It tends to happen to me around vacation time when I read more books than I usually do. Everything I write sounds the same. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your books. Some of these sound so charming. I'm always up for a seasonal mystery.<br /><br />https://thebookconnectionccm.blogspot.com/2021/09/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-and.htmlCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-45956108330367354922021-09-06T11:48:10.438-04:002021-09-06T11:48:10.438-04:00All the bad weather has missed my area too.

I'll write out the initial review and then I'll go through my notes and add whatever I'd missed. Then I go through and edit/polish it off.
