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.

So I didn't post any reviews over the last week, what with BBAW and all. Instead, here's what happened over here this past week

My interview of Roberta @ Wrapped in Foil I spoke of a book that I read almost right-away on blogger recommendation - Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster I'm doing a readathon this week and oh yeah, I got my Droid X In which I rant about the small-mindedness of people who totally miss the point of books like Speak
Books on my nightstand
This week, I'm hoping to get through a big stack of books. I took care of a lot of distracting items over the weekend, so I hope to feel less pressured over the week. I'm doing the Fall Catch-up readathon, so fingers crossed! Here's what my week looks like.
The Passage by Justin Cronin:
I didn't really have time to pick this up last week, but hey today starts a new week! I don't want to get bogged in a chunkster, so I'll take this one slow even if it takes me a month to finish it.
Stealing Lumby by Gail Fraser:
I have just a few mores pages to go, but isn't this book delightful! I am not enjoying it so much as the first Lumby book, Lumby Lines. But Lumby is still as quirky as I remember it!
Moloka'i by Alan Brennert:
I'm reading this one with a few buddies from one of my Goodreads groups. I've heard so much of this one and Brennert's other book, Honolulu. I'm especially in love with this cover!
