I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Despite having the holiday off my weekend was hectic. My bags were barely unpacked from our vacation but I had to grab a bag and passport and make a quick trip to Monterrey, Mexico for my goddaughter’s wedding.
We haven’t had a wedding in our family in such a long time so this was kind of exciting. There were some issues that popped up, I guess that’s the norm for weddings right? But, the bride was beautiful and the wedding was lovely.
So I didn’t get a lot of reading done but we made the most of our day off on Monday to go hang out at the bookstore for a little while. I noticed that SOHO Crime has their Passport to Crime Series special editions out. These are the first books in many of the publisher’s popular series. I don’t know if these have been out for a while but it was the first time I saw them on the end cap at my local B&N.
Given that I had a coupon and that these books are selling for $9.99, well I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to pick up one. I chose The Dragon Man by Garry Disher. Have you read this one? What did you think? Oh and a tip for you, if you purchase your books through Soho Crime they are actually listed for $7.99.
This week my goal is to get to the library to pick up a couple of holds (so much for my Library Ban) and maybe start putting some mini reviews together from the books I read while on vacation.
What are you up to this week?
Glad your goddaughter had a wonderful wedding!
I am glad you were able to attend the wedding, Iliana. We haven’t had a wedding in our family for ages either. Hopefully next summer when my niece is planning her wedding. Thanks for the heads up about the Soho Crime sale. Have a great rest of the week!
I laughed at your comment about always some issues cropping up around weddings! I thought back to several situations at weddings over the years and most were comical, at least in retrospect.
Haven’t read The Dragon Man–look forward to your opinion. 🙂
Trying to stay cool as it has been disgustingly humid the last few days. I think today we get a little break. I have not been to a wedding in ages! I bet the setting for your goddaughter’s was beautiful! And I saw that Soho crime deal and thought of doing it. May have to give it a go–it IS tempting!
Weddings are always so much fun to attend, especially when they are in the family too. Congratulations to your goddaughter!
Congrats to your goddaughter! And I need to check out that Soho Crimes series. Thanks for sharing, Iliana!
