Happy Monday… afternoon? Evening? Sorry for being late – again – with this weekly reading update. I blame Monday. It’s been the Monday-est of all Mondays around here, too. The screamiest, Monday-est of Mondays. I told one of my co-workers that I think we should just make Mondays illegal going forward. Sound like a plan?

Anyway – last week was a doozy. I had limited time and even less attention for reading, and the result was that I spent basically the entire week over Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors, which is a nice quick read that I would ordinarily whip through in a couple of days. I definitely enjoyed it, but it took way longer than usual because of trying to read with a completely fried-to-a-crisp brain. I eventually did hit my stride and finished it up late on Sunday, and then – because I can’t be between reads – picked up A Countryman’s Spring Notebook, a pre-order to which I’ve been looking forward for months now. Read it a bit over coffee this morning and I’m about forty pages in and loving it every bit as much as I knew I would.

Next up, I think I’ll read Curtain – the final Poirot mystery, which I have out from the library – because I have a couple of episodes of Shedunnit that include spoilers, and I want to read the book first. And then, down to business on my final three reads for the Classics Club. Closing in on my deadline, with three doorstoppers left – encouragement welcome.

It was a big baseball weekend! Nugget played games for his regular AA Little League team on Thursday and Saturday, and on Friday night we got an email calling him up to play a game for one of the AAA teams on Sunday – subbing in for a player who had to miss the game. Not sure if he will play any more AAA games this spring, but he had a great time, scored two runs (including one on a steal of home) and rotated between second and third bases. We spent at least twelve hours at the ballpark between Thursday and Sunday, but what fun he is to watch on the diamond.

What are you reading this week?
