I honestly have BARELY been on social media this whole entire week! After I got home from work I would listen to an audiobook and do a puzzle. It’s been a breath of fresh air actually. I finished two puzzles this week, which is a huge accomplishment for me.
Wednesday my husband and I went out to dinner with our friend and his wife. We had a great time hanging out, just catching up, and the food was delish!
I am making my way through Dead In The Water by John Marrs. So far it’s a good book. Some themes in this book are hard for me to read and this is why I am taking my time with it.
I am dual reading/listening to Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio. I tried just reading it back in November and life got in the way and the book got put on the backburner until it had to be returned to the library. The audiobook hold came in via Libby so I borrowed it along with the book again. I only had the audiobook for two weeks from the library and they are gonna take it back later today (OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!) because at the time of writing up this post I am only 81% in, aka I have FIVE AND A HALF HOURS LEFT in the audiobook! Let’s pray I can finish it before Libby snatches it out of my grasp!
I am going to start In His Wake by Chad Zunker today on my Kindle. He’s a familiar author whose books I enjoyed and I need something of a palate cleanser from the denseness of Empire of Silence.

I stopped using Goodreads and refuse to go back.
I am currently trying out Pagebound. This is my profile page if you’d like to be friends on the app.
If I am not listening to an audiobook while doing a puzzle, I put The Golden Girls on as background noise. The show is on Hulu. It’s a classic and still cracks me up!

The Sunday Salon/ The Sunday Post #31
Sounds like a good week. I’ve read too much news probably. We have a puzzle we have worked on for a couple years but not recently. We may need to devote some effort or move on to an easier puzzle.
Anne – Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Someone told me if you take your device off wifi, then they can’t take the book back. Not sure if that works or not. Try putting it on airplane mode. That second puzzle is gorgeous. It’s always nice to spend time with friends. I hope you have a good upcoming week, Melissa.
I finished it with an hour to spare, haha! Have a great week Carla!
I’m trying to only check in on social media once a day. It does not make me feel good to get on it.
That food looks delicious!
Yes!!! I honestly can’t be bothered with it anymore
I have been on social media less this year. I use an app that asks if I really need to be checking my accounts. I do some word puzzles on line instead!
I play Wordle and Spangram on the NYT app lol
The puzzles are lovely! I hope you managed to finish Empire of Silence.
Wishing you a happy reading week
I sped up the pace a little bit and got it finished with an hour to spare, haha!
Sounds like a great week… Those puzzles are so pretty! Shame about those three pieces of the second puzzle though… I hope you will enjoy In His Wake!
