My Week in Review

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is doing well. It was a quiet week here. I actually drove to work on Tuesday. It was 17°F. I walked outside and nose hairs froze. It was too cold to wait outside and hope the train was on time. I realized how much I hate driving to work. I got home only 8 minutes earlier than when I take the train, but I did save $30. 

They advertised this app in the parking deck. If you enroll, your license plate is scanned in and out and your card charged without you ever having to get out of your car or use a parking ticket. Well, I must have missed the part that talked about the service charge. It would cost me 75 cents every time I parked. That adds up, and I don't think it's worth it. That was over and done with quick. 

I am still using up my PTO and had Wednesday off. It was a great, lazy day. It warmed up when the rain came in too. I love having a midweek day to reset. 

Today is my mother's birthday. We were supposed to go out yesterday, but she was not feeling well. She is going out today with her friends, and we weren't invited. LOL! Like a teenager. They want to be with their friends not family.

Stacking the Shelves

Ooops, I did it again! So many freebies. I was thrilled to get approved for O'Leary's new release. I always enjoy her books. I got a few invites. I was surprised to see Katie Shepard genre jumping.

Read Last Week

I have been struggling getting my TBR completed, so I had lowered my books from 5 to 4. I was able to read all my planned books, so I was please. I was also thrilled that the Shalvis book was so good. I really enjoy her work, and I am loving the Colburn family. They are chaotic and wonderful and reading about them makes my face hurt from all the smiling I do.

Currently Reading

I am continuing the Maple Hills series by Hannah Grace. I like the characters and am happy to learn more about Henry. I am loving It's Different This Time. Joss Richard is new to me, but she has me hooked on these two. June and Adam are getting a second chance here, and they were reunited under interesting circumstances. The story flashes back to the years they shared this brownstone in NYC and their time there in the present. I am itching to know what happened. Why is June so angry with Adam? I am fully intrigued and invested and cannot wait to get my answers.
