It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

badge

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!

Welcome in everyone and looking forward to seeing what everyone is reading or going to read. 

I had a quiet week, a mixture of things to be done and enjoyed. Our Spring weather is very windy but still the sun is out so not complaining. Oddly enough though would like some rain because the garden is dry already.

I've been catching up the second series of Victoria, just one more to go and then I'll watch something else through. I was quite surprised that she showed concern for the Irish during the potato famine, hope that is historically true. So many of the English were so hard hearted about it.                            

What I read last week:

The Gilded Hour was over 700 pages - I enjoyed it but because not all the story line was wrapped up until the next 700 page clunker I am sure, I was a bit annoyed. Set in nineteenth century in Boston it followed the story of two women doctors who are both cousins.

What I am reading at present:

For review ... I have just started this new Loretta Chase book, she can usually be relied on for a good fun historical romance.

I couldn't pick anything out of my wish list at Audible, I have a few hundred possibles there, but everything felt no ... not just now. Eventually I settled for this cozy mystery. I am one third through and still a bit mystified as to what is the mystery. Its just okay!

Up next:

For review, thanks to Hachette Australia. Looking forward to this next one in the series.

    I am curious about the Victoria series. Thanks for sharing...and for hosting.

  9. 700 pages - whew! I have such a hard time sticking with really lengthy books, these days; it's got to be something that really holds my attention. I'm so glad that you're enjoying the sunshine, but I'll hope for a little rain for your garden, Kathryn! Hope you have a great week!

  10. Funny to think of you having spring when it is so cold here. :)

  11. It's funny isn't it about the weather - it's rarely perfect. Victoria is on my list of shows to watch. I've heard it's good but have no idea as to the accuracy.

  12. Looks like a great list Kathryn. I'm just finishing up my for pleasure week and getting ready to start reading my February reviews. Ah the fun never stops :)

  14. We are moving into chilly fall as you move into Spring. :)

    I like the cover on FALLING TO PIECES.

    Have a wonderful week, Kathryn.

  15. Sunshine is always nice. Here, the snow has started. It looks pretty, but it always is a shock when the temps drop. I have pics on my Sunday Post if you want to see. I know you enjoy the snow pics :)

    Have a great week! The Karen Rose series sounds good.

  16. I love quiet weeks...weeks with minimal stuff to do...as always your books look interesting.

  17. Sounds like you are having some nice weather - so weird to hear you talking of spring - it was in the 20's here this weekend!

    Lots of variety in your reading - hope you enjoy your books this week!

  18. What a great array of books you got through this week.

  19. I have the first season of Victoria recorded and really need to watch it. What I've seen is wonderful. That's interesting that she was concerned about the potato famine. My family left Ireland towards the end of the famine so I always kind of take it personally! Hope your week has been fantastic!
