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!
Welcome in everyone, hope your week went well. We had a bit a blast from the South Pole in the last week so it was light the fire and cozy up beside it, and I have to admit walking suffered because I wasn't willing to face into the southerly wind. However all sunshine today. I have to admit that today I realised I hadn't pruned the roses yet. Getting a bit late for it. I seem to be neglecting the outside considerably.
On Saturday I did visit a Craft and Quilt show which was interesting. Mostly modern quilts on show from Australia. Very clever, although I prefer the traditional ones myself.
What I read last week:
Two review books, both very enjoyable reads.
And I finished listening to Breakaway. The first in the series and I look forward to continuing with it soon.
What I am reading at present:
From the TBR shelf
And I am about to start listening still to :
Up next:
Review books - oh yes the Christmas books are appearing!
Posts from the last week:
Hope you like Overseas as much as I did. Hope to get back to regular walking this week.
ReplyDeleteEchoes of Family is on my list...and I'm curious about The Art of Keeping Secrets. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteNice selection of reads. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOoh a cold blast huh? We'll be getting those from the other direction before too long! I'm going to enjoy fall as much as I can because I know what's coming. :) And yes the Christmas books will be appearing. I haven't been in a bookstore in a while but I know the next time I do I'll see some. I don't really mind though.
ReplyDeleteHope your week ahead is a good one!
We had some cold weather while I was at the conference as well. I felt bad for those people who'd come north to Qld hoping for warm weather and sunshine but it rained and was quite chilly the entire time. Until Sunday when the conference finished.. and the sun came out!
ReplyDeleteEchoes of Family looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteI am adoring The Art of Keeping Secrets, it's brilliant! Can't wait to get stuck into again tonight, hope you love it too.
ReplyDeleteThe art of keeping secrets - just tell it to your husband! They never remember what we say in any case. Seriously, it does seem like a good read. Love the cover! Echoes of family also looks nice. Hope you will have a good week ahead!
ReplyDeleteA cozy fire sounds lovely. I wish I had an open fire to use at home. It's one of the nice things about the weather changing. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Overseas but love Beatriz Williams's books. I hope you enjoy it. I can't believe Christmas is so close already. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYour books look so good. I'm already getting Christmas books too. It's hard to believe. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSeeing the In Death book reminds me that I really want to do another binge of that series. I read the first 8 or 9 earlier this year and then took a break. Maybe that will be up next week! Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteHow's Overseas? That's the only Beatriz Williams I haven't read.
ReplyDeleteYou had a busy week. I am happy to have some cooler weather after a hot summer.
ReplyDeleteThe fire sounds lovely but not the cold. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks as though you had a good reading week. The quilt show sounds nice. I like traditional too.
Have a great week.

My It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?
I've been considering planting some rose bushes. I love seeing the roses in the neighborhood when nothing else is blooming. I'm clueless how to take care of them, though.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to read Echoes of Family. I'll be looking for your review to see what you thought of it. The Art of Keeping Secrets looks interesting. And I love Christmas books and love adding them to my TBR list. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have some interesting reading ahead.
ReplyDeleteI go a little crazy with mysteries in fall and Delusion of Death sounds perfect for this time of year. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteDelusion of Death sounds like a good one. I'm not quite ready for the Christmas books yet.
ReplyDeleteKathryn I always said we were separated at birth and if we agree on Overseas I'll know its true. Have you read anything else by Beatriz? She's a wonderful author, and BFF's with Karen White and Lauren Wittig so if you haven't read The Forgotten room co-authored by the three of them I suggest it too. If you want here is my review of Overseas and it includes my interview with Beatriz -

I'm glad you enjoyed Breakaway and can't wait to see your review
I just turned in my review for Sarah Morgan's 3rd in her From Manhattan with Love trilogy, Miracle on 5th Avenue due out in December!!
Have a great week!!!!
xoxoox
Always so funny to hear what's going on on the other end of the globe - a southerly wind here means it's warm! It has cooled off here this week, too, but it is a huge relief after all the heat & humidity. Finally cool enough to be out on my back deck again!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a good reading week - hope you enjoy your books again this week!

Book By Book
Looks like a great selection of books you have lined up - I hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week!
ReplyDeleteChristmas in Eternity Springs looks good! I love Christmas books.
ReplyDeleteOverseas looks good and so does the Christmas story. I could use some more fun Christmas. Our outdoor chores are all being neglected. :-(
ReplyDeleteCozy fire (add books) sounds lovely.
Hope this is a good week for you!
I can't wait til we get hit with cold weather. This week funny enough has been cooler. Very breezy here.
