Welcome to the weekend and another Sunday Post. I will be linking up to:

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
It's been quite a week here in LA. yes, I am safe. The worst fires, the ones dominating the news coverage (as they should be) are quite a ways away from me. There was a fire at the south end of town but I live a ways from that one. The closest fire to me started Wednesday afternoon, but they had it under control before I went to bed. And the wind has been blowing south, so all the smoke hasn't even been bothering me.
But this isn't to say I haven't been very distracted all week. It's been a struggle to get anything done at work. I have two book reviews to write, one of which I am planning to post on Thursday. (Gulp).
Anyway, I have a few things packed and ready to load into the car if something near me starts and I do have to evacuate. While the winds won't be as bad as they have been, we are still supposed to have windy conditions for the next few days. And the air is so dry, at times it feels like moisture is being pulled out of my body.
Hopefully, my concentration can become a little better because I don't think things are going to change for at least another week. And I have things I need to get done at work.
But enough of this. Let's move on.

Book Haul:
Let's start with the bargain books. First up was Killing Dylan by Alastair Puddick. This book sounded funny. It's been on my radar for a while, so when it was cheap right after Christmas, I snagged it.
The other sale book I got was Murder at Vinland by Alyssa Maxwell. This is the most recent in her Gilded Newport series, and it went on sale for one day this last week. I have a long ways to go before I will be ready for it, but naturally, I snagged it.
As the year was winding down, I got notified that I was about to lose some of my Kindle points, and I was so close to another reward. I didn't have a choice but to buy a Kindle book and then immediately convert my points and redeem them for another book, right? I got two books in series I've been reading this last year, Legally Blind Luck by James J. Cudney and The Tale of the Tenpenny Tontine by P.J. Fitzsimmons.
Which brings us to the two physical books I got this week. Both are also in series I've already started. They were on my Christmas list, but my family got me other books from my Christmas list instead. (There are always lots of books on my list).
A Killing Way is the latest Nate Ross Mystery from J.R. Sanders. These are set in LA in the 1930's, and I always enjoy them.
Then there's the second in the Turner and Mosely Files from LynDee Walker and Bruce Robert Coffin - The Cardinal's Curse. I really enjoyed the first one and I'm looking forward to reading this one.
