Hi everyone!
Through Monday, I am linking with the following:
On the above blogs you will be able to see links to the posts from others who are participating in those blog hops, and if you're a blogger, you can join too.
I hadn't planned on doing a Sunday Post this week, but here we are! I went to Malice Domestic this weekend and had a fabulous time. For those of you who don't know, it's an annual convention celebrating traditional mysteries. It's held in my home state of Maryland, but this was my first time going in all the 36 years it's been around.
My plan is to share tips and stories throughout this week, so I hope you'll come back and read about my experience!

RECENTLY FINISHED

Before Malice, I finished reading Magus of the Library, Vol. 1, by Mitzu Izumi. This was the first graphic novel I've ever read and it's out of my comfort zone. I did enjoy it and I thought I would continue the series, but I'm not sure I enjoyed it enough to do that right now. Maybe sometime in the future. It does have a sweet story and great illustrations.

IN PROGRESS
I'm still listening to the first full-length novel in the Ducal Detective Mystery series, written by Sarah E. Burr and narrated by Melissa Green. A Summit in Shadow is the fourth book in the series. I am enjoying it, but I have to pause for a bit while I finish another book for a book club.
UP NEXT
After I finish listening to A Summit in Shadow, I'll move on to Throne of Threats, written by Sarah E. Burr and narrated by Melissa Green. I was able to pick up a free copy of this at Malice, so I may read it instead of listening to it this time. Or maybe I'll do both the audiobook and the print book. Lol.
ON TELEVISON
- Friends - I only have a few episodes left to watch and the final disc isn't working. Ugh. I may have to skip those. It's not like I haven't seen it several times already anyway.
- The Way Home - I'm doing a complete re-watch of seasons 1 and 2. So far I've re-watched the first episode in season 1. Already I'm picking up on things that came up in season 2. It's fun to watch it from a different perspective after having seen season 2.

ReplyDeleteMark, how perfect! I do hope you can make it. I'll be there. :)
DeleteSo glad you had fun at the convetion! I wish we had more things like that here I where I live. :) And I totally get the FRIENDS rewatch. I've seen all the episodes probably at least 5 times each lol. I watch on Netflix! :) Have a great week! <33

DeleteHow wonderful that you were able to go to a mystery convention!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's frustrating when the last disc doesn't work...
Thank you, Deb! :)
DeleteLovely you got to go to Malice Domestic. I’ve wondered what it would be like to be among so many authors at one time.
