Welcome to another weekend. It's time for my Sunday/Monday Post, where I will be linking up to:

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
It was a fairly quiet week around here. I tried to make sure I had everything done I needed done at work since fiscal year end starts this coming week, before Thanksgiving. Always a busy time of year for this account who works for a company with a slightly off fiscal year.
Weather wise, we got some rain and the temps remained cold - at least cold for us in Southern California. I actually turned on my heater for the first time this week.
Last night, I hung out with some friends for a movie night, and we are meeting up again Sunday for a movie in the theaters. And yes, you'll read my thoughts on both in the coming couple of weeks.
I think that's all the news around here.

Book Haul:
I've got a couple of books to tell you about this week, and I will be getting to both of them in December.
Up first is a last minute ARC I received. Catherine Dilts contacted me to let me know she had a third in her Rose Creek Mysteries coming out soon. I'd loved the first two in the series and had often wondered what happened to the characters, so I jumped at a chance to read The Body in the Hayloft. The book's release date is December 1st, so I'm trying to figure out when I'll post my review. But I can't wait to read it!
I've been planning to read Home for the Homicides by Rosalie Spielman in December. It's the fourth in a series I've been enjoying this year. I read the first three already this year. And reading a Christmas themed cozy in December? Sign me up, please. I was just about to buy it when the ebook went on sale for 99 cents. You'd better believe I jumped on that. As of my typing this, the book is still on sale, so if you are looking for a Christmas book for next month, now's the time.
What I'm Currently Reading:
I'm typing this early afternoon on Saturday, and as I type this, I'm again between books.
That's because the first thing I did when I got up today was finish the book I was currently reading. That was A Grave Deception by Connie Berry. This is book six in a series about an antiques expert who has moved to England and keeps finding herself embroiled in crimes with ties to the past. The series has been a little uneven, but I enjoyed this one. My review will be out a little ahead of publication, which is the ninth of December.
Up next is another December new release. Murder in Manhattan is the first in a new series from Julie Mulhern set in the 1920's. I did read the prequel novella earlier this year, but I'm looking forward to diving into a full novel and really getting to know the new characters.
That's all I have for this week. Have a great week and a wonderful Thanksgiving if you are celebrating.
