I had a great weekend as I got to spend the day with my best friend who was visiting. We had some coffee while we chatted about life updates, spent a bit of time at BookPeople and Anthropolgie and enjoyed dinner with her and her husband at delicious Mexican Food restaurant.
Unfortunately Sunday I had plans to do a bit of organizing and working in the studio but we started working on our taxes and well, there goes the day.
Anyway, in book news I did pick up the new Anne Cleeland book, Murder in Retribution. I read the first in the series last summer and it was one of those books that I wasn’t sure if I really liked but at the same time I raced through it and was curious about the next book. So I’ll let you know how this one turns out.
Also, at BookPeople I finally saw that they had the latest BookPage. I love picking up an actual copy versus reading it online.
Another to do this weekend was to return quite a few books to the library without even reading them. Don’t you hate it when that happens? I still have some library books out (and a bunch of ARCs that have come in the last few days) so I think it’s time to go on a library ban.
My stacks are overflowing and I will really try to limit myself to no new check-outs for the next couple of months. Let’s see how long I last. Hope your week is off to a great start!
Glad you had a good weekend, Iliana. Hope you didn’t float away yesterday with all the rain. Wow. And please, could we have some sun this week? LOL
Enjoy your new books and good luck with your library ban. 😉
I’m glad to hear you’d a great time with your best friend. Looking forward to your thoughts on Murder in Retribution. 🙂
Funny about those Anne Cleeland books. I wrote a vague review of the first one a few years ago because certain elements made me uncomfortable, but I read the book avidly. Recently NetGalley offered Murder in Hindsight, and I downloaded it, but decided to purchase and read Murder in Retribution first. Still debating about how to review them.
I hate returning books to the library unread especially if I had been waiting my turn for them for awhile. But it happens now and then and I generally put myself back on the list and hope next time my turn comes up I’ll be able to read it!
I hope Murder in Retribution is good!
Your weekend with your friend sounds wonderful. It’s too bad Sunday wasn’t more productive–but you got your taxes done, right? That’s something.
I hope you have a great rest of the week!
