It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
It's been a fairly quiet week. Heck, my car hasn't been out of the garage most of the week. The advantage of working from home, especially with gas prices what they are. I ran some errands one day, and I went paddle boarding Friday night. That's about it.
It's also been hot! We've been in the upper 90's most of the week, reaching triple digits this weekend. That's summer weather, I don't care what you have to say about it. (Yes, I know lots of people who complain about summer weather, but I love it!)
Saturday morning, I was able to go to a book launch party for Ellen Byron. Really, a double launch party since she has books coming out just a week apart. (Two different series with two different publishers.) Then, I went to the game group I've been to a few other times about half an hour from me. It was a good day, but a day that involved lots of driving in the hot weather. Fortunately, that's why we have AC, right?

Book Haul:
I said last week I'd have one book to talk about for sure this week. And, I have...one book to talk about this week. I managed to avoid any impulse purchases, so the only book is the preorder that came out on Tuesday.
And that book? City of Promises by Victoria Thompson with Ellen Thompson. I am extremely excited about this book. I've been a fan of both of Victoria's series for years, and this book is a crossover between the two. She had just started it when she passed away a couple of years ago, and her daughter, Ellen, has picked up the reigns and is going to continue both series. She's started out by completing this crossover. I will be reading it soon.
What I'm Currently Reading:
But not quite yet.
Over the weekend, I finished A Murderer's Guide to Mardi Gras, the newest Vintage Cookbook Mystery from Ellen Byron. Yes, this is one of the two books she's launching right now. I enjoyed it as always. My review will be up on the 11th.
Which means I'll be starting this week with Two Truths and a Murder, the fifth Phyllida Bright Mystery from Colleen Cambridge. This will get me current with the series...until book six comes out at the end of October.
That's it for me. Have a great week!
