November 17th's Sunday/Monday Post

Welcome to this week's Sunday/Monday Post.  As usual, I will be linking up to:

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

I'm looking back at my week trying to find something exciting to talk about.  Don't really have much.  Got a couple of things that we are trying to figure out before our fiscal year end (which is November 30), so that's making things more exciting at work.  Other than that, not too much to talk about.

Two weeks ago, I rearranged my living room to start putting up my Christmas trees.  With how late Thanksgiving is and the fact that I'm always out of town with family for both holidays, I really want to be done, or close to it, by the time I leave for Thanksgiving.  This past Wednesday, I finally got the trees out of their boxes.  But that's it so far.  So maybe I should get on with things and gets some lights and ornaments on them.

Joke of the Week:


Shout out to the people who demand to know what the opposite of “in” is.

Book Haul:

Believe it or not, I only have one book to tell you about this week.  I know, I can't believe it either.


Monday, the Kindle version of Always the First to Die by R.J. Jacobs was on sale, so I snagged it.  Sadly, it looks like the sale is over.  It's a bit of a departure for me since the book is more of a thriller.  But it's about real deaths surrounding the production of a slasher movie in the Florida Keys and the lead actress going back years later.  Given my fascination with slasher movies, this seems like something I have to at least try.  Whether I like it or not will remain to be seen.


What I'm Currently Reading:

As I'm typing this on Saturday afternoon, I'm currently between books.

I recently finished Wedding Bride and Doom by Mary Karnes.  It's the first in a series about a wedding planner solving mysteries.  Unfortunately, it felt a bit like a first book by a new author, which it is.  It needed a little more polish, but the biggest issue is that the climax only works because the main character is completely stupid.  But my full review is to come.

Up next will be Ashes Never Lie, the second Sharpe and Walker novel from Lee Goldberg.  Definitely not one of my cozies, this series features two arson investigators for LA County.  I usually enjoy his books, so I'm looking forward to diving into this one.

That's it for me.  Hope you have a good week.
