It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
Fairly quiet week around here. Didn't do much outside of work. It was super hot in the middle of the week, but it's cooled down some now. I'm mean, it's still July in So Cal, but we're talking lower 90's instead of near 100. And yes, those 10 degrees do make a difference.
Saturday was ornament premier at Hallmark, so I went and picked up a few ornaments. I don't think I'll buy as many this year as in year's past, but I often say that in July. We'll see what I wind up with at the end of the year.
I've run into an issue with one of my library cards. Yes, I have three: local city, county, and then one for a large city near me. And it's the third one that I can't seem to use on Libby right now. I was trying to get a couple of audiobooks, too. Not sure when I will be going down to a branch that could help me either, which is frustrating.
And this Saturday is game day, so I need to get this post finished up so I can go have fun playing games.
Joke of the Week:
This Past Week on the Blog:
This Coming Week on the Blog:
Book Haul:
The first is Dead, White and Blue, the second Northwoods Mystery from Annie McEwen. I've heard such great things about this series. I'm hoping to get to the first soon. But I couldn't pass up getting the second for free. It was on special over the 4th. Love that tie in.
The second is still free as of my typing this on Saturday. It's Max and the Multiverse by Zachry Wheeler. You aren't seeing things, I actually got a scifi book. A mystery author I like was plugging it in her newsletter, talking about it being funny. I had to give it a try, and the price is right.
These next two are ARCs. Edam and Weep is book six in Linda Reilly's Grilled Cheese Mysteries. I enjoy this series, so I'm looking forward to spending more time with the characters. Looks like the main character might be getting married in this one, although the teaser doesn't mention a wedding at all. We'll see when I get to it.
This week, Sarah E. Burr announced that her next Book Blogger Mystery is coming out at the end of August. Since I love this series, I jumped at the chance to get an ARC. It's called Fatal Sign-Off. I can't wait to see what the characters are up to in this book.
Finally, I was able to get one audiobook from my local city library (but not the two at the top of my list). What I got was Dark Sacred Night by Michael Connelly, the first time he teams up Harry Bosch with Renee Ballard. I'm interested to see how this pairing goes.
What I'm Currently Reading:
As of my typing this, I've just barely started Death Comes to Marlow by Robert Thorogood. It got bumped up my TBR pile by the announcement at the second season of The Marlow Murder Club is coming to PBS near the end of August. I'm assuming it will be based on this book, and I wanted to try to get it read first. Since I loved the first book, I'm looking forward to getting further into it.
Now, it's time to finish getting ready for game day. Have a good week!
