No pool this week as the temps remained cooler. The Royals’ were disappointed. Mr. Caffeinated’s Birthday was Saturday and today we are celebrating Mother’s Day. My mother is in the hospital but she sounds good. Network Effect, the first full-length Murderbot Diaries novel published this week, and I’ve been happily devouring the audiobook whenever time allows.
Happy Mother’s Day! Elbow hugs – Stay Caffeinated.

Ahhh, Murderbot. <3 I had an ARC, but then I had to wait for my wife to get it and catch up, or I'd have been in the doghouse.
Sorry to hear your mother's in the hospital!
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
I’m sorry to hear your mom is in the hospital, but glad she’s doing well. I hope she can go home soon.
It’s been downright chilly here as well. I’ve been wearing sweaters and even fingerless mitts while I work. It’s a pretty day today, and the temperatures will be climbing through the week. Pretty soon I’ll be complaining about the heat LOL!

I do want to read The Lost and Found Bookshop as well!!!
