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...
I picked up my new car on Monday which was just in time. Starting Thursday night and lasting through Friday, Duluth picked up 10.2 inches of snow and had 60 mph wind gusts. This beats a record for October snowfall set in 1939 and is about three weeks earlier than last year's first snow. As I am writing this on Saturday afternoon, it is snowing lightly again. More snow is forecast for Sunday into Monday and Wednesday and Thursday too. Luckily, I don't have to drive anywhere but am comforted to know that I could. A few short trips have put about 30 miles on the odometer of my new car.
I spent the week watching baseball and will continue to watch until the World Series is decided. Go Astros!
I also spent some time this week adding new review books to my stack and my calendar. I had thought that I had no YA books to read until January but added a couple that ended up being READ NOW picks since they are both Nov. 7 releases. I also added a few that will be released in 2018.
This was also a week when I took advantage of Kindle deals for books that I had seen on other people's blogs and been curious about. My To Read list of books I currently have in Kindle or print has ballooned to 2021 titles.

ReplyDeleteI have quite a few of the same books on my TBR! I have yet to get an accurate count of mine, I'm really afraid to find out, LOL. But I have books stacked everywhere, I really need a bookcase. Congratulations on your new car and good luck to your Astros! Happy Halloween and happy reading!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of snow! It will be on its way to my area soon. Congrats on the new car. I am cheering for the Astros too.

That was good timing. We got about 9 inches of rain, glad it wasn't snow.
