This Week in Reading - August 4

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 Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey - I've read Tey's Daughter of Time a number of times but am not sure I ever read this one.  When I found it in used bookstore it had to come home with me.  (Purchased)

Miss Pym Disposes by Josephine Tey - Pretty much same as above (Purchased)

The Bat by Mary Roberts Rinehart - I was very much on a classic mystery kick at my last used bookstore visit and Rinehart is an author I really want to read more of.  (Purchased)

The Haunted Lady by Mary Roberts Rinehart - See above (Purchased)

Murder, Served Simply by Isabella Alan - I can't remember much about this cozy other than it sounded nice and the food descriptions sounded amazing.  Apparently you shouldn't grocery shop OR bookshop while starving.  (Purchased)

Death in St. Petersburg by Tasha Alexander - I've been wanting to read this author for awhile and the cover on this one was gorgeous so I couldn't pass it up.  (Purchased)

The Oysterville Sewing Circle by Susan Wiggs - I love Susan Wiggs and this one looks a little different but with the same qualities that I always enjoy from her books. 

Currently:

Reading:  The Lost Vintage by Ann Mah and Terns of Endearment by Donna Andrews

Listening:  The Secret Sister by Brenda Novak

Watching:  We haven't watched too much TV this week or movies either.

Off the Blog:

Like everyone I was so saddened to read of the passing of Grace from Rebel Mommy Book Blog.  She's been such a presence in the book blogging world for so long and it was only recently most of us were living vicariously through her visit to BEA.  There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said and said better but I will miss her dearly and I couldn't let her passing go unacknowledged. 

We're out of town this weekend trying to get in some last minute relaxing before school starts (we get out in mid-May but go back in early August and have a few decent breaks scattered about in between).  But hopefully I'll be around visiting on Monday and catching up everyone.
