It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (March 22, 2021)

 It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is now hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date.

It’s Monday!  What Are You Reading is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week.  It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

I will be combining my YA and adult reading and purchases on this one weekly roundup.

Other Than Reading... 

This was a nice sunny week which was good for solar production. On the other hand, our garage door wouldn't open when I was supposed to go to my doctor's appointment on Thursday. The opener lifted it about a foot before it froze. So, I called and cancelled my appointment and waited until my brother got home from work in case it was something he could fix. We ended up calling the repair people the next day because a spring had broken. The repairman fixed that but then told us that the door itself was cracked and ought to be replaced. So we're waiting for an estimate before scheduling that job. Always something when you own a home!

On the positive side, my government stimulus payment showed up in my bank account on Wednesday. Guess I know how I'll be spending it. 

This week is pretty empty of anything I have to do except for my semi-annual dentist appointment  My brother has an appointment for his Coronavirus shot on Friday. He doesn't know what vaccine he'll be receiving or if he'll be given a choice. I'm pretty sure that he'll take the one-and-done J&J vaccine if he has a choice. My second shot is scheduled for next Sunday. It will be nice to know that we are that much closer to being safer from this nasty virus. 

I've been enjoying The Voice and mostly listening to the Atlanta Braves Spring Training games. While the snow is melting away, it isn't quite warm enough for me to start walking outdoors. I'm waiting until the snow is gone from the sidewalks I use before I go walking outside.
