Labor Day Weekend's Sunday/Monday Post

It's the weekend!  Even better, here in the States, it's a long weekend!  Hope you are up to something fun if you have the extra day off.  Or even if it's a normal weekend for you.  Anyway, I'll be linking up to:

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

I hinted at trouble at work when I posted last weekend.  I was facing some extra work thanks to some external events.  (Yes, I'm being vague on purpose.  More specifics will either get me into trouble for sharing too much or confuse you.  Or both.)  Happily, I was able to get the information I needed on Wednesday, when I had the time to do that extra work instead of trying to cram it all into Thursday, which would have already been busy.  So that made me very happy.

This weekend will be all about relaxing and having fun with friends because next weekend will be sprinting full steam ahead into quarter end close.  Not looking forward to that.  But that's next week's problem.

And I'm hoping to spend my extra day off chilling around the condo.  Sounds like fun to me.

I only know one bad pun about paper.  It’s tearable.

Book Haul:

I was good this week.  I only have two books to tell you about.  One ARC and one preorder.  That's right, no impulse buys.

The ARC  is Crescent City Christmas Chaos, the fourth Vintage Cookbook Mystery from Ellen Byron. I love her books, so I'm looking forward to it.  The book comes out at the beginning of November, so I've got a couple of months before I'll be reading it.

My other new books is  Claws Out by Cate Conte.  This is book 9 in her Cat Cafe Mysteries.  I'm hoping to get to it soon.  In fact, I'm thinking I might start it next.

What I'm Currently Reading:

At the moment, I'm working on Watching the Detectives, the fifth Country Club Mystery from Julie Mulhern.  I'm woefully behind on this series, which is funny since I always enjoy them so much when I pick them up.  I need to try to catch up.

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