Last Friday when we were at the bookstore I had a coupon I was determined to use but I had one of those moments where tons of books sounded good but which one to use my coupon on? You know how that is. Took me a while to find my book but I also added these books to my list for another time:

• A Murder at Rosamund’s Gate by Susanna Calkins. A historical mystery set in London. Oh yes, this is definitely going on my list.
• Wrecked by Charlotte Roche. According to the publisher, “There are things in this book that could even spark a new sexual revolution.” Hmm….
• This Beautiful Life by Helen Schulman. I admit the title caught my attention but the story does sound good.
• A Spear of Summer Grass by Deanna Raybourn. I’ve read several of her books in her mystery/romance series and didn’t realize she had a new book out. Love the cover of this book.
• Dante’s Wood by Lynne Raimondo. Another for the mystery list.

If you’ve read any of these and recommend one let me know. I’ve really missed making book lists for my blog. I still keep reading lists in my journals but it’s nice to collect them all here.

I have got to tell you a funny thing that happened to me the other day. So it’s late on Saturday and I’m browsing Amazon and I realize that there’s a new book in the Victoria Thompson Gaslight series and I’m like yes, I want it! I was all excited and wasn’t paying attention to the date of the release because at that point I realize my Kindle was almost out of power. Of course I couldn’t find the cord, I’m trying not to make too much noise because the house is all quiet now, and finally about a good 20 minutes later I finally realize the book isn’t even out yet!

Well, all I can say is I have pre-ordered my book and my Kindle is fully charged now. Ha.

We had a really great weekend and even though there were tons of fun events around town we tried to do some stuff around the house. I finally switched to Feedly. Thank you for the input you guys. I’m still getting used to is so please bear with me while I get all updated!

I worked on some art jouranling, which is so much fun. My craft table is a constant craft chaos so please excuse the mess. Here’s some of what I worked on:

And, we did go to the bookstore of course. I used my coupon for Midwinter Blood by Mons Kallentoft. You know how much I enjoy those Scandinavian crime novels. I also took note of some other books that sounded really good (had a hard time choosing a book and I almost left without one!) but I’ll tell you about those books in another post.

Now I’m off to enjoy a few more weekend hours before the work week starts again. What did you do this weekend?
