Well, how has your week been? I’m waiting to see if everyone in my department at work has to have a COVID test. One of my staff members was exposed, and the family member who tested positive had the vaccine. Everyone in my department has had the vaccine, but with the breakthrough cases, any of us could test positive. (sigh) Think good thoughts.

And, I’ll think good thoughts for all of you dealing with extreme heat or fires. Take care of yourselves!

I’m currently reading Carlene O’Connor’s cozy mystery, Murder in Connemara. This book actually was released a year ago, but for sale only at Barnes & Noble. Next Tuesday it will be in general release. Tara Meehan, an American who moved to her ancestral home in Galway, Ireland, is getting ready to open her architectural salvage shop when an heiress tells her she wants her to source gifts for people so she can make amends. When the heiress ends up dead, Tara is already invested in the stories behind the gifts. Now, she wants to know if one of the recipients is a killer.

I’m always happy when I can travel to Ireland in my books. What about you? What are you reading this week? Even more important, how are you doing?
