It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
It was a quieter week at work. With the craziest deadlines behind us, I was able to focus on what I'd normally be doing. And I got it all done. So now I can spend the next couple of weeks working on some other projects that come up. It never ends, does it? I guess that's job security.
In addition to the extra daylight at night (love it!), we also got warmer temps. It was in the upper 80's on Friday. That's rare this time of year, but I will take it!
Last Sunday was my birthday. I had a couple of celebrations this week, dinner with friends Tuesday and lunch with another friend on Thursday. Plus, I've been using all those emails you get from loyalty programs for extras, like desserts. I need to cut back this coming week!
I think that's about all the news around here. And since Saturday (today) is the game day my friends host, let's get to it.

Book Haul:
Of course, I got books for my birthday.
The first book I got was The Pirate's Secret by LynDee Walker and Bruce Robert Coffin. It's the third in a treasure hunt series. I enjoyed the first, but the second not as much. I want to give the series another try before I decide on it one way or another.
My other gift was The Glass Thief, the sixth Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery from Gigi Pandian. I need to read book five still, but I really want to get caught up on this series this year, especially since Gigi just announced she's be writing more with these characters, the first of those new books coming out next year. Anyway, I will hopefully get to this book this summer.
This last book was a birthday gift from the author. Only, she didn't intend it as such. The ebook version of Campfires & Corpses by Nikki Weber went on sale this week for...free! I've had my eye on this book for a while, so I snagged it. Maybe this will be the summer I get to the camping themed cozies I've gotten over the years. Anyway, this book looks like it is still free as of me typing this Saturday morning.
What I'm Currently Reading:
I'm hoping to get Frozen Stiff Drink by James J. Cudney finished before I head to game day. But we'll see if I make it. This is book six in a series, and I am determined to finish the series even though the writing is weak, making the entire book less fun to read.
Up next will be The Maze in the Heart of the Castle by Dorothy Gilman. She's one of my favorite authors, so I'm sure I will love it, although it's a bit different since this is more of a coming of age story than a mystery/adventure. At least I think it is. It will be interesting to see what I think of it and how it unfolds. But it has a connection to her book The Tightrope Walker, which I read last fall, so it made me want to read it.
That's it for me. Hope you have a great week!
