| Picking up library books; I love dandelions; unexpected ducks |
Welcome back to the Sunday Salon (hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz)! I'm trying to join the linkup on the last Sunday of every month to share both life news and bookish updates.
All covers are linked to Goodreads.
April News
1. I got a new desk chair!!! I work from home and sit at my desk pretty much all day, and I've had the same chair since I was nine. It was old even then, when I inherited it from my grandparents' office. In late March/early April, I started having stiffness and hip pain whenever I stood up (which is not good for a twenty-something). Weirdly enough, I didn't even connect it to my chair until my out-of-state bestie suggested that I get a new one. I did, and my husband put it together for me, and lo and behold, a few weeks later, my hip pain is gone! Hallelujah!
2. I started watching The Forsytes on Amazon. I think I like it? There's something about the lighting or the filming itself that I don't love, but I'm enjoying the story and the characters. I especially like June and Irene.
3. Yesterday was Indie Bookstore Day, and I was able to get the day off work! In the morning, I met up with my in-state bestie for pastries and a walk (below left); in the afternoon, my husband drove us to a cute historic district neither of us had explored before and we visited a few shops, including a bookstore (below right). I didn't find anything I wanted at the bookstore, so we then drove to a different bookstore and I picked up Twice by Mitch Albom as well as a free ARC of The Encore by Juliet Izon.
Just Finished Reading
I finished On Writing and Worldbuilding: Volume II by Timothy Hickson on Thursday, and on Saturday I finished After the Fall by Edward Ashton. Both were a solid four stars for me!
Currently Reading
I've been reading Cecilia, by Frances Burney, since March 30. I think I'm on track to finish it before May! I've also been listening to The Rom-Commers, by Katherine Center (need I say that I'm thoroughly enjoying it?). And I started Yesteryear, by Caro Claire Burke, a few days ago.
