It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 21st August

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!

Hope everyones week was great reading wise and otherwise. All the best for those travelling to see the eclipse, hope there are excellent clear skies and it is an amazing experience.

Well this week I had a couple of "Duh" moments! I was reading a paperback and tapped the page for it to turn. Had to smile at myself! Then yesterday a friend connected with me on Facetime from Australia and we couldn't see my picture, I was on my computer and couldn't work it out. Anyway in the meantime I connected with my iPad. About 8 hours later I suddenly knew why! I have a piece of tape over the camera on my computer... for security purposes!! Laughed again at myself.

I also spent a bit of time wondering about the email message from Google for my blog, about security in the Chrome browser, so decided to back it up and then upload it to a wordpress.com blog I set up for that purpose. I'd hate to lose the years from this blog. Anyway I will switch to the secure thing in settings now that I have it backed up.  I wish I had started out on Wordpress for a couple of reasons but like Blogger too for other reasons and I love the way the designer I hired set my blog up and don't really want to change over and leave that behind mostly.                                                        

What I read last week:

This was my first time reading Cathy Kelly. I enjoyed especially the story of Cassie and Coco and the mother that abandoned them. However I began to lose some interest with all the characters introduced, would have preferred more focus. That said, it did keep me reading to the end, although may have done some fast reading here and there! Well written.

Review will follow for this book - one of best I have read this year.

I also finished listening to...

This was a reread and I loved it. Proves that rereads of books I loved is so worth doing.

What I am reading at present:

A review book by fav author. I am moving a little slowly on it as doing other things but must put some mileage into it.

Started listening to...

Felt like a little paranormal
