It’s Monday! What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.
Other Than Reading...
We waved off the elementary students as they started their summer vacation on Friday. Now I just have to do grades for kindergarten students and my first and second graders. Only eight days left for my middle school/high school students and then summer vacation starts for all of us. I am more than ready!
Last week I had a chance to catch up with a friend I don't see very often and heard all about the plans for her daughter's wedding. It was good to catch up. I won't see her again until she comes to visit me at my summer home in August.
Read Last Week
I read Empire of Night by Kelley Armstrong which is the second book in her Age of Legends fantasy series. It suffers from "middle book in a trilogy" syndrome in that, while lots of adventures take place, no resolution is found for any of the plot threads. My review will be posted on June 13.
Finally, I read First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones which has been sitting on my TBR mountain since 2012. It was a fun urban fantasy and I'm glad I have the next five books in the series on my Kindle as the result of a recent Kindle Daily Deal. My review will be posted on June 20.

Nice mailbox, nice week.
ReplyDeleteENJOY your summer. I see you noted on my blog that you were ending your 39th year of teaching. I only made it to 34 years. :)
Have a great end of the year, and a wonderful, relaxing summer, but do teachers ever relax in the summer? Nope...we are always preparing, right?

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
I've only read one of Julie Kagawa's books. So many people really seem to love her work. I want to read more of her books. My TBR pile is so enormous though. Maybe I will get to them this summer.
ReplyDeleteGreat week, Enjoy your summer!!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly teach a wide age range, I am sure it must be great to be winding up the year. Enjoy those books, they look good.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading week Kathy :-)
ReplyDeleteCheers,

I am sure you will devour the Charley Davidson series this summer. Have a great week.
ReplyDeletethe countdown til holidays is on ...
ReplyDeleteI have the Charley Davidson series on my kindle too, I just have to make a start. Have a great week and happy reading :)
I wasn't all that impressed with Talon so I gave Rogue a miss, but I do love the Darynda Jones series.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
