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

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
It's been a hot and humid week here. Yes, I fully realize that the rest of the country is now laughing at me because what we had wasn't as humid as it gets elsewhere. But for us, it was humid. And it was around 100 without the humidity. This week, it wasn't the dry heat we usually brag about. Quite a change from the week before when it was chilly, especially when I was out for a morning run.
Work wise, I think I've gotten through all the extra reporting fun. I have one last thing to get approval for, but that's the easy part. The hard part is behind me. Still got plenty to do, but I think I should make my deadlines.
Other than that, not much else to talk about. My life group met to clean the church this morning. And as I'm typing this, I got to finish it up so I can get ready to go to game day. So, shall we get to it?

Book Haul:
Just two books to talk about this week.
Up first is Art Attack, the third Sherlock Society book for middle graders from James Ponti. While I don't love this series as much as I do his City Spies series, I still enjoy it. The book came out on Tuesday, and my preorder arrived on Thursday.
The other book is an ARC of Essentials of Homicide, the third Aromatherapy Apothecary Mystery from Kim Davis. It actually came out this week, too, but the ARCs came out at the same time, so I snagged one of those. I'll be reading it soon to review at the very beginning of October.
What I'm Currently Reading:
And I'm reading another ARC. This one is Mrs. Claus and the Fatal Figgy Pudding by Liz Ireland. I'm about a third of the way into it, but I probably won't get a ton of reading in this weekend, so I'm hoping to finish it on Monday. I absolutely love this series, so I'm enjoying catching up with the characters.
Have a great week!
Hot and humid is the worst, and really when it comes to how bad it feels, it's what you're used to. I know people often laughed at the UK for being stunned by the heat this summer, but it really wasn't normal for us and we didn't have coping mechanisms! So I don't judge, haha.
ReplyDeleteHope you have some fun reading and a good week!

"Mrs. Claus and the Fatal Figgy Pudding" caught my attention. The cover is cute. I look forward to hearing what you think about the reading experience.

I hate humidity, I grew up with dry heat and still haven’t adjusted even though it’s been decades.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your week, happy reading!
Thanks for the robot joke. I will save it up for that moment we get back from a trip. Our weather is starting to cool down. Thankfully.

Your new books and the one you are reading all sound good. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWe are always hot and humid here, so I like it better than hot and dry. Enjoy your week, Mark!
ReplyDeleteAromatherapy Apothecary Mystery sounds like a super quirky fun series :) Hope your weather has calmed to something more comfortable. We're getting lots of rain all of a sudden. Beautiful day to stay inside with blogs and movies!
