It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

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!

Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels, anything in the world of kidlit – join them!

I made my goal of 55000 steps for the week by a couple of thousand. It has been so hot here, I need to get up early to beat the heat. I love the sun, but sometimes a little rain would be nice. 

I had a quiet week, recovering from all the redecorating from the week before. Still waiting for the handles for the cupboards to arrive. Found the car keys on Tuesday - to both my horror and delight. I'd caught them up in newspaper and put it in the garage. Phew!

However now I don't want to drive my sister's car so only go for groceries. I do not want anything to happen to it! They'll be back next week with mine. They had a bad ride back to Rotorua in it - it's a bit slow you know. But guess what, my bro-in-law is a mechanic. Think it might be in better shape coming back! My sister just texted me to say my car was vacuumed and cleaned too and that The Book Thief was very sad. (Loaned it to her). I am not cleaning their car!!

At present there is a book giveaway on my blog. Do enter while you are here. Only take a short minute. One entry only for each person. New Zealand Book Giveaway  Open internationally.

For those book bloggers who are into crafts as well would like to draw your attention to this newly started sporadic meme started by a group of book bloggers.

What I read last week:

I know six sounds a lot, but I was very close to finishing the Susan Lewis audiobook, and then I flew through Shonda Rhimes audio. Both audiobooks - great. All the others were satisfying reads as well. Reviews will follow, except for Promises in Death. And if you read J. D. Robb you know it's always a reliable read.

What I am reading at present:

Listening to:
Wanted to try this author so picked this one up of my wish list from Audible.
