It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
It was warm in my corner of Southern California this week. Temps were in the 80's for most of the week. I loved it! Sadly, looks like we are going to cool of this coming week and it will be in the upper 60's a week from now. I'm ready for the full time warm weather at this point.
Thursday, I went to an author event here in town. J.R. Sanders was at one of the libraries talking about his book A Killing Way, which partially takes place in the town where I live. I'd already bought the book, so I took it with me to get it autographed. I haven't read it yet, but I'm hoping to get to it in a couple of weeks.
Saturday is my monthly game day, so I'm working on this first thing. Looking forward to it as always.

Book Haul:
Would you believe I have just one book to talk about this week? I know, I'm shocked as well. Even more surprising, it's not a book I should not even have yet.
My preorder of Hidden in Smoke by Lee Goldberg showed up this week. It's not officially released until the 22nd of the month. This is me not complaining. It's the third in his series about a couple of arson investigators who work for the LA County Sheriff's department. And it is going to cross over with his Eve Ronin characters again.
I'm reading a couple of ARCs that also come out this month at the moment. Then I'll probably read this book.
What I'm Currently Reading:
Friday night, I finished one of those ARCs. Murder Runs in the Family is the first in a new series from Tamara Berry. I'm still ruminating on my thoughts, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did her By the Book series.
I have barely started my next book - A Fashionably French Murder by Colleen Cambridge. This is the third An American in Paris Mystery which features Julia Child in 1950's Paris. No, she isn't the main character, but she is a strong character in the series since her neighbor and friend is the main character. I'm hoping to be about a third of the way into the book by the time the weekend is over so I can easily finish it up in the early part of the next week.
That's it for me. Have a great week!
Happy Holy Week. I am going to watch the service online since I've just had oral surgery. I plan on attending Good Friday service and Easter sunday service. We just had a bunch of snow here. :( I want real spring!!
ReplyDeleteI should keep the An American in Paris Mystery series in mind for this summer's Paris in July. It sounds perfect for a summer read.
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn I've read a Lee Goldberg book before so I just looked him up and I haven't. But wow! He has so many books and I didn't realize he'd written a couple famous series/TV shows. Cool.
ReplyDeleteHahaha we are SUCH opposites. I was complaining of the heat last week down here in the 818 and this morning I was so happy to wake up to a marine layer and cold breeze. The good news is, there's a SoCal for everybody! Hahahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteI love your joke of the week! I wonder if the guest paid the $15 instead :-) Don’t you just love literary surprises in the mail?
ReplyDeleteI read the first of the Colleen Cambridge novels a while ago and really loved it! I am pleased to see that there is a third book coming!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
I enjoyed Hidden in Smoke and hope you do too. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the "An American In Paris" series. You're right, Julia is a strong character, and so well written. Here's my Monday post: https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2025/04/14/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-9/comment-page-1/#respond
ReplyDeleteThe joke made me laugh! I'm on the waitlist for Murder Runs in the Family. It looks like a fun read though I'm sad to see you didn't enjoy it as much as you did her By the Book series. Have a great week!
