Thanks for stopping by :-)
I also signed up for the readathon. It will be my first one. That enchilada recipe sounds delicious, thanks for sharing. Love the bookish puzzle. Happy Easter! Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever done the readathon...occasionally I've read along and tried to keep up, but always drop out after a few hours. It might be time to get serious about it.
ReplyDeleteI like that puzzle! We've been doing some too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe enchilada sounds great. Yumm! And Good Girls Guide to Murder looks like a good one, I kinda want to get it too.
I'll have to check out A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. I liked the recipe and your puzzle too. I haven't done Dewey's RAT in ages. I might check that out this time around since I might actually be able to read all day with how things are. Thanks for stopping by!

How neat about the opera.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great books on your list. The Best American Travel Writing sounds superb.
Hope you have a blessed week.

I really enjoyed The Good Girl's Guide to Murder and have been doing lots of puzzles. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteI just read that puzzles are in high demand and harder to find during the pandemic. The streaming from the Met has been awesome.
ReplyDeleteYour puzzle looks cute!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week and good health
I didn't realize the Met was doing that. I'll have to check it out. I watched the free P&P Musical the other night and it was fun.
ReplyDeleteNeat that you're catching the online bookstore author events.
Have a good week!
I need to watch the operas! It's been on my list and I haven't done it yet. And I'll be signing up for the readathon as well. Glad you are staying healthy and safe.
ReplyDeleteYummm.. that recipe sounds very tasty. The Holly Jackson book looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and happy reading.
It's been ages since I did the readathon... I just don't feel like staying up all night anymore, and then it feels weird! Will you be doing the full 24 hours?
ReplyDeleteI'll have to take some time to listen to some of the opera offerings. How nice!
ReplyDeleteThat recipe sounds delicious to me.
I like several of your books, especially A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and Why We Swim too.
I've never felt I could commit the time for a read-a-thon.
Stay safe and enjoy some reading!
I should do one of the many puzzles I have.
ReplyDeleteI need that cute puzzle!!!
