I am really excited to participate in The Sunday Post hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer and Stacking the Shelves hosted by Reading Reality.
My Life
This was a pretty calm week. After fighting traffic to work on Monday, I discovered that our entire office was covered in a layer of grime from the blasting in the unit that had the fire. I grabbed a few things to work on and was able to work from home that day which was nice. Too bad I had already driven all the way to work though. They will take down our ceiling and replace ductwork starting sometime next week so I will have about a week of working from home, which should be good.
One of my co-workers at the library invited me to her in-person book club which met Friday night. We read Remarkably Bright Creature and everyone enjoyed the book. I am thrilled to officially be a part of a book club.
I have an in-person interview for a full-time spot at the library this week. I am trying not to get too excited about it but I really hope that I can get the position.
How was your week?
What I’m Reading
I finished 5 books this week. Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave by Elle Cosimano was such a fun read. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed I Did Something Bad by Pyae Moe Thet War. The Bloodless Princes by Charlotte Bond was a solid addition to the series. I read Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt and can understand why so many people rave about it. I just had to pick up Toto by A.J. Hackwitch when I found out it was a Wizard of Oz retelling from Toto’s point of view.
I am currently reading The Shadows Rule All by Abigail Owen and am enjoying it quite a bit. I started Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica on Halloween since it seemed like a fitting read for the day.

Favorite Instagram Post of the Week
What books do you add to your shelves this week?
I wish you the best with the interview. It’s inspiring to see you going for it. *applause, applause* An IRL book club, how fun! I adored Creatures. It’s the type of uplit I enjoy. I was eyeing Toto yesterday. I am curious.
Fingers crossed for you for the library position! That’s exciting! And yay for the book club! I’ve never been much of a book club person. First I fear that I won’t like the book choice even if I am in the right genre club. Then I worry I might read too slow for the club and not be where I need to be or that I’ll read too fast for the club and forget everything by the time it meets…it stresses me out so much that I just decided it’s best to not be in one! Lol.
Nice new reads! I am kind of curious about the Toto book and oh wow! I nearly forgot The Shadows Rule All releases soon! I was on Entangled’s list for that but I guess the delay might have mucked things up! Luckily I preordered a copy as “just in case” scenario! Will have to read that one as soon as I get caught up on my Broadbent readathon! Lol.
Hope you enjoy the new reads!

Yay for finding a fun book club group! I enjoyed Remarkably Bright Creatures, too. Marcellus is such a great character. 😀
That will be nice to work from home. Less driving and easier to throw in a load of laundry or more options for lunch. That would be exciting to get the library job. Is it close to home?

Good luck with your interview.
Good Luck on the interview!
I hope someone comes to clean up the office soon after they fix it
Definitely good to have a calm week and I’m glad you’ll know that you’re working from home ahead of time next go round! How fun to have the in-person book club and what a great choice of a book. I hope you’re having a great week! And all the fingers crossed and good vibes sent for the interview.
