll be reviewing it after Thanksgiving, so I've got a bit of time to get my review written.

I had hoped to start The Body in the Cornfield today, but I'm being very lazy.  (Had hoped to get a couple of reviews written, too, but I don't think that's going to happen.)  This is the second in Catherine Dilt's Rose Creek Mysteries.  I loved the first, and I'm really looking forward to reading this book.

I think that wraps things up here.  If you are in the US, have a happy Thanksgiving!  Hope everyone has a fantastic week.
