Happy Sunday & Happy Easter to those who celebrate! Thanks to Deb Nance at Readerbuzz for hosting The Sunday Salon.  

 Favorite Read of the Week

Finlay Donovan Crosses the Line (Finlay Donovan #6) by Elle Cosimano (It is so much fun to be back with Finlay and the book ends in a way that we know there will be a next book – yes!!!)

What I’m Reading & Listening to Now:

Reading: The Spellshop (Spellshop #1) by Sarah Beth Durst

Listening: Without a Clue by Melissa Ferguson

Week in Review: 

This week was rough – if it could go wrong, it did. By Tuesday it was so bad we treated ourselves to delicious ice cream. By Thursday I had thrown in the towel, heated up chicken nuggets and green beans and sat on the couch with my book. Blah. BUT Friday was school librarian appreciation day and as a part-time assistant, I didn’t think much of it. Well, those kids and teachers showered us both with so much love. It was unexpected and so heartwarming. Here are just a few of the things we got. One of my favorites is “you are good at reading.” So sweet. 

Sunday afternoon we will celebrate the holiday with a casual Easter lunch. We bought two new games (Magnetic Chess and Moose Master) that we hope to try Sunday afternoon. 

Something I’m Looking Forward To:

A low-key day off on Monday. We also have plans to see theater this week (senior one act plays) at my daughter’s school, and then another of her friends is in a play nearby. I’m trying to read print books I own this month so my stack looks enticing.
