Building the Book Pile #501

Welcome to Building the Book Pile!

Happy Sunday!

It was a strange yet busy week last week. Monday was the holiday so we finished running errands and doing chores for the week ahead. Tuesday and Wednesday I was in the office and was overtaken with emails about things for next week (when recruiting season kicks off and companies start coming to talk to students). I had a few meetings but spent most my time slogging through emails. On Thursday I was off, my husband had an appointment midday and I wanted to be there to drive him/ help if he needed anything. Friday I worked from home and again was overtaken by emails and things to do to prep for Monday.

On Saturday we had to go up north a few hours to pick up his car from the dealer (normal service needed to be done and if we went up there is was 'free'). After picking it up we stopped by another dealer to look at cars. We have been talking about going down to a 1-car household for a bit/ getting an EV... after looking we came home and I played with the dogs and took a short nap. We ended up at another dealership... no car was taken home and we haven't made a decision yet. 

On the reading front - things have been slow going. Between waking up multiple times at night for the puppy to potty and early mornings for the same/ her wanting to play - I have been so tired. Any time I sit to try to read I pretty much fall asleep.  I did finally finish Mrs. Christie at the Mystery Guild Library. It was good and no indication of the book that it took me so long to read it. Review finally coming this week. 

Monday starts my business season, but I am going to try to stay on top of reviews and the blog - if I am MIA for a bit.. no worries this is likely why. I hope that you have had a restful weekend with good books.


Linking up this week with the Caffeinated Reviewer and her Sunday Post series.
