There's been a lot going on over here this past week, both at work and at home. I'm looking forward to when I can read a lot in a sitting. Life I've been pretty distressed by all the gun violence news this week. Not that it has ever not been so distressing, but coming out of the pandemic and pretty much hearing about some shooting or the other almost every day, has just shown that nothing has changed in this world. Adam Toledo and Indianapolis this week. And apparently, there is still no way this can be controlled. Ugh, so frustrated. When I wasn't worrying about the news (or trying not to), I've been busy picking paint colors. The husband and I have been talking about painting our house, or just the upstairs, or just the downstairs, or the basement, or.. for the better part of the past four years. We finally decided to go ahead with it - that is, paint the entire house. It's a massive undertaking, especially considering the painter is going to be here tomorrow

I am currently reading
The
Geometry of Sisters by Luanne Rice: I'm already halfway through this book. It's not great by any account, but it's holding my interest for now. There are many things that are bugging me, but so long as it keeps me running on the treadmill, I'm glad. :) My reading plans for the next week
Harry
Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by
J.K. Rowling: Re-reading this series has been a fantastic experience so far! I can't wait to continue with the adventures. Not sure what else I will be reading, I'll probably just pick what suits my interest.

I have to check out what that Revisiting Hogworths is about. Haven't heard of that one!
Liar is (still) on my TBR. I think this summer I'll have to do a whole lotta' reading once school is out!
Do you know that I never read a Harry Potter book? OMG, I can't believe I just said that out loud. lol
Have a great week, Aths :) Lynne's Book Reviews
I will have to read your review of Liar. Some people seem to love it and others seem to hate it. I don't know if it's one I'd like.
I hope you enjoy whatever you read this week.
Have a happy week.
I really like and respect Justine Larabalstier as a person and she can write. Does it get any better than that? :-)
