last night. I started reading
today but haven't read much.
I finished Cards on the Table last night and started The Tower of Nero. I am finishing Myrtle, Means, and Opportunity [this was MUCH more...gruesome??, anxiety-inducing?, heart-racing? than some "adult" mysteries I have read as of late. REALLY well-written] and then diving back into Rick Riordan [I may finish that today]. Tomorrow I will start Honey Roasted and Voices of the Dead even though I don't like two mysteries at once [maybe I can find a nice, shorter NF book to shove in between them? LOL].

(started on Sunday) and read
. I started
today and I'll be finishing
. I braved the grocery store this morning (not hosting Thanksgiving but providing mashed potatoes and needed regular groceries) and luckily it was early enough, 8:30am, that it wasn't too busy. The weather is supposed to be a crappy rainy mix tomorrow so I'm glad I won't be venturing out!
Mod
yesterday.Today I started
(final one!)
. I really need to sit down with
though.

I finished [book:The Tower of Nero|48717744] [SO FREAKING GOOD - Rick Riordan is a national treasure] and Myrtle, Means, and Opportunity [This is one of the BEST children - middle grade historical fiction series I have ever read. SUCH smart writing. I loved every one of them and this one was the BEST!] as well as a one-day read of The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating, which was suprisingly a gorgeous, thought-provoking book that I totally loved [Snails. Who knew?].
I started Napoleon's Hemorrhoids: ... and Other Small Events That Changed History, Honey Roasted [which I finished today and did not enjoy at all] and Voices of the Dead [which has been an amazing read so far] and will be finishing both Napoleon and Voices today as well.
Tomorrow [we have no Thanksgiving plans thankfully] I will read Before We Say Goodbye, and Friday I will start The Eyre Affair and Seven-Year Witch.
I’m still not in much of a reading mood, but I gotta finish
before December, so that’s my priority for the rest of the week. Thankfully it’s not very long.
Just got my computer back. I will be participating, Books TBD.Happy Holidays!
