Fave Pics
I took the first picture on Monday when I walked the half a mile to Gage’s bus stop in 50 degree weather. The second I took this morning. A tale of two Februaries in one week.
Highlights of the Week Thankfully this has been a much-needed mellow week. Three mornings at the library sorting books (my happy place), errands, bills, signing up Gage for summer camp, making appointments, sorting the house because Madame Chic told me too. I’ll review the book on Monday but it was a perfect read for me this quiet week.

On the Small Screen 
I have read all of Harlan Coben’s books and I think this is the third Netflix adaptation and definitely my favorite so far. Jason and I finished the last episode last night.
Outrage of the Week Feel free to weigh in on Newton’s demise here.
Mary Higgins Clark I loved Mary Higgins Clark books when I was in high school. I read a few more over the years, but not many. Since she recently passed and I thought I’d share this post about the time I bought Mary and her daughter a glass of wine 🙂 Do you have any good Mary Higgins Clark stories?
I’m linking up with The Sunday Salon.

Our February has been the same way. Snow flurries a week ago, then 80 degrees, and now we’re expecting snow flurries again today.
I used to read all of Mary Higgins Clark’s books, too.
I think 50 to us feels like 80 to you – at least in February 🙂
We’ve gone from fire to flood!
I devoured Mary Higgins Clark when I was younger, I haven’t read one in a long while though.
Oh no! You guys have been hit hard this past year 😦
I haven’t watched any of Coben’s books-to-TV. But I hope to watch The Stranger. Did you get an ARC of his latest, The Boy from the Woods? It’s really good.

I didn’t get an ARC so I will have to spend some money when it comes out. This is the one adaptation I would watch. They others were okay, but not great.
OK, your snow picture is so much better than mine. Ha! Wish I could come sort books with you at the library, Stacy. I did spend 3 days volunteering in various ways at 2 libraries. On Monday I processed new materials at a smaller library closer to my house. On Wednesday night, I led the mystery book group in discussing some of Rhys Bowen’s books. And yesterday, I processed and shelved holds, shelved new books, and did whatever else they needed me to do at the branch where I worked. All in all, definitely my happy place. We talked about Mary Higgins Clark at the mystery group. Almost all of us had read at least one of her books. She’ll be missed. We also mentioned M.C. Beaton’s passing and then someone mentioned Kirk Douglas. Can you believe that he was 103? Wow.
Wow, Kay! They really keep you busy at the libraries! I love my current job as President of the Friends group. I run the board meetings, do the things associated with it (some extra meetings and correspondence), and then all of the fun book sorting. And all on my own schedule! I never read MC Beaton.
Snow everywhere out there, here too. I am curious about the Water Dancer novel and looking forward to your comments.
The audio is good, but a little confusing at first. I think I’m only on disc 3 or 4 out of 12.
Very interesting story about Mary Higgins Clark. I had to Google what Bouchercon is, though. 🙂 I’d like to say my happy place is the library too, but since I work there (at our small town library), it’s not always — but often — happy. But I do always enjoy going to visit a local state university library where I can get away and read.
Bouchercon was so much fun. I was lucky that they had it in Cleveland that year 🙂 I worked at the reference desk at a small library for a year and it was not my happy place, lol. I’m having a much better time making my own schedule and doing what I want at a busier library. Of course, there’s no pay involved so it’s not perfect.
I need to get started on my daughter’s summer camp plans as well. My brain is just not cooperating, considering it is still winter outside. How can it even start summer planning! So I’m in awe of you.
I just saw your post about Newton. Ugh – that is horrific! I don’t know if we can tolerate that kind of indifference in adult books either. I’m hoping I won’t need to read that one with my kids. 😦
Well, I signed him up for three weeks so far, two of them his friend signed up for so I wanted to make sure he got in. I still need to decide on 2 or three more weeks.
Your weather has been crazy. How do you know what to wear each day when the weather varies so much?!
I read a different Madame Chic book some time ago, and now I want to try to find this one. At home is where it really counts, I think.
The library was and is and will always be my happy place.
I hope you have a lovely week.
I used to love Mary Higgins Clark’s books, too. I still have quite a few in my TBR. I hope you enjoy your books and have a great week!
The puzzle looks fun. My weekly update
