August 24th's Sunday/Monday Post

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

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

Another mostly quiet week around here.  The calm before the storm since next week starts quarter end close at work (slightly off fiscal year for this accountant), and we've had some extra craziness.  But that's next week's problem.

As predicted, the temps went up again, and I'm quite happy about it.  I celebrated by hitting Six Flags Hurricane Harbor on Saturday for a few hours.  It's included in my pass, and I hadn't been yet this year.  It was fun and a great way to stay cool.  Didn't stay too long, thought, since I didn't want to stand around in long lines by myself.  Hopefully, I didn't get too sun burned (yes, I put on sun screen, but that doesn't mean anything, I always miss something), but we'll see.

Book Haul:

I've got two ARCs to tell you about this week.

The first is a physical ARC from Kensington, Murder at Cottonwood Creek by Clara McKenna.  This is book seven in her Stella and Lyndy series.  I'm a bit worried since it is taking the characters from England to Montana.  I struggled a bit with the last book set in Scotland.  Hopefully, I will enjoy this one even though the characters aren't at home.  This one comes out at the end of November.

I snag the other ARC from Netgalley.  It's The Devil Comes Calling by Annette Dashofy.  It's book three in her Detective Honeywell series, and I'm looking forward to revisiting the characters again.  This one comes out the beginning of November.  

I've got some good reading coming up in November.



What I'm Currently Reading:

Can you believe I'm already working on books I'll review in September?  It feels early to me, although when you look at it, September starts on a Monday, so these reviews will be posted on the 2nd and the 4th.  That's coming up very quickly.  Anyway, both of these are ARCs for debuts that come out on the 9th of the month.

I just finished Whiskey Business by by Adrian Andover.  This was a delightful mystery, and I am already looking forward to the second.  I still need to write the review, but I've got a little time.

That means this weekend I'm working on A Murder Most Fowl by Carmela Dutra.  It's fun so far, although I'm not that far into it yet.  Hopefully, it will keep me entertained.

That's it for me.  Hope you have a great week!
