Happy Sunday!
How is everyone doing today? I hope you're all well. It’s been a bit since my last Sunday Post on this blog. Why the gap? Honestly, my Sunday Posts haven’t been drawing many views, and I just needed a little break from blogging. Even so, I’ve kept up with posting reviews here and on my other blog, Gunsmoke & Grit. I’ll still write Sunday Posts occasionally whenever inspiration strikes, but don’t be surprised if I skip a week or two.
The Reading Agenda
By the time this post goes live, I should have finished The Unraveling of Julia by Lisa Scottoline, and I plan to have my review ready by Thursday. Next, I’ll read a NetGalley eBook, Knife in the Back by Karen Rose. This one releases on Tuesday, so I’ll aim to have my review up the same day. After that, I’m looking forward to finally reading Michael Connelly’s Nightshade.
There are quite a few ARCs on the way, and I’m also waiting to hear back on some others. So, expect to see more fresh content on the blog in the coming weeks.
Somehow, I've got to tackle my overflowing "want-to-read shelf" (and yes, it’s more than just one shelf). These are books I want to read but don’t intend to keep for my ever-expanding collection. I need to read and donate to make room for the other books piled around my desk. Yes, I’m running out of space. And what do I do? I keep buying more books. It’s an addiction, and while I’m aware of it, I’m not exactly working on it. Well, sort of. I’ve picked up a bunch of used books lately, mostly Westerns for Gunsmoke & Grit, but I can’t hold on to every single book. I need to make some tough choices about what to keep and what to let go. It looks like I might have to squeeze in some reading marathons.
Book Finds
After admitting my book addiction, here I am sharing my latest thrift store finds with you, which are strictly for future blogging content. I snagged The School Trip by Miranda Smith, Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica, and A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham for just ten cents each. For twenty-five cents, I found a hardcover copy of The House in the Pines by Ana Reyes—one I had recently considered buying in paperback. I’m so glad I held off; a shiny quarter beats full price any day. I also picked up a 1973 hardcover, A Treasury of Modern Mysteries, Volume 2, featuring titles like A Kiss Before Dying by Ira Levin and In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.
I made some return visits to a few antique flea markets; I came away with Home Invasion and Phoenix Rising, both by William W. Johnstone, along with Selected Works of Edgar Allan Poe and The Truth is Out There: The Official Guide to The X-Files, Volume 1 by Brian Lowry.
Lastly, I discovered Stranger Danger by Maren Stoffels at a Dollar Tree!

Luckily, all my Want to Read books are on my reading device/Kindle, otherwise I wouldn't have enough shelf space for them! Enjoy your new books.
