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 meme was originally hosted by Marcia @ The Printed Page. It went on tour beginning August '10 and is hosted this month by Bermudaonion's Weblog. It is the gathering
place for readers to share the books
that came into their house last week (checked out library books don’t
count, eBooks & audio books do).So after a few good weeks, my mailbox has been slowing down. I'm taking it as a good thing, because I do need to put my shelf into perspective and read more. I got two books this week, both of which I am very excited about.
The other book that came in was The Caliph's House: A Year in Casablanca by Tahir Shah. I first heard of this one in Alyce's blog, At Home with Books. Then Helen @ Helen's Book Blog reviewed it. After seeing this book twice, I was all ready to add it to my wishlist, when Helen did a giveaway and I won! So, now I'm going to be reading it for the Middle East Reading Challenge.Have you read any of these books?
