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
Did anyone read anything this week, what with the BEA and the Armchair BEA? I didn't - a real bummer, since by mid-month, I read 8 books, then got into a rut and didn't read much. So I guess, my advice to self is to read at my normal pace. Ugh!
Books reviewed
None. Instead, check out my armchair BEA posts, if you haven't yet:

I am currently reading
Snow
Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See: I am halfway through, and I can't gush enough about the narrator. Really love it!
Harry
Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling: Zero progress, still somewhere halfway through!
The
Lion's Game by Nelson DeMille: I read just a few chapters of this book this week. Since it's such a huge book, it's taking me some time to get through it.
One
Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni: This is quite an enjoyable read, but I left it at some point and need to get back to it.
Summer at Tiffany by Marjorie Hart: Amazing book so far! Set in 1945, with two girls as ambitious and daring as any girl today - there is a certain feel-good sentiment about it!
Comments
Have fun with Harry - I am on book 3 in audio and loving it!
I look forward to your review of SUMMER AT TIFFANY as it is one I have on my TBR list.
I just started reading an ARC of The Blind Contessa's New Machine by Carey Wallace and it is starting out pretty good. I love being one of the first to read new books, don't you?
