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 you are all well. And doing lots of reading!
What I read last week:
Enjoyed Sleepless in Manhattan, I was amazed to see Sarah Morgan has written seventy five books. I have only read about 7 or 8 of them and loved them all. Sleepless in Manhattan was the first in what I guess might be a trilogy. I am delighted to say I have the next one sitting on my Kindle from NetGalley.
I finished listening to The Seven Sisters, I liked the story with two dual times. However the narrator was not one I would listen to again.
I also finished Miller's Valley and loved it. The narrator suited the story well and while darkish in places it was also filled with family and warmth. Best epilogue ever! I think this might be my first library borrow this year!! I borrowed the CD set.
What I am reading at present:

What I am listening to:
This is a 'filler in' as I am waiting for Wendy Wax's new book "Sunshine Beach" - I have it pre-ordered at Audible and I have spent all my credits. So had to dig back into my library to find ones I hadn't listened to!

I signed up for the commenting challenge for July - this involves commenting on just one blog during that month and is very easily doable!
Interested? You have until the 21st of this month to sign up for it. You can do that here at Flylef or with Alicia from A Kernel of Nonsense.

Sleepless in Manhattan sounds good. I've read a couple of her other books.
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out that Comment Challenge. I've been seeing that around on other blogs.
Hope you have a good week!
Enjoy your new books! I'm curious about Last Ride to Graceland. Have a great week...
ReplyDelete75 books? Wow, it's amazing to me how prolific some authors are. Once they get on a roll lol...
ReplyDeleteHope your week is a good one. :)
Ugh! Sorry the narrator didn't work out for "The Seven Sisters." That has happened to me many a time...I probably would have loved the book if I had read it, but the narrator just ruined it for me. Sigh....
ReplyDeleteYou had a really good reading week and it sounds like you enjoyed most of it. I hope this week is another good one.
ReplyDeleteYou've had a bit of a Nora Roberts theme going lately Kathryn!
ReplyDeleteAnd I must check out the July challenge as I'm intrigued.
Lucky you on the new Sarah Morgan book - I have just read Sleepless in Manhatten but wasn't aproved for the next one :(
ReplyDeleteYou had a great reading week! Must try a Sarah Morgan one day, I've only heard great things about her books.
ReplyDeleteMiller's Valley was excellent, and I totally agree about the epilogue! I read it in print, but have been hearing such good things about the audio, I may listen at some point, too. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the Sarah Morgan book. She's one of the author's on m wishlist. Her books look so good. I didn't realize she wrote that many. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific week for you. Lots of books to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI will be looking forward to your thoughts on The Seven Sisters. Too bad the narrator was not the best.
Have a wonderful week, Kathryn.

My It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?
Glad you loved the Quindlen...my aunt keeps telling me I need to read her and I've heard good things about her latest.
ReplyDeleteSleepless in Manhattan sounds good. Sarah Morgan sounds like quite the prolific author. I envy people that can keep coming up with new story ideas- I can't even think of one.
ReplyDeleteBooks you read looked good as well as those coming up, hope you enjoy them! :)

Week in Review
Great week, as always. It looks like some good ones are waiting for you too. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou had a good week! Seems like you are listening to more audio than you used to . I guess you are really enjoying it. I wish I did-- would motivate me to walk more but I just can't wrap my mind around the plot. It's probably the type of "learner" I am.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of Sarah Morgan before, but wow, a very prolific author. It's fun to discover authors with a long back-list of work, isn't it. I have Miller's Valley on my kindle, have yet to read it but now I'm intrigued.
I will check out that challenge further and see what it's about. Thanks for mentioning it, and have a great week!
Sarah Morgan has written 75 books?? How did I miss that? I've got Sleepless in Manhattan and the next book on my Kindle and I'm looking forward to reading them. The Seven Sisters looks really good too! Enjoy your reading this week!
ReplyDeleteI have a "stack" of Audible books that I have "read" yet, but I still keep getting more. I despair of ever catching up.
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday Summary
Oooh...the Anna Quindlen sounds so good! I really want to read that one. Sounds like it was good on audio too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books this week -

Ohhh Singh! Awesome
ReplyDeleteI've read those books that have the potential to be great, but the narrations fall so short and don't do them justice. Sadly, it tends to taint my view of the book. I've heard so many great things about Miller's Valley, so I'm happy it was great for you. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices Kathryn, I'm just putting to bed my September contract reviews, time to get some for me reading on! I know about Sarah Morgan's total numbers, amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have a few of those books on the TBR. Now I know to read the hard copy of that Sisters book and not go audio. Working on my Monday Reading post. It's in the editing stages.
ReplyDeleteIt is a disappointment when the narrator does not enhance the book. Looking forward to Miller's Valley. I have not read Sarah Morgan. Thanks for the recommendation. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI really like Singh's Archangel series, but I keep bouncing of the psy-changlings. Hope you enjoy it!
