It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
You'll remember last week, I talked about having internet issues. Last Sunday, the tech came out and fixed whatever was going on with my internet. He's not completely sure what he did, either. He tightened a few connectors and checked a bunch of stuff. He confirmed it wasn't working right when he got here, so something he did fixed the problem. And my internet has been working just fine since then.
Other than that, it's been a bit of a crazy week at work. But we have the extra reporting with insane deadlines finished up - or at least my part of it. Now, to start working on my normal next work load starting on Monday.

Book Haul:
It's another four book week here.
Up first is the only physical book, and it is an ARC of In the Spirit of French Murder, the fourth American in Paris Mystery from Colleen Cambridge. This series features Julia Child as a supporting character and is set in Paris in 1950. I usually enjoy it, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the characters get up to next.
This next one was a spur of the moment purchase. I can't exactly call it a splurge since the ebook was on sale for 99 cents. Murder by the Book is the first in the Cosy Crime Club Mysteries by M. R. G. Davies. It sounds like something I would enjoy, and for that price, I'm willing to give it a shot.
The final two books are ebooks I bought because they are next in series I read and I'm hoping to get to them soon.
Home Sweet Homicide is the fifth Hometown Mystery from Rosalie Spielman. I read and enjoyed the first four last year. I plan to read this one soonish so I'll be ready for book six, which I believe is coming out this fall.
Finally came Hawai'i Volcanoes, the latest Jack Prester Mystery from Sandy Dengler. The main characters here are National Parks rangers who head to parks that are having extraordinary problems. This is a series I've enjoyed for years, so I'm always happy to jump into the latest entry.
What I'm Currently Reading:
I'm currently working on Birth of the Black Orchids by M.R. Dimond. It's really more a novella length with two short stories in it. I read the first story on Friday and I'm hoping to get further into the second one. The first was a little slow, so I'm hoping this one will be better. It's off to a promising start.
By Monday, I expect to be working on Broken Trust. this is book three in the Laurel Highlands Mysteries from Liz Milliron. This is one of two series I'm making a concerted effort to read more books in this year. I won't get caught up, but I'm hoping to be much closer.
Have a great week!
Who can resist a eBook for 99cents. I know I wouldn't.
