I hope you’ve all been enjoying the weekend. We broke a weather record today, we reached 86 degrees. Yikes. I love the beautiful sunny skies we had all weekend but I am not ready for this temperature. It makes me think of just how hot summers can get.
Anyway, we’ve had a great weekend. Spent some time with friends, my husband tried to make some Carmelitas, which were quite good but very rich, and I was able to do a bit more reading this weekend.
Thank goodness for that because my reading this January has not been the greatest. I read four books, mainly mysteries, but I wasn’t blown away by any of my reads. I didn’t make any progress in my reading challenges either. I’m hoping February will be a much better reading month.
Here are the titles I read:
Murder on St. Nicholas Avenue by Victoria Thompson
The House of the Vestals by Steven Saylor
Paid For: My Journey in Prostitution by Rachel Moran
Against A Brightening Sky by Jaime Lee Moyer
My shelves are overflowing and I have a lot of ARCs I’ve received this month and not to mention that I borrowed (and have some holds pending) from the library. So surely February will be a good reading month right? Hope you will also find lots of great reads in February!
Wasn’t it crazy yesterday? Maybe a little too warm. I suspect we aren’t through with winter though. Always surprises in February or even early March. Have a good week, Iliana!
86 degrees is warm! We just had a blizzard here and oddly enough it’s getting warm out again, high fifties for this week.
Happy reading in February. I’m going to try and get a good amount of reading in, I’m in the middle of two books now and have a third lined up. Those Carmelitas look yummy!!
86? That’s crazy! We were warm too at 40 🙂
I am with you on the reading. I had a worse January so I certainly hope February turns out better.
Wow, and 86 degrees? That is HOT! I hope it gets cooler for you.
The weather is sure getting a bit wonky everywhere; I’m thinking the global warming situation is getting worse.
Hope February will be a better reading month for us all! 🙂
I heard about your lovely warm weather! I’m insanely jealous since we are getting yet another snow storm. I got a call at 5:45 this morning, telling me not to come into work! It’s so rare that B&N closes due to weather, but I guess a blizzard warning is enough to freak out even the locals. 😉 So, I’m enjoying my lazy day at home with Annie-dog. I’m jumping between reading my book, catching up on blogs, sneaking peeks on Facebook and Instagram, and answering emails. The day is flying! Wish I had all the ingredients for those Carmelitas. They look very similar to a bar that my daughter makes (named Amy Bars), although hers have chopped macadamia nuts. I’m saving this recipe for later. Might make a fun treat for my hubby for Valentine’s Day…
We had a surprisingly warm week this past week as well. And then this morning it was 28F when I arrived at work. Looks like we are cooling down again! I hope you have a wonderful reading month in February! I did well in January, but always seem to slow down for February and March. I am hoping that won’t be the case this year, but so far I feel like my reading has already slowed down considerably.
I hope you have a great week!
