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. YA and middle grade reviews will still be posted on Ms. Martin Teaches Media - my other blog.
Other Than Reading...
Last week was a pretty quiet week. My new television did arrive and was installed on Friday. I also had them make sure that everything was attached and working including my new Amazon Fire. Friday night was the first night that I could watch my MLB.TV Atlanta Braves game on the big screen. They lost but the picture was marvelous.
We're still waiting for our new garage to be built but the electrician did come over on Friday to find out what we wanted in terms of electricity. Now we are going to have to shop for new light fixtures since we also want to replace the outside lights on our house so that the ones on the house and the garage match.
As far as I know, everything is proceeding as it should for our house sales. I heard that my townhouse had its appraisal on Friday but I haven't heard the results. My realtor is also working on the one item on the inspection report that needed to be fixed which should happen sometime this week. We seem to be in a cone of silence regarding the Locust Street house. Our papers list three different potential closing dates and our realtor doesn't know which one, if any of them, is the correct date. I think we're still waiting for the appraisal on that house.
Meanwhile, summer is rushing by with lots of great weather mixed with rain and thunderstorms. We're 4 inches above average rainfall for the year which makes us nice and green but also is the main reason we don't have a new garage yet.
