CPL's Book a Week Challenge discussion

Has everyone been enjoying this lovely weather? I've managed to get outside and read which has been delightful.

Except last week, I got caught in the thunderstorm. Thankfully I was under shelter but it rained so hard so fast my little picnic bench became an island in a lake, lol. And have no worries- no books were harmed in the rain (I brought my rain jacket and a bag because I knew storms were possible so I tucked the books in those).

Do you have any outside adventure stories?

What is everyone reading this week? I'm still working on The Shaping of Middle-Earth and my coworker loaned me Mine Till Midnight to read. I also read the most adorable manga called With a Dog and a Cat, Every Day is Fun. It's about the mangaka's life with her two pets. Every bit as cute as you think; she even includes pictures of her pets. Even if you're not a manga person, but like cats and dogs, you'd still probably enjoy this.

I don't have any outside places to read close by, and those that I might go to would involve bringing too many things to make it comfy while I read that it is easier to just read at home.

I finished The Year of Less (very interesting- some of what she suggests I'm already doing- others I might try later on).

I was trying to check out one of the recommended books on gaslighting, and found The Gaslighting of the Millenial Generation. Interesting book, I definitely relate more to Millenials than to Baby Boomers (ironic, considering all 3 of my siblings are Boomers). A lot of what she said gave me hope for the future.

I also finished a cozy mystery (Shucked Apart) and a graphic novel (The Tea Dragon Society). I am currently reading Persuasion and reading The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

Next up is (maybe) Murder at the Vicarage, The Big Four, Enjoy the View by Sarah Morganthaler (last book in trilogy?), or one of the books I've been waiting for. Not sure.
