It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (April 25, 2016)

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is now hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date.

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...

Not much is happening around here right now. The weather is improving and school is keeping me really busy. We are down to less than 30 days left of this school year. I am ready for a break because I'm really tired of correcting papers.

I spent some time this week browsing my TBR mountain and pulling some books I really want to read this summer. I also added some adult reads to my review stack too. Most are from authors I have enjoyed in the past or from a publisher who publishes consistently enjoyable books. I am not in the mood to try something new. I just want old favorites. I set up all my blog posts for June and made a stack of the books that are in physical form. More than half are Kindle books and are already stashed on my Kindle.

Read Last Week
Whirlpool by Elizabeth Lowell was a romantic suspense novel from deep in my TBR pile. I enjoyed it. My review will be posted on May 26.

The Murder of Mary Russell by Laurie R. King was another excellent addition to the long-running Sherlock Holmes/Mary Russell series. My review will be posted on May 25.

Currently
I am currently deep into Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs. This is the latest book in the Mercy Thompson urban fantasy series.

Next Week

It's time to start reading the June 7 and June 14 releases.
Boundary Lines by Melissa F. Olson got added to my reading list because I just received Boundary Born for review. I've read the first in this trilogy and need to read the second before I get to my review book which is the 3rd and final of this trilogy.

To Love a Wolf by Paige Tyler is a review book that is in an urban fantasy series I've been reading since the beginning. It will be released on June 7.
Fan the Flames by Katie Ruggle is a review book. It is the most recent in a romantic suspense series I've been reading from the beginning. It will also be released on June 7.

Written Off by E. J. Copperman is a mystery from Crooked Lane Books. I got this eARC from NetGalley. It will be released on June 14.
