The Sunday Post/It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

Check out the The Caffeinated Book Review for the Sunday Post

It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date

This week was pretty much all business of some sort - doctor's visits, work, etc. Although necessary, it was just an average week - which is better than a bad one! My husband and I did have a fun date night the other night, walking around the street art fair in our town. It is one of the biggest in the state! I saw lots of things I liked but nothing I had to have. It was nice just to walk around together, check things out, and just be together. 

Read Last Week/Reading This Week:

I never charged my Kindle so I didn't get to the book I had planned to read. I am awful about that, keeping it charged. Anyway, I ended up reading one book and starting two others.

To Live and Die in Dixie - This wasn't too bad. The book had pretty strong similarities to the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil murder, but also some big differences. I would say it was influenced in part though, by the Jim Williams trial.

  

I started these two books. I am enjoying them both very much! I think the Gerald Durrell book is one I will probably read here and there, and not straight through, but I love it. I love the BBC show based on the books, so I knew I had to read them. And Everything We Left Behind is the sequel to Everything We Keep, which I loved. I plan to keep reading it, and then starting the book I intended to read last week, Wicked Deeds by Heather Graham. I am also keeping my fingers crossed one of my many holds comes in ~ I hate waiting! I may break down and purchase one or two of them if they don't come in this week. It's hard sometimes to settle on a book when you are waiting on something you really want to read. 

  

Watching:

The Tour de France, Wrecked. The Tour is so good this year! So many crazy surprises, so many top contenders out of the race. There have been a few pretty serious crashes too ~ thank goodness no one was too badly injured, although a few guys had to leave the race due to their injuries. Richie Porte, who was one of the cyclists that race forecasters believed could give Yellow Jersey winner from the previous year, Chris Froome, a run for his money, had one of the worst crashes this race. 

There have been a few lighter moments, including this video shot by cyclist Taylor Phinney..

How about you guys? What have you been up to lately?
