Monday Musings...

Good morning. It's raining, which means all I want to do is stay inside reading a book. And eating a brownie or two. If only, right? 

Well, we are in May and I am hating it. T. S. Eliot was wrong, May is the cruellest month, not April. My dad passed away suddenly last May and I am just thinking about how awful May was last year. And, my dislike for May from last year seems to be carrying on into this year and most likely every year. Ugh. 

We have a realtor coming by to give us a price on our house later this week. Not sure how that's going to go, since we are planning on selling as is. Wish us luck!

I read 7 books last month. I'm finally accepting that I'm not the same reader I used to be. Meaning no more reading 5 books a week. Oh well. I'm still reading and that's all that matters. Right now I'm in the middle of: 

I love Hallett's books, they are always a treat to read. And, this one is her second one featuring the Fairway Players and I am LOVING it! It's so much fun trying to figure out the mystery's whodunit. So far, I do have a suspect, but not sure it's going to play out the way I think. Doesn't matter though, Hallett always manages to keep me on the edge of my seat as we get closer to the reveal and that is the best feeling when reading a murder mystery. 

I'm also still in the middle of rereading the Maisie Dobbs series. Currently I'm on my book 5, An Incomplete Revenge. I'm really enjoying falling back in with Maisie, Billy, Pris, and Maurice. 

Oh, and I'm still watching Tracker - love that show! Although, I'm not too thrilled that Colter's storyline about his dad is dragging out this long. The only positive was that he finally called Russell to help him - finally! Oh, and I'm still not sure we can trust Mel - what is her deal? And, Reenie - what is going on there? By the way, I'm also hooked on a show called The Hunting Party - have you seen it? 

As for creative ventures, I'm on day 4 of the Messy May challenge. Today's prompt is Opposites. Not sure what I'll come up with for that one, but I know I'm going to have fun figuring out and that's the plan - to have fun.  I'm on day 72 of the 100 Day Project and it is still such a fun one - so glad I'm participating this year. 

And, now I'm off to run some errands. Wishing you all a lovely week. Happy reading!

May isn't my favorite month at the moment either...it will be the first Mother's Day without my mom and I'm not looking forward to it. I hope Colter's brother shows up soon on Tracker. And can I just say, I'm not enjoying Reenie's expanded role or storyline at all. I wish they weren't focusing on her so much. And the number of books you read each month does not matter as much as how good the books are that you do read. Happy reading this month! And fingers crossed your realtor gives you some good news.
