This Week I ...

 


I'm reading...



This week I finished reading Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells. These Murderbot books are really good and I will definitely be reading the next book in the next few weeks.



I decided to go back to a series that I started reading earlier this year and so I started reading The Life She Imagines by Maggie Christensen. This is the fifth book in the Granite Spring series which all feature older couples romance. I find them to be very enjoyable reads. I mean, I found love in my late 40s so it is nice to read others doing the same right.



I did manage to get to the library for the first time in months this weekend. I was only going to have a quick life at the shelves near the door, but it so happened that there were two books on the new releases shelf so I quickly nabbed them.





I'm watching....


My husband isn't terribly fussed about sports, so I think this will be the least amount of Olympics I have ever watched in my life. i did catch some of the swimming and bits and pieces of other events. He does  love sailing so we did watch a little of that.



On Saturday night we watched several episodes of the second series of Stan Lee's Lucky Man. I imagine that we will keep on watching that over the coming week.



Life



We are back out of lockdown again but with lots of restrictions still in place. There are lots of other parts of the country that are still in lockdown so not much celebrating happening here. We left the house both days, which means wearing my leaving the house perfume both days! We did manage to see the kids and have a nice lunch!

    1. I used to be a library addict Michelle, but these days I tend to be reading ebooks rather than physical books.

    1. BFR, Over the last two weeks we were in lockdown, then we were out, we had a 0 cases day on Wednesday and then we were back in lockdown again on Thursday. It's crazy!

  4. I am looking forward to actually going to the library soon! Browsing is such fun, and I always enjoy that new release shelf.

    Sorry about the lockdowns. I lived through all of 2020 in lockdown because of where I lived (senior residential facility), but now I live in my own apartment, so if there is a lockdown again, it won't feel as constrictive, IMO.

    Enjoy your week, and here are my WEEKLY UPDATES

  5. I prefer romance with mature characters these days.

    My apologies to you and Victoria for the stupidity of the NSW government. I hope you are able to stop Delta in its tracks

    Wishing you a great reading week

  8. Ooh I need to get back to the Murderbot series! Those are so amazing. I did watch some more sailing and it's interesting seeing the different rules/ boats.

  9. Everyone seems to be recommending the Murderbot series lately. I keep intending to start it and then I get distracted by something else. Soon!

    I'm not into sports but I do like the Olympics. The time difference is really throwing us off this year though. We've managed to watch some gymnastics and swimming. Lots and lots of swimming. I do like it but I'm ready for different competitions now.

    Enjoy your week!
