Greetings! It's time for another Sunday/Monday Post. As usual, I will be linking up to:

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
Not too much to report here this week. We successfully closed the books on another month at work. We got some rain, mostly on Thursday. It wasn't too much, but it looks like we've got a ton of rain coming this coming week. Unfortunately, after the fires we've had, that probably means some mud slides and/or flooding. If it's not one thing, it's another, right?
Today is game day, so I'm trying to get this ready early, although I'll hold off on posting it until late on Saturday.
Are you planning to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday? I'll be watching from somewhere. The friends I normally watch it with are out of town. We will see if anything else comes together or not. If not, I have plenty to do on my computer while also watching the game, so I'll be more than fine watching it by myself.

Book Haul:
I seem to be collecting books like crazy so far in 2025. Yes, I've got lots more to tell you about.
Of course, it helps that I'm collecting ARCs still. March is going to be very busy.
The first of the new ARCs is Silent as the Grave, the new Molly Murphy Mystery from Rhys Bowen and Clare Broyles. Honestly, I don't know much more about it than that. But it's book twenty-one in a series I've been reading for over twenty years. So it really doesn't matter, right? The book comes out the beginning of March, so I'll be reading it soon. These books are set in the early 1900's New York City.
My next ARC is for a book coming out at the end of March. And it's another historical mystery. Homicide in the Indian Hills by Erica Ruth Neubauer is the sixth in a series set in the 1920's. Each book has been set in a different location. Obviously, this one will be in India.
Next up is another historical mystery. This one is set in France in the 1950's. I'm talking about A Fashionably French Murder by Colleen Cambridge. This series is fun since it features Julia Child as a supporting character. It doesn't come out until late in April, so it will be a little longer before I read it.
Let's switch away from ARCs and historical mysteries. Like, maybe, to culinary cozy mysteries. Dana Mentink recently released a fourth book in her Scoop Shop Mysteries, Thrown for a Scoop, and she gave it away for free to her newsletter subscribers. Naturally, I jumped at that.
Finally, I stopped by my local Barnes and Noble on Tuesday to buy a new release. Sadly, they had their pre-order sale just a few days to late for me to save on this one, but I'm not complaining (too loudly). That book is London Calling the sixth City Spies book by James Ponti.
What I'm Currently Reading:
I'm reading a book called London Calling by James Ponti. Sound familiar? This is a middle grade series I love, and I couldn't wait to get into it and find out what is going to happen next to the characters. I'm about a quarter of the way into it and loving it. Not looking like I will get too much read Saturday, but I'm sure I'll finish it up in the early part of next week.
That's it for me. Have a great week!
Enjoy the Super Bowl! I'm not sure if I'll be watching. I mostly just watch because I like Super Bowl party food, but I'm on a diet.
ReplyDeleteI won't be watching the game, but hope you find somewhere good/fun to watch. I love getting lots of new books, but it also overwhelms me.
ReplyDeleteThe only games I like to watch on tv are bowling and Winter Olympics.
ReplyDeleteI bet that James Ponti series is fun. I think I will bookmark the Paris book for July.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a football person, so I think we will watch a little more Vera instead!
Super Bowl is on, but I'm not watching. The Patriots aren't in it. Hope the mudslides and flooding aren't too bad. You guys need a break. All your books sound good. Hope you have a nice week.

The Super Bowl game was surprising because we didn’t expect the Eagles to win by so much!
ReplyDeletehope the game turned out to your liking, it sure did for me!! You are going to be busy reading next month. I had to stop a lot of my ARCs due to being so busy in life and my reading slowing down...but I will get back to reading quicker in the future! Have a wonderful week
ReplyDeleteI did sort of watch the Super Bowl. I was also playing computer games at the time. Looks like you got a nice assortment of books to add to your stack. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
