It's been a crazy couple of weeks. For those that don't know, my dad had quintuple bypass surgery which is why I've been absent recently. He is out of the hospital and now in a rehab facility at a nursing home where he is doing well. Hopefully it won't be long before he is back home. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
Me as Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)
At the library I have been busy trying to catch up from all the time off. We had our Comic Con event on Saturday and though the event didn't go the way we'd planned, we had over 130 people in attendance which was fantastic and the attendees seemed to enjoy themselves. On Monday I have my murder mystery dinner and I still have a lot to do to get ready for that.
Books read:
The Undateable by Sarah Title
Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate
Falling for Trouble by Sarah Title
This is another contemporary romance featuring a librarian. Liam is a library director in a small town who falls for a wild musician. I liked how the library was more a part of the story.
Then Came You by Becky Wade
The Forever Summer by Jamie Brenner
Currently reading:
In Farleigh Field by Rhys Bowen
This is the first mystery outside of her "Royal Spyness" series that I've read. It is set during WWII and involves German spies and a British village.
Love your superhero outfit and is that your library in the background? It's gorgeous! I'm glad you enjoyed The Forever Summer. I thought it was a good beach read for sure! I'm glad to hear your dad is on the mend. I hope you are having a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks! One of my coworkers helped with the sewing part of the costume (it's made from a men's t-shirt and the sleeves are from a Christmas shirt I found at a thrift shop). That is my library in the background. It is a nice building and very pretty outside too. Thanks for recommending The Forever Summer. Really enjoyed it.
DeleteI like your last book on the list. I hope I can track that down. I hope your Dad improves fast and is back home as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I am sorry to hear your dad had to have surgery, but glad that all is well! Hopefully he will be up and at em' soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your costume! Great job!
I loved In Farleigh Field. It's not my usual genre, but I really loved that book. I think this fall/winter I am going to give her other series a try. She had a great writing style that I enjoyed. Have a great week, best wishes to you and your family as your dad recovers!
It's too bad you didn't like the main character in Before We Were Yours. I've heard about this one and it seemed like an interesting book.
ReplyDeleteThe murder mystery dinner sounds like fun. glad you Dad is slowly recovering. Your costume is awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat Ms. Marvel costume! And I agree with christina- your library looks great! Glad to hear your dad is out of the hospital and best wishes to him for a fast and complete recvoery.
ReplyDeleteAwww...I hope your dad gets better and I love your Ms. Marvel costume!!!
