Good Afternoon, Everyone!
What Am I Reading?
I haven't been in a big mood to read, though I did finish The Woman Beyond the Attic: The V.C. Andrews Story and read 39 pages of To Disguise the Truth by Jen Turano. That's all I got done. My reading plan for the week is to read To Disguise the Truth and Victoria Winters by Marilyn Ross (William Ross).

What's in the Mail?
When I was book purging at the tail end of December, I noticed a few books had water damage from last year's 'basement flood.' The only book I cared about was Buffy the Vampire Slayer 3 (Carnival of Souls, One Thing or Your Mother, Blooded), which received the most damage. I bought another copy off of eBay, which arrived in the mail the day before my grandmother's death. I didn't get around to opening the package until this morning.
What's New On The Bookshelf?
I lost count of how many errands I had to make during the week. It seems like I had to pick up something for someone every day. On one of my trips to Dollar Tree, I noticed they finally got new books in stock. I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to look through all the titles, but I did pick up The Twice-Haunted Man by Pricilla Royal and The Den by Abi Maxwell.
When it comes to Walmart, it's like a flip of a coin if they decide to stock their books section or not. I saw nothing new there, except for a reprint of The Enemy by Jack Reacher, the eighth Jack Reacher novel.
Two days later, I went back to Dollar Tree with the purpose to go through the new books, if they were still in stock. I picked up Delayed Rays of a Star by Amanda Lee Koe and Ghost Clause by Howard Norman.
I should peruse the magazine/ book section at Walmart, I always seem to breeze right by it.
ReplyDeleteVictoria looks so delightfully Gothic.
It is hard when a grandparent passes- hope you are well.
I'm sorry about your grandma.
ReplyDeleteWe started watching Reacher last night. I had to remind myself to suspend my disbelief when 6 people were killed in about 4 days and the GBI wasn't in that small town like ASAP. And that the killings hadn't gone viral causing the governor to have press conference.
Spoiler Alert - A F.B.I. character appears later in the series.
DeleteIn the novels, Jack Reacher is more like an '80s action star, so, yeah, you have to suspend your disbelief with some things that happen.
I'm so sorry about what happened to your grandma. I hope you are doing okay.
