Welcome to my Monday Musings. It’s April already. Any good April Fool’s jokes out there?

We had one tense afternoon of registering my oldest for her fall classes at uni, but despite the heart palpitations it all worked out the way she wanted. My youngest had his spring break. On the weekend we had friends over for dinner. I can’t remember the last time I laughed that hard.

I have joined the Pinterest community. You can find me here. Let me know if you are on Pinterest and I’ll be sure to look you up. I have a lot to learn here and have no idea what I’m doing yet. Feel free to share any tips you might have.

And now on to the reading part of the post. (Mobile users – tap on the image of the book cover. PC users – just hover the mouse over the cover.)


DONE AND DUSTED

I added two new reviews and the latest quickie reviews are here.

Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood on Hooked By That Book
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In this clever and swoonworthy YA debut, life's moving pieces bring rival chess players together in a match for the heart.
Sincerely, the Duke by Amelia Grey on Hooked By That Book
⭐⭐⭐ Rick's recurring illness prompts him to make an impulsive proposition to Edwina. She accepts for reasons of her own. Will their secrets come between them?
The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata on Hooked By That Book
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vanessa wants to quit her job, but Aiden ups the ante when he not only begs her to come back, but makes a proposal that takes the “personal” in personal assistant to a whole new level.
Throttled by Lauren Asher on Hooked By That Book
⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Dirty Air series follows four F1 racers and the woman who brought them down to earth. The books are Throttled, Collided, Wrecked, and Redeemed.
The Reason I Married Him by Meghan Quinn on Hooked By That Book
⭐⭐⭐ Wyatt wants his grandfather's cabin, Aubree wants Wyatt's half of the farm. This marriage of convenience might be more than they bargained for.

FOR THIS COMING WEEK

Some more will inevitably be added as the week goes on.

It's Raining Rakes in April by Annabelle Anders on Hooked By That Book
An undercover duke and a clumsy, but ambitious, debutante.
Between Us by Mhairi McFarlane on Hooked By That Book
A woman's life unravels spectacularly after her screenwriter boyfriend uses their relationship as inspiration for his new television show.

INTERESTING QUOTES

From Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood: I can’t tell whether Zach recognizes the shade. He puffs up and struts to his board, and I’m left wondering how soon the black hole of antimatter that is his ego will swallow the solar system.
