Father's Day's Sunday/Monday Post

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

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

Not much going on around here.  It was slightly less crazy at work since I got the majority of our extra work done last week.  I'm where I want to be, which is always a nice feeling.

Our AC went out in the office on Tuesday.  As much as I complain about the over air conditioning, I noticed it when it was out.  But they had it fixed by Wednesday.  Which is a good thing since we are supposed to hit the upper 90's this coming week.  Yes, summer is here!

Saturday is my friends' monthly game day.  I'll be heading over there in a bit and always look forward to it.  But I've got to get this finished and some reading done first.

Joke of the Week:


A guy goes in for a job interview and the manager says, “We’re looking for someone who is responsible.”
“Well, I’m your man,” the guy replies.  “In my last job, whenever anything went wrong, they said I was responsible.”

Book Haul:

After my big hauls the last couple of weeks, I only have two books to talk about this week.  Yes, I'm proud of myself.

I'd spotted Groucho Marx, Master Detective by Ron Goulart a while ago.  A mystery set in old Hollywood featuring Groucho Marx?  Yes, please!  The ebook when on sale, so I snagged it.  It looks like it is back to regular price at this point.  Hopefully, it is a fun as it sounds.

My other book is a physical book.  Music City Mayhem is a mystery set in Nashville and written by Billy Sprague, who is a singer and song writer.  It sounded good when I heard about it, so hopefully, I'll enjoy it when I get a chance to read it.


What I'm Currently Reading:

I'm about half way through Nemesis, the latest Orphan X book from Gregg Hurwitz.  I really enjoyed the first few books, but I feel like things are getting stale now.  And the politics he's thrown into the mix aren't helping things in this book.  As is the fact that, for a thriller, things to have stalled.  Partially because of the politics.  But I'll keep going.  I'm hoping to finish up on Monday.

That's it for me.  Have a great week!

  1. I wonder what games you and your friends like to play.

    And a big ugh! to no air conditioning. You are probably to young to remember a time pre-ac, but I will never forget those scorching hot summer days here along the Gulf Coast of Texas.

  7. We haven't turned on our air conditioning yet. In fact, the furnace has been on a least a few times this past week. Duluth seems to be having a summer in name only this year. Love the joke! Come see my week here. Happy reading!

  9. So glad the A/C was repaired quickly. It's only been in the low 90s here most days but the humidity is awful. The joke is great! Enjoy your new books and all the ones you've bought in previous hauls.
