Welcome to my Monday Musings. Bad planning and more days of tight work deadlines meant I missed last week’s Monday post. I can’t believe it’s the last Monday of November. This coming weekend I am looking forward to putting up my tree and Christmas decorations. When do you do yours (if you do it)?

In the last two weeks, my kids had some time off school, we met up with some friends, and it was generally a good two weeks. My husband and I went to see Hadestown, which I really enjoyed. I loved the music. And over the weekend I watched Hysteria on Netflix, and that had me laughing out loud. This week my son’s school is putting on Mean Girls and he is playing Aaron. So excited to go watch him and his friends.

And now on to the reading part of the post. (To find out more about the books: For mobile users – tap on the image of the book cover. For PC users – just hover the mouse over the cover.)


DONE AND DUSTED

I added two new reviews in the past two weeks, and the quickie reviews are here.


FOR THIS COMING WEEK

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


QUOTES THAT CAUGHT MY EYE

From Holiday Rescue by Rebecca Zanetti: “You’re like a chocolate chip infused donut with glazed icing,” she whispered… “Delicious and tempting, but I’d regret it in the morning when I tried to put my jeans back on.”

From Flame by Adriana Locke: “Foxx, I think I’m a fraud.” My words hang between us, refusing to dissipate in the thick, humid air. The feeling of them in the world, free from the cage of my mind and available for judgement, is terrifying. But also, it’s a relief.

From The Day of the Duchess by Sarah MacLean: The kiss unlocked her, breaking her open, letting light and air into the dark, dank places in her. It thieved the protection she had built over months and years, casting it out and leaving her with nothing to keep him away.


OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
