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:

Book Haul:
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:
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!
I got a review done whilst queuing for Lego yesterday. It was a Star Wars Lego make and take so we took the kids. It was a tough one so we all got a bit frazzled doing it 🤣
ReplyDeleteThe books look good. Love a bit of double points!
Have a great weekend!

I am glad you got to use the last day of the pass you bought. And you even used the time you waited in lines to read! I've never been to Disneyland but it sounds delightful.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that you managed to get work done while having fun at Disneyland! You must be feeling very virtuous and smug:). Best of luck with reading Hollywood Kills - what a good cause, but I also don't have a great track record with getting through short story anthologies.
ReplyDeleteI need to be sitting in silence at my desktop computer to write my reviews. Maybe that's why I'm always so behind. Have a great week. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you had a chance to go to Disney and use your last day. Sounds like a fun time. Hope you enjoy your books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteImpressive to be writing reviews at Disneyland!
ReplyDeleteYou are probably the first person to ever write a book review while standing in line at Disneyland. Super funny!

Disneyland sounds like a lot of fun. I was there once years and years ago. Your books sound good too. I really like the Allison Montclair series. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of your personal Disney day... that sounds LOVELY! and so productive!
