It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
Our weather was fairly consistent this week. It was in the low 80's, which is my ideal temperature, so I am not complaining at all. That is except for Wednesday, when temps dropped to the low 70's. Just that one day. Weird.
It was a quiet week at work. Lots of people were on vacation, so our three office days were dead. I had a project I wanted to get to, and I still didn't get to it. Oh well. It would have been a nice to do, not a must do.
I've been having trouble focusing on much of anything this week. Hopefully, a restful weekend will help me fight that when next week starts.
Joke of the Week:
What did the ghost used to get wrinkles out of its sheet?
Boo-tox.

Book Haul:
Turned out I wound up with three books to talk about this week.
The first is the pre-order that was still in the mail last weekend. Fallen Star is the sixth Eve Ronin book from Lee Goldberg. These are police procedurals set here in LA County. I've been reading Lee's books for many years, and I usually enjoy them. I'm hoping to get to this one in November.
Next up is A Whale of a Murder by Valerie Taylor. This cozy mystery caught my eye a while ago, and the ebook was free. I can't pass that up. Looks like it is still free as of my typing this Friday night, so check it out if you think you might be interested.
My last book for the week is No Stone Left Unturned, the fourth Detective Honeywell Mystery from Annette Dashofy. It comes out the middle of December, so this is an ARC. I'll be reading it in December.
What I'm Currently Reading:
Earlier this week, I read and enjoyed Crescent City Christmas Chaos by Ellen Byron. This is book four in her Vintage Cookbook Mysteries set in New Orleans. This book comes out next week, which is why I am reading it now instead of waiting until closer to Christmas. I enjoyed it, which isn't a surprise since I usually enjoy Ellen's books. I've got to write my review yet, but I've got a little over a week to do that.
Which means I am currently reading another ARC. This time, it's The Devil Comes Calling, the third Detective Honeywell Mystery by Annette Dashofy. No, you aren't seeing double. The publisher decided to release books three and four close about six weeks apart, so book three comes out the first week of November, with book four coming out the middle of December. Normally, I don't like to read books by one author that close together, but in this case I've got no choice. I'm about half way into the book as I type this, and I'm enjoying it. As always with Annette's books, the further I get into the book, the harder it is to put down.
That's it for me. Have a great week!
Your quiet week at work sounds nice, hopefully you'll have a relaxing weekend and are are more able to focus next week. That Ellen Bryon Vintage Cookbook series looks good.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite enjoying Amazing Race this time around though I don't love it when the teams have alliances.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile is was 108F here on Wednesday, a one off (record breaking) high!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful reading week
I liked Fallen Star and Crescent City Christmas Chaos - two very, very different books. I hope you enjoy Fallen Star. I envy you your weather. It's 54 and sunny here today which is about as good as it gets in October here. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting less humid and it's dipping down into what I consider cold (60s/70s) at night which is kind of nice. I really enjoy what I've read from Ellen Byron but haven't started her newest series yet. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to me that you don't normally like to read books by the same author close together. That's one of the reasons I don't like series---I want to read everything right now and not wait.
ReplyDeleteHa ha haha! I really love your Joke of the week!
