This Week in Reading - October 28

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:

Let the Dead Keep Their Secrets by Rosemary Simpson - I've been on a historical mystery kick lately and this one sounded so intriguing that I couldn't pass it up.  Plus, I love the cover.  (Publisher)

Botched 4 Murder by J.C. Eaton - This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series and one of the few I'm actually caught up on so I'm really excited to see what happens next.  (Publisher)




Currently:

Reading:  Six Cats a Slayin' by Miranda James and The Endless Beach by Jenny Colgan.  I actually started this one awhile ago but I ended up having to put it down for awhile so I'm excited to finally be getting back to it.

Listening:  I'm waiting for a few library holds so until then I'm listening to Ring for Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse.

Watching:  I just watched the first few episodes from this season of MacGyver.  It's not the best quality show but it keeps me entertained.  

Off the Blog:

This weekend I'm heading to Mississippi for a visit to my grandparents and a few other things.  Next week I've got all kinds of Halloween madness plus school book fair fun. The school does a good job of doing parent and grandparent lunches on the week of book fair which is great for raising money but is sheer craziness for a little while.  The Tornado is super excited for Halloween.  He's being some kind of Halo soldier.  He's never played the game but he loved the costume and talked me into it.  

I don't have much else to say so I'm just going to throw some Disney pictures at you because I'm feeling like doing a bit of re-living!

    Ooh great pics! I always loved the Contemporary as a kid- maybe it was the monorail gliding through there that did it. :)

    Have a great trip!

    Let the Dead Keep Their Secrets looks interesting.

    I've been watching the new MacGyver too.

    You look like you had a fabulous time at Disney. I've never been! One of these days, maybe.

    Hope you have a wonderful reading week.

    Thank you for sharing your fabulous Disney pics Katherine - isn't the Tornado a sweetheart? That fundraiser sounds like a great event, but I can imagine just how much work it takes. I hope the coming week is a good one for you.

    Lovely memories in the photos for you all. I am listening now to the #3 book in the series of Jenny Colgan - if you get an opportunity listen to the next one on audio, its excellent in that version.

    I love how Tornado got to meet many characters. I love that his school does a parent and grandparents lunch. How fun it sounds.

    I really enjoy your Disney photos! I love you call him the Tornado. Another trip - I hope it goes well and you have a great time. Also, that you get to do some reading! Audiobooks are great in the car but not if you have to entertain others. Anne - Books of My Heart

    Have fun in Mississippi! We don't celebrate Halloween here, but I did make a very cute pic from our baby girl in her little Halloween costume. I wish Halloween was more of an item here.
    Have a great week and happy reading!

    So thrilled that you enjoyed Disney, and loved that you showed pics on Instagram and here. I tried Macgyver twice, and just couldn't get into it at all. I remember book fairs from when I was a kid and didn't know they still did them. The Halo Soldier sounds pretty cool! Hugs...RO
