It's Sunday Post time! This is hosted by the awesome Caffeinated Book Reviewer and gives us all a chance to recap our week.
What I Got:
The Masterpiece by Fiona Davis - I'm really excited about this one set in Grand Central station in 1928 and 1974. I'm really looking forward to learning more about the station itself and the history of the two women. (NetGalley)
A Howl of Wolves by Judith Flanders - I enjoyed a previous book by this author and I loved the premise of this one. It sounds like something out of Agatha Christie or Ngaio Marsh when the main character and her boyfriend (a Scotland Yard detective) go to a play they soon realize that the figure hanging from the rafters is in fact a dead body. (Publisher)
I have a few others in my inbox but I haven't sorted through everything yet.
Currently:
Reading: Murder in the Bowery by Victoria Thompson and Chicken Culprit by Vicki Walton
Listening: I just finished The Cruelest Month by Louise Penny so I'm catching up on podcasts until the next one comes in from the library.
Watching: I've finished my binge of the true crime show called Disappeared and so far nothing else has really replaced it though I am enjoying this season of The Voice so far.
Off the Blog:
This weekend I'm in south Mississippi spending time with my grandparents. I'm guessing there will be lots of movie watching and that kind of thing. I was hoping that most of the week would be spent getting caught up so I'd be ready to go out of town but things never seem to work out that way. Maybe next week!
I also did the first post in a new feature called My Classic Movie Essentials. This month's movie was Mrs. Miniver from 1942. It's one of my absolute favorites.
On the Blog:

A Howl of Wolves sounds fun! Have a great time in mississippi! Movies with grandparents sounds lovely. I enjoyed your Essential Classic Movie post, looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteBoth your new books sound really good. I love classic films! I don't know that I've seen Mrs. Miniver, so I think I'll have to rectify that. Have a fantastic week!

Looks like you have things pretty well planned out :) I am still working on getting things scheduled in advance, instead of writing everything the night before lol.

A week of movie watching with the grandparents sounds lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Masterpiece sounds good. I'm going to check that out. The one time I went to NYC I didn't go in to check out Grand Central Station but whatever movie shots I've seen of it it looks really awesome inside.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of The Masterpiece. Enjoy your time with your grandparents. I wish mine were still alive.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for your next week's top ten. Ha ha. I hope you are watching a lot of great movies with your grandparents. Have a wonderful week. :)
ReplyDeleteI’ve seen Disappeared a few times. For some reason, I watch a lot of true crime shows. They always seem to be on. Enjoy your time with your grandparents! Have a great week.

I didn't know Fiona Davis has a new book coming out. My daughter loved her first two, so I just sent her the link. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by Fiona Davis yet, but I really want to. Her books sound so fascinating!
ReplyDeleteI am quite tempted by the upcoming Fiona Davis novel. I may have to try to get a copy at some point. Enjoy your visit with your grandparents and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThe Masterpiece looks real interesting! Hope yall are having a great visit. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Masterpiece! That sounds so good! I hope you enjoyed your visit with your grandparents. I was hoping last weekend would be my catching up weekend, but it turned out to not to be the case. Maybe this weekend? I hope you have a great weekend, Katherine!
