It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
Not too much going on around here this week. I worked obviously, but I stayed around home other than that. I was impacted by the Microsoft outage on Thursday, but mainly email. I was still able to work. I misread a message on Friday, so I spent the day stressed about something I had to get done by the end of the day...only to realize once I finished it that I didn't have that deadline after all. Completely on me. Oh well, it's something I was going to have to do this coming week anyway, so it's not that big a deal overall.
Christmas decorating is going well. I still have more to do, but I made progress this week. Which is good because Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away! I feel like it is sneaking up on me. Not sure how I am going to get everything done I want before the holiday.
Today is game day, so shall we get to it?

Book Haul:
This week's book haul starts with an audiobook from the library. Numb Were the Beadsman's Fingers by Alan Bradley is the last in the Flavia de Luce series. I've love the audios of this series much more than I've enjoyed the series itself. The narrator is that awesome. This book came out at the beginning of the month, and I was fortunate to get my hold already. I listened to it this week. It was okay. As I say, it's never been a favorite series, but I'm glad to have finished it.
Next up are two pre-orders. The first of those is Words and Music by Jason Gray. Jason is one of my favorite musicians, and this is a devotional based on each of his songs. It's a 400+ page hard cover, so this one will take me quite a while to go through, but I'm looking forward to some of the stories behind the songs that I haven't already heard and thinking about all of them more.
What I'm Currently Reading:
Speaking of reading, I'm currently nearing the end of The First Ladies' Guide to Murder by Amanda Flower. I'm mostly enjoying it, although it does seem a bit slow to me. But I'm loving getting to read about Washington DC in the 1890's. I was hoping to finish it up Saturday morning, but it isn't looking good. Not sure if I will get it finished Sunday either. Fingers crossed
Hopefully by Monday, I will be on my next book. I'll be sticking with that time period but jumping across the pond to England with Lady Darling Vexes a Villain, the second in a series from Colleen Gleason, aka Colleen Cambridge. Yep, I've been reading a lot of her books this year, but I will be caught up on her current series when I finish this one. I wasn't a big fan of the first one, but hopefully this one will be stronger.
Have a good week!
