My Week in Review
Happy Sunday! Can you believe June is almost over??? I am grateful that it sped by because this has been a rough month. The past week was oppressively hot. Look, I live in the Northeast, we are not accustomed to temperatures "that feel" like 113°F. Nope. We were rewarded with two cool days though, and I spent as much time outside as I could.
We are getting pounded at work. Last week felt like it lasted a month. At least this upcoming week will be a short one, and with the holiday falling on Friday, I get a three-day weekend. I am glad the new person we added to our team has done so well with her training and has been really flexible. With the volumes and being short staffed, we had to be creative.
My daughter did her annual Garlic Fest dinner party this weekend. I have not seen the food pictures yet, but she did send me a sneak peek of Honkerella's outfit.

Stacking the Shelves
I feel like the summer is always slow with approvals. Though, if I am being honest, I have plenty of books to read. I saw the new Bluebird Basin book for free, so I snatched it up. I have liked this series which tends to have older main characters, though I believe these two are younger.
I also got an invite for the new Heather Webber (which I already have) and As a Last Resort.
Purchased/Free
- Wish You Were Here by Jess K. Hardy

Read Last Week
Maybe it's the weather or my mood, but I was struggling with a bunch of books this week. I pushed through Consider Yourself Kissed but had to set aside another book. Sometimes I can overlook things in book and still enjoy a story, but I was in a not-having-it mood this week, and it didn't take much to annoy me. I think I will pick the book up again, just not right now.
I am happy to say that both Kristy Woodson Harvey and Lynn Painter continue to delight me. Both books had lots of heart and made me laugh.
