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!
Yikes I know! December ... how did that happen!
I had a good week, nothing outstanding, lots of gardening and weeding, well weeding mostly! I also finished a quilt, the one that saw me getting through a couple of audiobooks last week as I quilted it.
Here it is on the line drying. No. I don't have a dryer!
I also set up my Full House Reading Challenge 2017 as it is that time of year. Came very quickly! I will host the Read the Books You Buy again for 2017 and will put up a post for sign up to that at some point in the coming week.
What I read last week:
I read/finished the following three, all worth the read. Tamar was set in New Zealand and an historical. The Look of Love was an audiobook that I enjoyed and Island of Glass was the final book in Nora Robert's most recent trilogy and very much enjoyed.
What I am reading at present:
My reading seems to have slowed, I guess there are other things to be achieved!
Listening to Endless Chain. It is a reread for me, and a good way to reread is to listen to the audio. I had chosen another book from Audible but returned it, thought it was dopey! After an hour of it I decided that was enough.
Up next:
Posts from the last week:
Always frustrating when you are listening to a book that just doesn't work or has a horrible narration. Hope you are liking Breath of Fire. One of my most anticipated reads! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice week. :) I've been wanting to read a book by sarah Jio so whenever I see one of hers pop up it reminds me of that. Hope you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt... you're very clever. Thankless in Death isn't the new JD Robb is it? I think I've put in a request for one recently but can't remember when it was coming out!

DeleteNo Deb its not, just reading my way through, its about #36 or 37.
DeleteLooks like you had a good reading week. Hopefully you will be doing the woman fiction challenge again!
ReplyDeleteNo Viki I have decided to stop doing that one for a couple of reasons, so sorry about that.
DeleteTotally understand. Thanks for hosting that challenge for the last few years.
DeleteOk on no Women's Fiction Reading Challenge.
DeleteThanks for hosting before and for encouraging me to join in last year.
I made my goal. :)

I love that quilt! Your books look good, too. Enjoy your week, and thanks for hosting...and for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy reading was slow this week too. Your quilt looks great. I'm thinking about your Full House Challenge. Looks like it could be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks really pretty. I wish it was summer here. In an ideal world I'd live here in Ohio during summer in the Northern hemisphere and live in Australia or New Zealand during summer in the Southern hemisphere :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy rereading books by listening to audio too. I love that we can return books to Audible. I've returned a few lately. Thankfully I'm loving my current listen. I still have 3 credits to spend and I'm considering picking up some more books I want to reread like Jane Eyre. Have a great week!
I really want a quilt when I look at yours :)
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is absolutely beautiful! I admire anyone who can make things like that!
ReplyDeleteBreath of Fire looks like a nifty read I really dig the cover. I'm so jealous of your quilt. I want to learn but it seems so complex. I think your quilting skills are Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love audiobooks, and like you, I listen to them while I'm doing my handicrafts. I'm currently crocheting together a bedspread and I've already finished two audiobooks while working on it.
ReplyDeleteA lovely quilt. I wish I could get away with audio books. So many things I could do whilst listening to them. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning quilt! I can see you were listening to books while you made it. It shows in the beauty of your work.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some great reading ahead for you this week. Beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week!
Wow....your quilt is GORGEOUS!!
ReplyDeleteSuch talent and perfect work.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice reading week - I still haven't read anything by Sarah Jio.
Have a wonderful week this week.

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
That quilt is amazing! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful! No one in my family knows how to do it. I think it would be fun to learn! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt, you are very talented.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt! Audiobooks and sewing/crafting go well together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! You're very talented. My sewing skills are pretty much limited to sewing on buttons that fall off :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good reading week - hope you enjoy your books this week, too!

Great job on the quilt, Kathryn. Thanks for hosting the 2016 Challenges. I failed miserably this year! I did get all my quilting challenges done, but just hit a wall with the reading. I am not sure if I will participate in any challenges in 2017. I'm waffling between "yes, I will" and "no, I'll just fail again"!! Sad!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy. The quilting challenges are the important ones - right! Hope your reading mojo comes back though.
Delete2016 is definitely coming to a quick end. I still have so much reading to do. Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week you had Kathryn. Your quilt is wonderful! I will try to move up Emilie Richards. I have a small stack on my nightstand that needs to be tackled once I finish the last Lunar Chronicles book. I was too lazy to post today. I have to get those cards ready for the mail.
ReplyDeleteCards take time! I just have to get onto those Lunar Chronicles.
DeleteLovely, lovely quilt! I haven't returned an Audible yet although would have one or two older ones I would if I could.
ReplyDeleteThe Look of Love looks cute. I thought I had an Emilie Richards title in my Audible Library but it must have just been in my ever expanding wish list.
Have a good week!
The quilt is absolutely beautiful!! I just recommended my library purchase Tamar, after seeing it here on your list for a couple of weeks and getting more interested in it each time! I hope they acquire it - if not, I suppose I'll have to buy it myself! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous!! I wish I were so talented.
