It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
Fairly quiet week around here. Went to work. Came home. That was about it.
It was very hot. Like upper 90's all week. As much as I am a summer/warm weather guy, I wasn't quite ready for it yet. I would have preferred to have some spring weather first. But I'm sure it will cool back down to upper 70's or low 80's here soon. That's the sweet spot for me.

Book Haul:
I've got four books to tell you about this week.
Up first, is an audio book. It's been a while since I listened to one, so I got Fair Warning by Michael Connelly.
I also got a finished copy of Vengeance in Venice by Erica Ruth Neubauer.
I was thinking that Stakeouts and Strollers by Rob Phillips came out this coming week, so I was surprised when my preorder shipped. Yeah, it came out this past Tuesday. It's the first book, and it won a publishing contest - one that a couple of authors I've really enjoyed previously won. The main character is a new dad and a new PI trying to juggle the two. It sounds fun, so I'm hoping to get to it...soon.
Finally, I got a comic strip book. Been a while since I've bought one of those. But I've become a huge fan of Strange Planet, a comic from Nathan W. Pyle. I think between his social media posts and the page a day calendars I've had last year and this year, I've probably seen them all, but I still decided to get this collection of the strip.
What I'm Currently Reading:
You'll notice, I didn't say much about those first two books. That's because I'm currently working on them. So I saved talking about them for this part of the post.
Fair Warning is the third book Michael Connelly has written about reporter Jack McEvoy. I'm about a quarter of the way into the book, and I'm definitely interested in seeing where it is going to go. It's got a crazy connection, but I also really like that connection. It's going to make for an interesting ride seeing how it plays out.
Vengeance in Venice is the seventh Jane Wunderly mystery from Erica Ruth Neubauer. In this book, Jane and her new husband are taking a long delayed honeymoon in Venice, but they've gotten involved in murder. It's set in 1927. I always enjoy Jane's adventures. I'm about a third of the way into this one.
That's it for me. Have a great week!
When do you listen to audio books? I have tried but I find them too slow. I'm tempted when I'm on the bus, but I get distracted and that would mean carrying my headset.
ReplyDeleteI usually listen when I am driving or going for a run.
DeleteI greatly enjoyed Strange Planet. There is a second collection, too, in case you want more.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you are enjoying your current reads.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy reading week
I try to alternate between an audiobook and a print book. I currently have a lot of review copies that are disturbing my pattern. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteVengeance in Venice and Strange Planet both sound like good reads! I've been really struggling with a couple of books so I added in another one to make sure it wasn't just my mood. Thankfully it isn't! Have a great week!
