It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
This was a fairly uneventful week for me. We had a huge rain storm hit on Thursday. Part of LA was getting rain on Wednesday, but we didn't have much where I live. And there have been floods and mud slides due to the storm, but nothing that has impacted me, thankfully. They did let us work from home on Thursday (we are hybrid, so Monday and Friday are at home every week), which was nice. I enjoy rain so much more when I don't have to be out in it.
Friday, being Valentine's Day, I celebrated in my own way. I did my taxes. Always try to do them as soon as I get all my forms, which often means President's Day weekend. Nice to do that at the beginning of the long weekend.
Yes, my job does give us Monday off. First place I've ever worked where we get a holiday between New Year's Day and Memorial Day. I'll probably be celebrating it around the condo reading and watching TV. Still trying to work my way through the Christmas movies I recorded in the last three months of 2024. We'll see if I ever do that again.
Saturday morning, I did have my walking book club again. It was a nice sunny morning. It was cool in the shade but warm when we were out in the sun.

Book Haul:
Seriously, all of the books on my list are books he has written. As a note, he writes thrillers, not the mysteries I typically read.
I've been expecting one of them since his newest Orphan X book came out on Tuesday. No, I hadn't preordered it (was thinking about going to the launch party, but ultimately decided against it). But I did stop by my local Barnes and Nobel (only new bookstore in town) and picked up a copy of Nemesis. Looking forward to reading it.
Meanwhile, some of his earlier books that I've never read when on sale on Kindle. It looks like The Tower, his first standalone, is still on sale.
Meanwhile, three of the four books in his earlier series, the Tim Rackley Thrillers, went on sale. At this point, The Kill Clause and The Program have reverted to their regular price, but I see that Troubleshooter is now on sale, so I just snagged it.
As I said, a Gregg Hurwitz kind of week.
What I'm Currently Reading:
That's it for me. Have a great week!
Enjoy your day off! I’m still appalled that the US is afforded so little time off work. I’m grateful for our numerous public holidays and annual four weeks vacation.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely reading week
I am really hoping to get to Alaska over the next few years. I only have that and Vermont and then I have been to all 50 states, plus my husband went ( I had to work and couldn't go with him) and said it was gorgeous
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you were able to get your taxes done. I'm not sure why we work so many days here in the US. One of the few benefits of working in the schools is having vacation time.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of a walking book club.
I really like the idea of a walking book club! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your days off. My partner is a teacher so he gets the same amount of time off as my oldest son which is nice. I am currently a stay at home mum with my youngest so we shall see what the future holds for me when he goes to school and I get back into work. I have never done taxes as I've always been employed by companies that sort them out 😂
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

ReplyDeleteI also have Monday off. Thank goodness! I’m terribly behind in my book deadlines. Sounds like a nice book haul for you. I hope you have a wonderful week!
Glad the storm missed you! I put so many Christmas movies on my list that it will take me quit a while to watch all
ReplyDeleteof them.
Glad the rains didn't effect you too much and glad you have a day off for a relaxation! I think my husband reads Greg Hurwitz, but I've never tried him. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day off and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGlad you get the day off. Me, too, kind of. I tend to work even on my days off, though I am getting better about that. I stopped recording movies for that very reason. My DVR was full of unwatched ones. I did, however, keep the favorite ones on there. All your books sound great. Termination Dust is such a neat title. Enjoy your week.

Sounds like you had a good week. Rain is much more pleasant to look at than to drive in. Enjoy your day off. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt bucketed rain up here in Santa Barbara, which was nice. My taxes are looming and I must get them done this week!
