This week, I've hopped from book to book - sampling a few pages here and there and then abandoning them all because it was too slow or too boring or too dry or too character-oriented or too-plot-oriented or... You get the drift. Life We had another one of those sick-kids-and-Covid-tests week. My daughter came home from school one day with a runny nose that quickly became chills and tiredness. She had no issues with smell or taste, nevertheless we took her for a test as neither she nor my son would be able to get back to school without a negative test. Thankfully, the test results came negative. This time around, we were all ready for what needed to be done, unlike the first time a month ago. Other than that, my week has been very quiet. My parents and my father-in-law got their first shots of the Covid vaccine in India, so we are finally trying to confirm my parents' travel plans to the US - a year later than originally planned. It's quite exciting to realize we will soon
Good morning, Sunday Saloners! I woke up just about an hour and a half ago, got some muffins into the oven, made my cup of tea and am sitting at my desk, browsing, reading and doing everything a lazy Sunday morning is supposed to be about. I have some office work I need to finish today, but hopefully, it doesn't transform into a day-long affair.

I did finish both the books I had planned to read - MetaMaus and Quarantine, and loved both of them. I also got a quarter-way through a third book - Monsters of Men, which started a little slow, but is now in the thick of action, so it's quite entertaining.
Here are some readathon stats:
Hours spent with a book: ~12
Books finished: 2
Books in progress: 1 (quarter of the way in)
Pages read: 614
Hours spent on distractions: ~4
Today, I need to catch up on everything I put aside yesterday, so I may not get to do much reading until late in the evening. There's that office work, then some grocery shopping, then clear through the week's mails, read blogs, clear emails, cook. Boy, sounds pretty busy when I put it all down like that.
How's your day shaping up?
