I'm ready to read

My big plan for this week was to post about a couple of new books I had but I was sidelined by Covid. My husband got it first which of course meant I got it two days later. It's been a rough week, especially when food supplies dwindled.

We can't get delivery of anything here but when I was alert enough to make the 25 mile round-trip to the grocery store, I did manage to get groceries via an Instacart order.

Update since I posted this yesterday - If interested Peter Heller's book The Orchard is on'y $1 via Amazon for Kinlde.  Quite a deal HERE.

Tomorrow I am planning on starting September by Rosamunde Pilcher. Then I will see about a books-of-summer roundup and decide what books I fancy in autumn.


That's about it...here's a photo of Loki chilling out with me on the sofa.  He's a good boy,  knows how to relax and is never without his tiger. 🐅



I will be visiting and catching up on blogs over the next few days.  You all weren't forgotten :-) Wishing you good health and good reading.
