May 3rd's Sunday/Monday Post

Welcome to this week's Sunday/Monday Post, where I will be linking up to:

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

This week started off magically.  That's right, I was back at Disneyland.  I had one day left to use on the 3 Day ticket I bought when my friends were here a couple of months ago.  I went by myself this time and had fun.  Was pretty productive, too.  I got half of a book read and two reviews written on my phone while I was standing in lines.  I almost got everything in I wanted to do, but just ran out of time.  Considering I was in both parks, I was happy with that.

Other than that, this week has been pretty quiet and ordinary.  Pretty much just work.  I have done just about nothing so far today (Saturday).  It's been nice for a change.

Weather was in the low 60's last Sunday.  It warmed up to the 80's Saturday.  But it will be back to the 60's on Sunday.  I'm ready for it to pick a temperature and stick with it for a while.

Joke of the Week:


Someone ripped the 5th month out of my new calendar.
I’m dismayed

Book Haul:

Last weekend, Barnes and Nobel offered double stamps, so of course, I had to order three more books.

Up first is An Excellent Things in a Woman by Allison Montclair.  It's book seven in the Sparks and Bainbridge series.  I have all of them but this one, including book eight.  So, naturally, I filled in the gap.  I'm a few books behind but planning to read another in the series soon.

I also got Vanished!, the second in James Ponti's Framed! series.  I generally enjoy his books, and I enjoyed the first in this series when I read it last year.

Finally, I got a short story anthology.  Hollywood Kills was created and published last year to raise funds to help the victims of the LA wild fires from last year.  Definitely a cause I want to support.  And it has some authors in it I enjoy.  My track record with actually reading short story collections is dismal, but we'll see if I get to this one.

What I'm Currently Reading:

Friday, I finished Murder on the Marlow Belle, the fourth Marlow Murder Club book by Robert Thorogood.  I found the ending a little disappointing, but overall, I enjoyed it.  But more on that at a later date, after I get my review written.

Which means today, I should have been working on Reckoning at the Riviera Royale by P.J. Fitzsimmons.  But remember how I was talking about having a lazy day?  That includes not even getting any reading done.  But I'm sure I will make up for that tomorrow and be fully invested in the book come Monday.

That's it for me.  Have a great week!
