Good Monday everyone,
It’s been a stressful week, right? How are things where you are? I hope you are all doing well and coping with the situation as well as possible.
Here we are doing well so far, we’d made some provisions a few weeks back and we are all set to stay in. I already work from home and the Man is able to work from home from now on, which is a relief. I’ve been more worried about my mom, who is 70+ with a fragile heart and lungs, but thankfully with everything that’s been happening over the past few days where we live (things closing down, people of her age/condition being asked to stay in, and so on), she is now staying home and safe.
Changing the subject back to books with small good news : I finally posted a review this week! In fact, 3 small reviews for 3 audiobooks that slightly disappointed me. And I have another similar post coming soon about 3 audiobooks that pleasantly surprised me (which is a lot more fun to write!)
I have a small mailbox this week – but only this week. I’ll admit I’ve been stress-buying books and that I have a small(big) haul coming soon… I promise, for the coming weeks, I’m planning on managing my stress by reading instead of buying more books!
Stay safe & wash your hands! <3
My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell – A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson (audio)
What did you add to your shelves this week?
Am I the only one who feels anxious when I see the cover of My Dark Vanessa? I hope it’s a good read! I also hope your mom remains healthy. My mom is in assisted living/memory care. They’ve decided to allow only 2 designated family visitors per resident. I’m one of those so I’ll be doing a bit of traveling in the next few weeks. Think I need to find a good audiobook.
I started My Dark Vanessa – read until Page 170. I couldn’t continue. Anxious is the word.
Jackson’s title is intriguing!
Stay safe.

I listened to A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and really enjoyed it. I hope you do too.
I also received My Dark Vanessa this week, and it came with a box full of books. I do stress-buy as well.
Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Dark looking titles. A Good Girl’s Guide looks intriguing.
I hope you all stay safe. Still working here but have set up strict appointment only policy – no walk ins.
Have a good week with good reading!
ENJOY your books and your week.
