It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is a meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
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.
This week has been much better than last week for me. My car tire and my washing machine have both been repaired. My cold has gotten to a much better stage. I'm still coughing and dealing with a runny nose but the aches and fever have gone.
I just learned that my cable television company is going all digital in mid-October. So Friday evening I had to go to their store and pick up the box that will translate their signals for my old TV. Since everyone else wanted a box too, I had to wait for over an hour for my turn and I had left my book in the car. Saturday morning I set it up according to their directions which meant I had to unload my entertainment center so that I could move it away from the wall to get to the back where all the cables go in. It gave me a chance to get rid of lots of stuff I had just been throwing in there to get it out of sight. After a few frustrating tries, I got it programmed and working. Except, I don't know how to connect my DVD player in the new system. Good thing I seldom watch DVDs.
I'm planning to attend another author event in the Twin Cities on Thursday evening when I friend and I go to Wild Rumpus for the Epic Reads Event. I haven't been to Wild Rumpus for quite a while and I have never had a chance to meet any of these five authors. I had ARCs for four of five of the books they will be talking about. It will be nice to get finished copies for my Media Center and get their autographs in my author book.
Next Saturday is also the Twin Cities Book Festival. I might go up but am waiting to hear what the weather will be like before I make my final decision. I would like to get a chance to hear Jessica Day George speak but not enough to battle cold or wet weather.
