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

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
The temperatures were as predicted this week. Sadly. For the majority of the week, it was in the lower 60's. We even had a couple of days that didn't get out of the 50's. While we only got a little drizzle, we did have some cloudy days as well. Not my idea of April weather. That's January weather.
Today (Saturday) is in the 70's and sunny. I'm much happier. Supposed to be like that for the next few days as well.
Friday night, I went to the Good Friday service at my church. A couple of the members of the congregation created a passion play incorporating some songs. It was nice.
Saturday morning, I had walking book club (a localish library hosts - a small group of people come and talk about books we've been reading while we walk around the neighborhood). I was a few minutes late since I left later than I intended (as always) and then hit some traffic on the way there. Fortunately, the traffic had been cleaned up by the time I headed home.
Sunday, I'll be going to my church service in the morning and then spending the rest of the day with some friends.
And I think that catches you up on my incredibly exciting week.
Blog Spam Comment of the Week:
It's been a while since I had one of these. But I got a pretty mockable spam comment. This was posted on one of my book review from 10 years ago:
Thank you for sharing, I was just looking for something like this, you had a great time, greetings! Nice post thank's for sharing this information. it is really helpfull for us.
Yes, the spelling errors are in the original. Then, at the end, we got a link. Got a nice laugh out of it.
This Past Week on the Blog:
This Coming Week on the Blog:
Book Haul:
The first is #Throwback for Murder, the fourth Trending Topics Mystery from Sarah E. Burr. I'm really looking to it since I enjoy her books and I haven't read one yet this year. Her main character in this series is a social media star, which makes for something outside of the ordinary for the books I typically read. I'll be starting it soon since it comes out May 6th.
The other book is a book I got from the library. Thanks to the Libby app, I got the digital version of A Killing in Costumes by Zac Bissonnette. It's been out a couple of years, but I never have gotten around to reading it. The main characters are former soap opera stars and former spouses who have opened a vintage Hollywood memorabilia shop in Palm Springs. Sadly, it appears this was a one and done since it's been almost three years since the book came out and there's no sign of a sequel.
What I'm Currently Reading:
Up next will be A Killing Way by J.R. Sanders. I'm sticking with LA, but going back to the 1930's and a book that will again bring the characters up to my part of the county. The main character is a PI, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he gets up to this time around.
That's it for me this week. Hope you have a great week.
I live in Pennsylvania and our weather was similar to yours. We did have some lovely days this week, though. Happy Easter to you!
ReplyDeleteYes, your weather does sound kind of dreary. Here in Southern New Mexico we have gotten wind and dust! It’s almost like living in quarantine again. I’m finding I really enjoy bookish cozy mysteries. I love that black and white cover on A Killing Way. Happy Easter and reading!
ReplyDeleteWow, your weather was cooler than ours was last week. You're in luck because during Malice highs are expected to be in the 70s, except on Sunday when it might be in the 60s. I'm glad you mentioned the release date for #Throwback for Murder because I was all mixed up. When I added it to my calendar, I was looking at the archive date on NetGalley, which is July 9th. Big difference! So it looks like this one is up next for me. Have a great week and I'll see you soon! :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the cold, gloomy weather, but I'm also enjoying the sun today and having my windows open. Such a lovely breeze.
ReplyDeleteLove the cover of A Killing Way.
We are happy it has been cool here lately. We've had a wonderful strong breeze this month and last month.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books!
I hope your weather stays nice for a while. The walking book club sounds like fun. Hope you have a great week! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteWe had warmth, wind, dust, and snow this week in northern New Mexico, pretty standard for Spring ;-) Looks like you have no shortage of reading material! Always a good thing :-) Hope you r week ahead is great!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! I have had a super quiet day, which has felt good after a busy week.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week.
I love the idea of a walking bookclub.

If your weather occurred here, we'd all be ecstatic. I woke up to two new inches of snow this morning. Your walking bookclub sounds great. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice week. I love the idea of a walking book group - fun! I get those crazy spam comments all the time - often on a very old post (a tell-tale sign of spam!). It's fun to read books set locally where you recognize the area and landmarks. Enjoy your books this week!

I love the covers of the first 2 books. I'll check them out. Thanks for joining MM!
ReplyDeleteWe are a bit warmer but it looks like it's going to be rainy and gross all week so there's that. I love the spam comment - those nicely vague ones always mystify me. Have a great week!
