It’s been a quiet week around here — at least in terms of books! But I did get a bicycle, after several years of not cycling, so that was exciting. I’m looking forward to getting out and about a bit more; normally I go for walks, but you can’t get very far that way, at least not in a limited time like a lunch break. I already did some exploring of the local villages, which was a fun ride!
Books acquired this week
N/a! Yep, absolutely nothing new this week. I did start a new serial on Serial Reader, so perhaps we can count that just to add some colour to this entry…

What I’m reading
Today I’ve been focusing on volume 5 of Heaven Official’s Blessing, where I keep thinking that “Yakety Sax” would be the perfect background music… At times it’s a bit sillier and more slapstick than I typically enjoy, but I do love the characters.
It’s been a slow week for reading, but here’s a sneak preview of the books I read which will be reviewed on the blog in due course:
And that’s it for now! Hope everyone’s been having a good week.
Linking up with Reading Reality’s Stacking the Shelves, Caffeinated Reviewer’s The Sunday Post, and the Sunday Salon over at Readerbuzz, as usual!
Riding a bike is a great way to see what’s happening. Enjoy yours!
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
It’s not a super great area for biking in terms of stuff like bike lanes and places to chain a bike safely, but hopefully it’ll still give me a bit more range for exploration, heh.
I keep meaning to read more Agatha Christie but get sidetracked.
She has so many to choose from, too! And all still in print, it’s amazing.
I got a bike at the beginning of the summer. I love riding it around town. It isn’t as hot as walking in the summer.
I’m curious about The Ocean in 80 Fish. I look forward to seeing your thoughts.
You can create your own breeze that way, after all, haha.
I liked Around the Ocean in 80 Fish! The illustrations are lovely.
You can’t go wrong with Agatha Christie!
She was one of the Queens of Crime after all!
Congrats on getting a bike! I was so excited to get mine but I only got to ride it ONE TIME before the heat of summer set in. Can’t wait for ride #2 as soon as Fall weather sets in. lol
It hasn’t been too hot this year, and now I have to worry it’ll rain too much all the time, haha. Wish I’d got it a bit sooner. Oh well!
