So good for you for keeping to your commitments!<br />I recommend two books in my "It's Monday" post today -- Afterlife by Julia Alvarez in print and Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson on audio. Three, I guess, if you count The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory on audio, which I just finished! Love all of Jasmine Guillory's books!<br />http://baystatera.com/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-8-24-20/Laurie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177559207735782406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-5092315928304506542020-08-24T20:03:17.532-04:002020-08-24T20:03:17.532-04:00I started a cozy mystery yesterday that isn't ...I started a cozy mystery yesterday that isn't really a Christmas book but it is set around Christmas time and it feels to early.

It's also been hot and a bit muggy our way too. And we're getting smoke from the California fires so it's hard to make it outside to get a little fresh air! I hope you have a great week.Heather G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18051840056392247706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-34966126171475052352020-08-23T18:10:28.695-04:002020-08-23T18:10:28.695-04:00I've seen Wrecked by Rum on someone else's...I've seen Wrecked by Rum on someone else's list.

Yesterday, the hurricanes were both aimed directly at us here in Texas, but I think they might have moved a bit from that now. Oh boy. Two hurricanes.<br /><br />I like the idea of reading a Christmas book right now. If we ever get a vaccine for the virus, we should have a day of celebration, to thank all the people who have sacrificed so much during this time.<br /><br />I'm hoping The Good Place will be shown on Netflix. I've heard it might, but I haven't heard anything yet. We are watching old Seinfelds. They are cheery.<br /><br />Have a good week.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-39601127890897921122020-08-23T09:39:02.630-04:002020-08-23T09:39:02.630-04:00I hope the numbers keep declining, Yvonne, so that...I hope the numbers keep declining, Yvonne, so that you can get your life back to some sort of normality.
