I post reviews on Instagram and Goodreads. What have you read this week?

The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn (A book from my shelves that I listened to using my library’s Libby app.)
Clocked Out: A Josie Posey Mystery by Anna St. John (I read a galley from the author. Review to be posted on Monday as part of a blog tour.)
A Purely Private Matter (A Rosalind Thorne Mystery Book 2) by Darcie Wilde (I listened to this using my library’s Hoopla app.)
Death at the Fireside Inn: A 1920s Historical Mystery by Kitty Kildare (I read a galley from the author. Review to be posted Friday as part of a blog tour.)
What I’m Reading & Listening to Now:
Reading: Life in Five Senses: How Exploring the Senses Got Me Out of My Head and Into the World by Gretchen Rubin
Listening: Murder in Postscript (Lady of Letters Book 1) by Mary Winters
Life:
I am not sorry to see January in the rear-view mirror! That was a long month with a lot of cloudy days. This week we saw the sun a few times and it felt amazing.
The reading was great last month, and I hope the same for February. The Diamond Eye was fascinating and now I’m wanting to read more about Eleanor Roosevelt.
I also picked back up my NaNoWriMo project and have a goal and schedule to fingers-crossed complete by the end of March.
3 Good Things:
One: It was the annual family dance at my son’s school this Friday. It’s a fun night to spend together and we both appreciate how casual it is. Dress up if you want, wear your sweatpants if you’d like…all are welcome!
Two: I was able to meet some new bookish friends for breakfast yesterday and a trip to our local indie bookstore–it was fun to have in-person bookish conversation!
Three: A Crumbl Cookies store opened near our neighborhood and we tried them out for dessert last night! Maybe it’s a bad thing it’s so close, ha! They were delicious and such a fun treat.
