Weekend Update May 27, 2012
>> Sunday, May 27, 2012
Since my last update:
I’m still reading Guilt by Degrees by Marcia Clark. I should finish that one today. It’s a great follow up to her first book and I’m already looking forward to the next Rachel Knight book (I hope she’s got another one in the works). I stopped reading Guilt by Degrees long enough to read The Drops of God (vol. 1) which is a manga series about the wine. This was my first graphic novel and I liked it a lot. I’ve passed it along to The Hubster because I think he’ll enjoy it too. Next up on the TBR list is The Yard by Alex Grecian which is about Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad in 1890.
On audio I finished listening to The Ape Who Guards the Balance by Elizabeth Peters. I had a great time revisiting the Peabody/Emerson clan and their adventures in Egypt. I’ve started listening to One Dog Night by David Rosenfelt. I really enjoy the way that Grover Gardner narrates this series.
Other than books and reading:
It’s been a busy week. I tried to get a lot of things done so that the three day holiday weekend could be focused on relaxing instead of a long list of things that needed to be done. It worked. I’m in the middle of a nice relaxing weekend.
Yesterday we went on another wine tasting venture. We went to two wineries that have been favorites of ours for several years. Both have moved into their own space and tasting rooms this year. Matello and Remy are only a few block apart so that makes it easy for us.
Can't leave without a gratuitious Abby photo.
Hope you’re having a great weekend.
No stars – I couldn’t even finish it
1 star – I didn’t like it but I managed to finish it.
2 stars – It was OK. Not good, but seriously just OK.
3 stars - I liked it. I didn’t think it was great, but I thought it was good entertainment.
4 stars – I really liked it. I really think you might like it too.
5 stars – It was amazing. I’d recommend this to just about anyone.

Glad you're in the middle of a long relaxing weekend. I'm in the middle of one here too.
I think I saw one other blogger who is planning to read The Yard. Is that a fiction or nonfiction book?
Hmm, wish I could have a relaxing weekend. Can't get my husband to do a thing around the house, during the week, so we have to do projects on the weekend. Weekends are not too awfully fun. We did have a superhero movie weekend, though - watched Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America. Thor was our surprise favorite.
Ha. Abby has a feather-duster tail! *love*
Looks like you had a nice weekend. I'm envious of your wine tasting adventures!
We mixed work with pleasure this weekend. Well, the work was mainly cleaning up the kitchen after cooking for a couple of gatherings. I'm always amazed that I can dirty up so many dishes in our little kitchen! :)
UnfinishedPerson: The Yard is fiction. It's the first in a planned series.
Bookfool: We both work hard to do things after work on weekdays so that we can try to have at least one day that's truly "off" on weekends.
Les: Sometime when you're out her we need to go wine tasting together.
That would be fun! Someday...
