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!
Well another week marches on. For those who celebrate Halloween, have a great and fun evening.
Well Spring still seems to be a little unsettled weather wise, so a little gardening when I can. I also went back to my old school to help out on what we call Mission Day - a fun fair for raising money for those in need. One of the other past teachers and I did the morning teas. I was totally ready to come home and put my feet up at the end of it - too tired even to read well!!
The children had put a $2 price on it, I added a .50c - its a money making business!! Or should I say - giving business!
What I read last week:
From the backlist and recently bought a light happy read.
Finished this audiobook. #3 in her MacGregor family series. Was just okay.
For review and loved it - Faithful.
What I am reading at present:
Listening to....
Reading for review....
Up next:
One I should have read for review long ago!
And one coming up for review and blog tour. If you know me, it may not quite be my kind of usual read!! We shall see how I go.
Posts from the last week:
A Lowcountry Christmas Mary Alice Monroe

Mission Day looks like fun...and so do your books. I, too, loved Faithful. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteYes Laurel-Rain wasn't Faithful so good.
DeleteI hadn't heard of Nalini Singh until recently and then about 5 people mentioned her. She definitely looks like and author I should try out!
ReplyDeleteHope you give her a go Melinda. Her Psy/Changling series I totally devoured!
DeleteI've made 2 requests in NG for the new Karen Rose. One was declined so I'm waiting on the other!
ReplyDeleteHachette Australia should have that for you Deborah!
DeleteI love Karen rose books. They arw definitely very suspenseful. I hope you like it even if it is a different genre for you.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a couple of you like Karen Rose so that is leaving me very positive Viki.
DeleteI hope Mission Day was a great success.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that Kristan Higgins novel. I will have to read it sometime.
Have a great week!
A backlist is always great when you like the author.
DeleteLooks like a good little tea and coffee operation going there- and some treats as well. Looks yummy! Hope your spring weather settles down- we seem to have settled into some relatively stable cooler weather here, although it got blustery late last week.
ReplyDeleteAnd Every Dark Corner looks like it could be a little tense!
Yes we shall see Greg, it does look a bit dark and promises tension by the look of the cover and blurb.
DeleteHow fun about the tea.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some good books in your queue.
This year as we have said ALL year is just flying. Too fast for me.
ENJOY this week.

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
I really want to read Alice Hoffman and I've also heard good things in the past about Karen Rose so two books for my list there. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteIt was the running of the book fair last week that wore me out. Good thing these exhausting activities are for a good cause!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you liked Faithful. I have it awaiting me.

Good reading and listening going on ... so fun to think of Halloween as a spring event.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy "Jane Steele" -- it was one of my favorites this year! Mission Day looks like a great little fundraiser. Hope you grabbed some tea and goodies for yourself -- sounds like you earned it! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like your morning tea went well. For a good cause too.
ReplyDeleteLoving your books this week - Faithful, Nora Roberts and JD Robb. Good to see Karen Rose has a new one out too.
Happy Halloween. Have a lovely week and enjoy your books.

Looks like your morning tea went well. Wonderful reading! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books! They look like good ones. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love how you snuck in the $0.50 :) I'm also listening to In Death, though I'm in the teens, people considerably behind! Enjoy. Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteI love volunteer work. You look great in that pic. Your smile says it all. I see you're reading a good mix of books. I'm curious about Faithful and what you'll think of Jane Steele. I haven't read it but the reviews have been good.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween! It's one of our favorite holidays :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a very busy week but a good one!
Enjoy your books this week!

Faithful was amazing...and Roberts and Higgins are great for lighthearted reads that you know will deliver!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!
I want to read Faithful. I think I've read ALL her books--started back in the 70's, and once I'm a fan, I follow faithfully. Finding an author you like means you'll (usually) like all her stuff, if nothing else, just to admire her versatility or see her develop and grow over the years,
ReplyDeleteFaithful is on my wish list so I'm glad you loved it!
ReplyDeleteThese look like great covers. I would have totally supported the tea. I hope it did well.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts on Jane Steele! That's been on my TBR for ages. I'm not sure if I've read that Nora Roberts. You've got me curious!
ReplyDeleteYour help with the Mission Day was probably special.
ReplyDeleteLots of good looking books. You got me interested in Faithful. And every time you post a JD Robb I want to pull another from my TBR to read.
