It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
We have entered quarter end at work, thanks to our slightly off fiscal year. I'm as set up as I can be, but this coming week is going to be brutal. I'll get through it. I always do. But it won't be fun.
Also not fun? Having internet that comes and goes. I'll have it for a few minutes, then it will vanish again. Then come back. It started Thursday night, and it's making all my online stuff take so much longer than normal. But I have a technician coming out on Sunday to take a look. Hopefully, they can get it fixed. It started right out my power went out for about 30 minutes, so maybe that caused it?
I went paddle boarding Saturday morning. Yes, our weather has warmed up significantly. It felt great to be out on the water. I need to get passes again instead of just going with my friend. I think if I get passes again, I'll go more often. At least that's my hope. But there are so many other things to be doing and only so many weekend hours, right?
One other thing. Remember when I went to watch a sitcom taped back in September? It's finally airing this week! It's the episode of Happy's Place that will air this Friday.

Book Haul:
I've got another three books to tell you about this week.
Up first is Someone Murderous at the Midnight Motel by Kris Bock. I'm ashamed to say I've had the first few books in this series for a while, and I have yet to read any of them. So, why did I get another one? Because this one was free on Kindle. And it looks like it still is as of Saturday afternoon. It's book five in the series, so I now have books one through three and five. I'll have to snag four at some point, but obviously, I have some time before I'll be wanting to read it.
I also snagged Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife by Martin Edwards. Honestly, this was a very spur of the moment purchase. I know I'd heard about it, but it wasn't really on my radar to read. But with it being on sale, I decided to jump on it. After all, you can never have too many books to potentially read, right? You never know when you might suddenly have to go a couple of years without ever buying a new book again.
Which brings us to the last new book for the week. This one is an eARC - The Bush Tea Murder, the first in a new series by Ashley-Ruth Bernier. It combines a culinary cozy with a place I've been - St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. That's pretty much all I know about it, so hopefully, I enjoy it. We'll find out pretty soon since it comes out in April.
How is that next month already?
Late Breaking Addition:
I thought I'd finish this section, and was getting a link to talk about the book I'm currently reading when I discovered that Death of a Legend, book eight in the Myrtle Beach Mysteries, is on sale for 99 cents. In fact, it looks like the first eight books are all on sale, probably to celebrate the release of the latest in the series, which just came out. Anyway, I snagged that.
Which brings the total up to four for the week.
What I'm Currently Reading:
I'm currently working on Death at Tidal Creek by Caleb Wygal. This is book five in his Myrtle Beach Mysteries. So far, I'm enjoying it. It's taken a couple of turns I wasn't quite expecting. And I'm about to go read some more.
Have a great week!
I can remember when my dad had to work overtime at the end of the quarter. You'd think we would have a better way to do things so that the work is not so intense now. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI hope work isn’t as bad as you expect.
ReplyDeleteThe black out might have caused a short in either a cable or your modem that’s affecting your connection, hopefully it’s an easy fix for you.
Wishing you a happy reading week
Your new books all sound good. I have been trying really hard to resist buying books just because they are on sale. Some weeks are better than others. I do hope you enjoy your impulse purchases. I also hope you busy work week runs smoothly. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI love Happy's Place, I'll make sure to watch it this Friday.
ReplyDeleteThat loin joke was funny.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
That's so fun about the sitcom! It's amazing how far ahead they shoot. Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife is on my radar. It looks really interesting. Have a great week and good luck about the internet situation!
