It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
Our temps went down a little this week, but it was still in the upper 80's most of the week, which is unusually high. Not that I'm complaining. I much prefer warmer weather to colder weather.
Saturday was quite the day. I spent the day down in Orange County. I headed down there for the Muddy Dash. Yep, another mud run. It was held on a spot where I've done many mud runs over the years, and it was great to be back on the property. I got good and muddy, too. Cleanup wasn't quite as great as I would have liked, but I managed to get cleaned up.
Which was good since I then went to visit some family friends who live in the area. It meant I got home in the evening, but it was so worth it to catch up with them. But I will sleep well tonight. (Yes, I'm typing this up having just gotten home.)
Joke of the Week:

Book Haul:
I've got five books on my haul this week.
Up first is My Nightmare is Yours, the thirteenth Madison Night Mystery from Diane Vallere. The book is out at the end of May, but I have an ARC, so I'll be reading it in a couple of months. I'm very much a fan of this author, so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in this mystery.
Next up is Welcome to Cozy Town, a novella (or maybe a short story) from Marla Cooper. It is designed to be a spoof of cozy mysteries. I loved Marla's two cozy mysteries, and I'm thrilled to see she is writing again. And this just looks like something I am going to really enjoy. Hopefully, I get a chance to read it soon.
I also snagged Call In for Murder by Tammy Barker. This is her first novel, and it introduces us to a radio call in host in Las Vegas.
Someone I respect recommended Seven for a Secret Never to be Told by Derek Wheeless back when it came out last fall. It sounds like something I will probably enjoy, so I finally got it.
Finally, I got Murder at the Karaoke Bar. I know of three series that call themselves the Bucket List Mysteries, but this is the series by father/daughter duo who write as Elizabeth Perona. It's the fifth and final book in the series. While I wasn't a fan of book four, I am curious how they are going to wrap things up.
What I'm Currently Reading:
I feel kind of ashamed to get to this part of the post since this is a rare day when I read absolutely nothing. (If you need to be reminded why, go back and look at all the fun I had today. So, I'm not too ashamed). Well, that isn't completely true. I finished up Fair Warning by Michael Connelly, the audio book I was talking about last week.
But the book I didn't get to today is Sovereign Sieged, the eighth Court of Mystery novel from Sarah E. Burr. I am about a third of the way into the book, and I'm enjoying it, although I'm ready for the main plot to kick in.
Maybe I should go see if I can get a chapter in before I fall asleep.
Have a great week everyone!
I have read very little in March. But I have been doing so much traveling.
ReplyDeleteA mud run sounds...hmmm...intriguing?
Welcome to Cozy Town sounds like fun! I'm very tempted by that now. Hope you enjoy it, and your other new books!
ReplyDeleteMud runs sound like fun but I don't like being mucky, ahaha. Glad you had a good time!
I think I'll stick to Escape Rooms. :) Sounds like an awesome day for you, though. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSometimes we all need to do something other than read/listen to books or so I am told...lol I am loving your book haul!
ReplyDeleteLol... mud run?? I'll bet the clean up afterwards is interesting! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThose mud runs must be fun. Do you do them we a specific group of people or just meetup with the same folks who go to a lot of them, like you?
