The Sunday Post 33; It's Monday! What are you reading? 33

 


The Sunday Post - a chance for bloggers to catch-up - is hosted by Kimberly here: https://caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/ and It's Monday! What are you reading? is hosted by Kathryn, here: https://thebookdate.wordpress.com/

The week that was. 

Capitalism still has me firmly in its jaws, so I went to work because apparently bills don't pay themselves. 

We won on a tiebreaker question at quiz on Wednesday night, which is somehow the most satisfying way to win. 

I tried to watch The Continental - the limited series set in the John Wick universe - but got bored halfway through the first episode. So I switched to re-watching episodes of Brooklyn 99 and Star Trek: The Next Generation. 

My old editor passed away a couple of weeks ago, and I wasn't able to go to the funeral, so a group of us who had worked with him gathered at a pub to raise a glass and reminisce on Saturday afternoon. I also went to the library, and to my friend's place as usual to do some stitching and TV watching.

It's Sunday morning now and I'm contemplating lunch and picking a movie to watch this afternoon while I get some stitching done. 

I finished Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree which I absolutely loved. 

I'm still reading Grace and Power (albeit very slowly) and I started Hell Bent - the sequel to Ninth House. 

I also still have A Long Petal of the Sea on the go, but I'm hoping to finish that this week. Up next I have Making it So by Patrick Stewart, which I'm very much looking forward to diving into.

How about you? How's your week? What are you reading?
