Hi everyone!
Through Monday, I am linking with the following:
Here we are at the end of May. As usual, the year is flying by.
We started out the week with high humidity, but after some rain mid-week, we've had very comfortable temps with highs in the 70s and much lower humidity. It looks like it will remain this way through the middle of next week. Then I think we'll turn on the oven again. I'll enjoy the coolness while I can.
I had a few appointments and meetings last week, most of which were virtual. I got a good amount of reading done each day (which for me is about an hour each day), I watched some television, and I worked on the puzzle. I won't post a picture today because I only made a small amount of progress. But small progress is still progress and I'm still determined to finish it.
I have a new goal, which is going to sound greedy, but I'm putting it out into the universe anyway. I want to win another Goodreads giveaway. I have entered a total of 126 giveaways and I have won one book. That was Come Shell or High Water, by Molly McRae, in the summer of 2024.
When I looked at my list of giveaway entries today, I realized that although I posted my review back then, it was still marked as "Want to Read" and I never clicked on "Received my Copy". I'm hoping now that I've updated that, it will increase my odds of winning another giveaway. (Although for some reason, in my list of entries, it still has it as "Want to Read". That seems to be unfixable. Maybe I'll contact them and ask if they can correct it.
I'm also going to make it a point to be more active in the few Goodreads groups I belong to. I was pretty active in one of the groups the year that I won and I have read that doing so does increase your odds of winning. I recently entered another giveaway and that one is still open. Fingers and toes crossed.
