My Week in Review
Happy Sunday! I hope all is well with you. Another week in the books with not much to say. I have been exhausted this week. Not sure why. Maybe the heat, maybe just being middle aged. I was so tired, I didn't even get through my TBR.
Work is still crazy busy and train service was awful all week. Thursday, we had another heavy downpour with the governor declaring a state of emergency. I was actually in the office, but when I saw the post, I asked my manager if I could go home and finish my work day from there. My friend drove me to the station about noon. It was nice because the train issues only seem to exist during rush hour. I beat the rain by about an hour, so it was all good. AND wonderful, cool weather followed the storm. It's been 60s in the morning and high 70s/low 80s during the day. Loving it!
Below is a view from the train. It's not my train line, but close to us.

Stacking the Shelves
It was a slow week, but I did grab two Read-Now books. One is a new to me author, the other is a series I have been enjoying from Sullivan. I am excited about both. I got one invite, but I am not a big mystery-thriller reader.
Netgalley/Edelweiss
- Most Eligible by Isabelle Engel
- Maybe This Once by Sophie Sullivan
Invites
- The Vanishing Place by Zoe Rankin
Read Last Week
My week started off with a bang and a five-star book. I devoured These Summer Storms. This was one of those sit back with your popcorn and enjoy the drama books. I loved it! I also enjoyed Ellie Palmer's new release. I love second chance/friends-to-more romances, and this one was a lot of fun with characters who shared a long history. I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed Zorrie. I was looking to check Indiana off, and Zorrie came with the bonus of checking "Z" off my Alphabet Challenge. This story begins back when and took me through several eras as I got to know Zorrie, her struggles, and her life. Really enjoyed it.
