Hammers and Homicide (A Hometown Hardware Mystery) by Paula Charles (I read a copy for an upcoming blog tour–to be posted Monday.)
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman (I listened to a copy using my library’s Libby app and immediately put the print copy on hold so I could take notes.)

Life:
Different kids were home sick on different days this week and I am so thankful I can be home with them when they need to be home. Everyone is well now (I just knocked on wood). I was able to spend a day with my mom this week, taking her to an appointment and helping with a task. We always snag lunch and it was an enjoyable day. While the week felt busy, nothing out of the ordinary was on the calendar. Regular tasks and events.
3 Good Things:
One: Thank you so much to Deb Nance at Readerbuzz for the recommendation to read Things to Look Forward to: 52 Large and Small Joys for Today and Every Day by Sophie Blackall. This was absolutely delightful and one I’ve been thinking about all week. It’s a cozy magical little book about everyday joy.
Two: I don’t normally watch award shows but my daughter has gotten into them, so we watched the Grammys last weekend (although I didn’t stay up to finish). It was fun to watch together and I love Trevor Noah so much. If you watched then I suggest giving his February 7th podcast Trevor and Friends: BTS at The Grammys (What Now? with Trevor Noah) a listen. It was fascinating to learn the behind the scenes info, and he is just so thoughtfully funny. I laughed out loud several times.
Three: We got out and about today and headed to an indie bookstore (Main Street Books in St Charles, MO). It was a little chilly for a walk, but I did come away with two books that I’m looking forward to reading–especially since I’m in my historical fiction era!
