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.
I will be combining my YA and adult reading and purchases on this one weekly roundup. YA and middle grade reviews will still be posted on Ms. Martin Teaches Media - my other blog.
Other Than Reading...
This has been another week of hurry up and wait. The windows were repaired on Monday when we finally had a day without rain. I'm still waiting for bids to repair the landscaping and have another company coming to give a bid on Tuesday. The contractor and plumber have promised to come on Monday to do their needed fixes. The painters are doing their final touches around the rain storms. The Locust Street house should go on the market this week. My townhouse will be advertised extensively this weekend and an open house is planned for Tuesday. Hopefully things are moving in the right direction with both those houses.
I have managed to get a little ahead on my reading but it is in exchange to an almost empty week on my blogs coming up the week of the 17th. Rainy weather gave me lots of reading time this last week and all but one of the books I read were engaging and fast-paced.

ReplyDeleteI hope all the jobs around the houses get done and you get successful with the open days as well. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteWow, your post-retirement life is very busy, but you'll have time to deal with it all. Of course, the rain is an annoying interference. I remember that it took three months to paint my last house because of rains.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I am really looking forward to The Danger Gang review! Third Daughter is cover goals btw! (another book to add to my ever growing TBR pile) Thanks for stopping by!

Good luck with getting your work down. It can be difficult dealing with contractors . Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping all the little chores will get done and the old place will sell quickly.
ReplyDeleteI see that you are really getting a lot of reading and reviews done now that you are retired!
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the K-9 thriller, Hunting Hour. Might try to look it up. Happy reading week!
ReplyDeleteA Wedding Tail looks good.Hope your sales go well.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a lot of rainy weather, too. It has definitely helped me read more this summer.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all the progress with your move. Great selection of books. Thanks for stopping by earlier.
ReplyDeleteHope the work items get done around the rain. We have just started thinking about downsizing to a smaller house and looking around is daunting.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many interesting looking books. Thea Harrison sounded so familiar. I searched and discovered I have Dragon Bound on my Audible shelf.
I hope this week is good for you. Happy Reading!
