It got busy this week! Lots going on at home, work, and otherwise as well. Life My daughter's school decided to close on Friday, along with several other schools in the area, with some being closed from Thursday. Not enough staff. The school had been on a mask mandate since the beginning of the pandemic, dropping it only for one week when the pandemic had appeared to have stabilized last year. And yet, they dropped the mandate completely at the beginning of this year, when cases were exponentially rising, only to bring it back again starting next week. I've gone from being very annoyed to angry to feeling fatigue in these first two weeks already. I won't lie - we all mask around here and try to avoid going where we don't have a need to be in, and still, we are not taking anything close to the extreme precaution we all took at the beginning of the pandemic. I cannot and don't want to keep my kids home - I have at least that much faith in the schools' precautions
This is a weekly event initially hosted by J. Kaye at J. Kaye's Book Blog, now by Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books, to celebrate what you are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.
Books completed last week
- The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien - Re-read for the LOTR Read-along
Books reviewed from the week before
- The 13th Hour by Richard Doetsch
- Open Season by Linda Howard
I am currently reading
Liar by Justine Larbalestier:
I have to say this book is pretty interesting, though the narrator's shrilly dialogues are irritating my ears. I'm only on disk 2, with 7 more left, and I listen an hour a day (when I hit the gym) so hopefully, I will complete this one within 7 gym days.
White Oleander by Janet Fitch:
I couldn't get into this the first time, so I took a short break and returned back to it. I hope I'll complete this one this week itself.
Last Night in Montreal by Emily St. John Mandel:
I'm reading this one for the Spotlight Series, and am interested in this book for its theme as well - depression, obsession and compulsiveness. My review will come up only on March 23rd, but with a paper due on March 22nd, I don't want to wait till then to read it.
The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs:
My slow last week didn't get me to this book as soon as I expected, but hopefully, this weekend will be spent on this one.
