It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organise yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!
So if you'd like to join in head on over to Sheila at Book Journey to let her know. The badge below will take you off to Book Journey if you click on it.
My reading has slowed a bit for December. I have only had a couple of review books to read and mostly I have been reading my own. And not very fast. However review books are filling up for the first quarter of next year. To say nothing of my overflowing bookcase waiting to be read.
May you all enjoy your Christmas break with family and friends as I intend to do.
What I read last week:
What I am reading at present:
Still listening to:
Enjoying it - a little mystery, a little drama, a little romance - set in England - heroine in her sixties and narrated extremely well. Amanda Prowse is a new author to me but just seen one by her on NetGalley so I requested it.
This is one on my Kindle that I won earlier in the year from The Eclectic Reader, so as the year winds down and no review books staring me in the face - its time has arrived!
Up next:
It's You by Jane Porter.

And various challenges! Just about done now, except for one I want to look at when and if it happens.

My first book of the New Year has been chosen! Looking forward to it. I hope you have a wonderful week and Christmas celebration.
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward Nise to seeing what everyone has chosen, still remember your hat pic for last years one or was that the year before!
DeleteI like the look of A Little Love....an older heroine is always a plus for us "olders." LoL.
ReplyDeleteI've also bought my First Book of 2016....and can't wait to start reading it.
Enjoy your week and the holidays!
Yes indeed, an older heroine around my own age - delicious!!
DeleteI'm not sure what I'm reading first yet. My reading has slowed down in Dec too. Just trying to get thru the holidays and start fresh in January. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a merry Christmas! And happy reading. :)
I guess December gets us busy about many things and books are given less time, or could be a winding down so we can wind up for Jan!
DeleteNext year I hope to finish sooner than the last weeks. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to sign up for a few of those Challenges, including First Book of the Year.
Merry Christmas - have a wonderful week! And enjoy your reading.
Yes Martha, the first book of the year is always fun.
DeleteMerry Christmas! I hope you enjoy your time with your family--and your first book of the year!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! My reading has slowed down too. I only finished one book this past week. I hope to get through a few while I'm on vacation this week.
ReplyDeleteI am participating in the First Book of the Year and I need to pick my book. I have a few I'm considering at the moment but I'm not sure if I'll be in the mood for something serious or if I should look for something lighter.
My reading has stalled ... I finished the one audio book but who knows if anything will get read this week, still quite a bit to do. No way am I missing First Book of 2016 but I need to make a decision what it's going to be ... this week!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy Northern Heat, it's a fast paced read so it should kick you along lol and I'm looking forward to hearing more about A Little Love, sounds like my type of read.
If I'm not back visiting before Christmas hope yours is joyous, overflowing with love and laughter xo
Sounds like you had a good reading week. I see that you read another j.d robb book ( It is a great series isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHave a great Christmas.
Sure is Viki. I intend to make 2016 the year I almost catch up! We'll see!!
DeleteI didn't know about the challenge, what a good idea! I think I might go with Gunslinger by Stephen King because I've read the first three books in that series, and I've always meant to finish it. Also the whole quest thing feels appropriate for me going into 2016. Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteA Little Love looks good. Have a great week and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED It's You when I read it earlier this year--hope you enjoy. Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't decided on my First Book yet... hopefully I will next week. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThat's great you're reading your own books around the holidays! I'm mixing some backlist that I've been meaning to read forever with my Jan 2016 new releases. Kind of alternating between them...it's working so far!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Kathryn. Merry Christmas to you too!

I'm looking forward to the First Book of The Year event! I hope you enjoy the holidays!
ReplyDeleteI haven't decided what book I will have as my first book of the year. It most likely be the one I am reading now unless I speed up my reading. :)
ReplyDeleteNorthern Heat has a little bit of everything. :)
Merry Christmas to you.

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
Looks like you read some great books last week. My reading is a little slower this week too, but my kids are off school and I'm hoping to get my own books read too. I love joining in The First Book of the Year meme with Sheila and have participated in the last 3 years. What a great way to start the reading year!
ReplyDeleteSuch a busy time of year, isn't it? Glad you are finding some time to enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this holiday week with your family & friends!

I'm going to read your review of a Beautiful Lie. I have chose my 1st read of the year also, can't wait to see everyone's choices.
ReplyDeleteI have not chose yet what book I will read next. I have so many in my TBR pile that I kinda of just look at them and choose that way.

Hopefully I will soon have some xmas present books to read
ReplyDeleteA Little Love looks really good!
ReplyDeleteI haven't decided about my first book of the year - maybe because I'm hoping for a book or two for my birthday :)
