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 I had another good week. On Tuesday I went into the city for a live show which was fun. It was part of the Women's Theatre Festival or WTF! This one was a conglomerate of 6-7 minute acts by women. My favourites were one where the woman was being Melania Trump, seeking political asylum here in Australia. (You'll only get that if you live in NZ!). She just wanted to be a kiwi bird, it was full of political references to the USA and NZ ones as well and I loved it. Another one was a cooking show, the comedian was the sister of a well known cook here in NZ Annabel Langbein whose books adorn the shelves everywhere in bookshops. Her sister did some cooking with no utensils, just a microwave and er... condoms!
Apart from that some reading, lots of quilting and well actually some walking was done as well. Pats self on back. I also cut up the chopped up pieces from the lemon tree so it would fit in a wheelie rubbish bin, so feeling like I accomplished things! Hope your week was good too.
We go out of daylight saving mode at the end of this week so timing of the post will most likely be an hour later.
What I read last week:
From the TBR shelf the first in a series. I enjoyed this romance although not sure if I will continue on with the series as going off straight romance somewhat. But.. you never know.
Two from the review shelf so reviews will be posted at some point. Both very good.
What I am reading at present:
From the TBR shelf just starting...
The Women's Theater Festival sounds like fun! Your books look good, too. I loved Almost Missed You.
ReplyDelete...and I am curious about The Girl Who Chased the Moon. I love that author...and have missed this one along the way.
That festival production sounds hilarious! I have to admit living in Trump's America has made me think about moving once or twice ha ha. And we had the daylight savings time change a few weeks ago, it always takes me a few days to adjust. :)
ReplyDeleteThat show sounds fantastic! Glad you had fun.
ReplyDeleteI liked The Girl Who Chased the Moon. I usually enjoy her books and hope you enjoy this one too.
Have a great week!
The WTF sounds hilarious. I've not been to New Zealand but I do get the joke. (Closest I've been is three months in Tasmania). One of the good friends, though, is from New Zealand. I'm jealous of you getting back to standard time. We've been on Daylight Savings now for about three weeks.
ReplyDeleteThe Girl Who Chased the Moon looks good. Glad you had time to walk and quilt too. My hubby and I have been getting some walks in too.
ReplyDeleteYour WTF show sounds like fun. Made me remember one we saw years ago called Menopause, The Musical. Very Funny if edgy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've had some good reading. I hope you enjoy this week. Happy Reading.
I really should read "Sweet Little Lies." I've read a few books by Jill Shalvis and have really enjoyed them!
ReplyDeleteHi.. this is my first time participating. I need to read Jill Shelvis's books. I've already had one but haven't read it yet. I hope I can as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading. :-D
Awww Addison Allen :)
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh; the show you went to sounds amazing! What fun! I love that there is an entire Women's Theatre Festival; such a treat. I'm glad to hear you've had a good week and I hope this one goes well, too. I've always enjoyed Sarah Addison Allen's novels; a wonderful escape.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your thoughts on Almost Missed You. It sounds like you had a terrific week. The women theater sounds like it was delightful.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an exciting week :) I'm glad you enjoyed Shalvis, it's on my shelf to read someday. I do get needing a break from straight romance though!
ReplyDeleteThe Womens Theatre Festival sounds so much fun. I would love to see something like that. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices Kathryn I loved Sarah Addison Allen's Garden Spells books. She has a fantastic storytelling voice.
ReplyDeleteI love Sarah Addison Allen's stories. This reminds me to pick up another one of her books. Have a great week and enjoy your reads.
ReplyDeleteThe WTF sounds like a lot of fun! Glad you had a good time and had a productive week. We just STARTED Daylight Savings Time, and I hate it!! It's harder on the kids to wake up in the dark and to go to bed while it's light. Makes no sense!!
ReplyDeleteAll those books are new to me. Enjoy!
I just read a Shalvis novel for the first time this year, I think I will need to look into Sarah Addison Allen. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGlad ot hear you enjoyed the WTF. I bet that Melania Trump act was hilarious! I wish I ha been there ;-) Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteI read that Jill Shalvis series and enjoyed it. Although I do prefer romantic suspense to straight romance. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI've listened to a Jill Shalvis romance on audio. Humorous contemporary or paranormal romances are my favorite types. I am STILL adjusting to our DST time change from a couple of weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great week! The WTF (ha ha) sounds like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books this week -

That show sounds funny; it made me think of the time I saw the Vagina Monologues.
ReplyDeleteThe Women's Theatre Festival sounds like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI love Sarah Addison Allen's books. I hope you're enjoying The Girl Who Chased the Moon.

Here’s my Monday post
Sweet Little Lies is so enjoyable - love that series! I'm fairly new to It's Monday, What Are You Reading...thanks for hosting.

That is a funny short cut for The Women's Theatre Festival. :)
ReplyDeleteNice list of books.
I have Almost Missed You too....I hope we both enjoy it.
Have a great reading week.

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
My reviewer Susan just reviewed Almost Missed You. She really enjoyed it. Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteI just can't say no to romance, and Shalvis is one of my go-tos. Her new series is doing a good job filling the Lucky Harbor shaped hole in my heart.
ReplyDeleteSam @ WLABB
I'll read anything Sarah Addison Allen writes. I truly escape into her books.
ReplyDeleteWTF sounds hilarious! I love that it's called WTF! I want to read the Shalvis but like you straight romance hasn't been pulling me lately. The Sarah Addison Allen looks so good and is on my TBR. I read The Peach Keeper a few summers ago and loved it and have been meaning to read more. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteDebbie Macomber is a great author! Have you read her "A good Yarn" series?
