This Week in Reading - February 1st

 


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:


Death at a Firefly Tea by Laura Childs - I have mixed feelings about this series but I love the setting and all the food mentions so I can never resist it.  I'm hoping I love this one.  (Publisher)

Booking For Trouble by Jenn McKinlay - This is a favorite cozy mystery series and I'm looking forward to this one.  (Publisher)

Currently:


Reading
:
  The Whisking Hour by Ellie Alexander and Stars of Fortune by Nora Roberts

Slow Read:  And Then They Were Doomed by Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli - so far this one is just okay but the story does seem to be gaining some traction so I hope it starts improving.

Listening:  The Spitfire Murders by Anna Elliott and Charles Veley

Watching:  I finished season 8 of 911 and have moved over to 911 Lonestar.  I don't like it as much but I am enjoying it overall.

The first month of 2026 is finished and for the most part was a good one.  I made a list of all the places locally that I want to visit or things I want to learn this year.  I cleaned out all the overstuffed drawers.  I made my list of books I want to read.   I'm hoping for a more intentional and focused 2026.  As well we celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary and Will had a successful yearly checkup at St. Jude.  So all in all it was a pretty busy month!  

Have a great week and happy reading!

  1. Some books drag on and midway when you think you want to give up, it turns interesting

  2. I resisted getting the new Laura Childs book, and now I regret it. Hope it's a good one.

  3. I stopped reading the Laura Childs books although I did enjoy the food mentions and tea. I'm glad you had some good things this month with your anniversary and Will's checkup! I can appreciate how you are making more choices thoughtfully.

  4. I hope the Laura Childs book is good this time. Nice to have the Jenn McK one. Sounds like January was a good month. It looks like some good organising was achieved. Wonderful to celebrate 23 years of marriage. Congrats to you.

  5. Definitely a busy month, but with a good yearly checkup at St. Jude's and your anniversary there's plenty to celebrate, too. Happy February!

  6. Like how you've gotten your lists for 2026 made. Being more focused and intentional about life is something I'm trying to work on, too....though I haven't even started making my lists. ;D Have a good week!
