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...
We began the week by beating the record snowfall for April 16 by getting 13.4 inches of snow but temperatures have warmed up as the week went on and the new snow is gone as is a good part of the snow that was still on the ground. This is Saturday and temperatures near 60 are expected which should melt more. The five day forecast is showing 50s and even 60s for highs which should melt most of the remaining snow. I am quite ready to be finished with snow for the season.
I attended my second yoga class this week and decided this wasn't the right thing for me. For the second week in a row, I left the class with a screaming headache. I talked to the instructor who wasn't concerned, suggesting drinking water and taking a hot shower, but I don't like being in pain. Now that the weather is better, I can go out for walks instead.
I took a break from my review calendar this week by reading the whole Lady Julia Grey mystery series but it is back to reading review books this week. I have finished my May releases and am beginning the June releases on my stack. I have 6 June 5 releases. I will also be able to get a couple of TBR mountain books off my stack because I don't have any adult review books until June 12 releases.

Wow, you read a lot of books! Enjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
ReplyDeleteYou really did read a LOT last week. Wow. I'm looking forward to the Preston Norton book too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you've seen the last of the snow! I'm really curious about the Deanna Raybourn books. They appeal to me. Have a great reading week.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a reading week! Sorry to hear about your yoga experience... I've never tried it, but would like to.
ReplyDeleteI will be curious what you think of the cursed child. Are you a big Harry Potter fan?
ReplyDeleteSorry that the yoga instructor wasn't more helpful in figuring out what caused the headaches. Loved the Lady Julia series! Hope your weather is improving daily.
ReplyDeleteI will be happy to not see any more snow for... oh seven months or so should do it ha ! The Raybourn books look quite good!
ReplyDeleteOoh nice! I plan to read Aftermath shortly! Just have 2 more books I really want to get read before the signing next week, so I'll read it after them! Hope you enjoy your reads for this week!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Monday Wrap-up
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Kathy thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm adding Kelley Armstrong book to my TBR and have been so interested in Harry Potter and the cursed child. Looking forward to your review.
So much snow for April. I hope it's over for this year.
ReplyDeleteNice collection of books. Enjoy and have a great week!
It's gotten hot here. Already I miss the rain. Come see what I'm reading
ReplyDeleteWow, that’s a lot of snow. It snows here at night, but it’s all melted by the afternoon. I hope you enjoy your new books. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Wow! I am so impressed that you're already done with May releases and are on to June. I've only read one May release and just yesterday realized that I still have an April ARC that I forgot to read!
ReplyDeleteStu king Raybourn collection. Love this author. All her collections!
ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteBoo snow! And boo headaches! But the Lady Julia Grey series is so great! Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI’ve never heard of anyone who got a headache from yoga! Oh dear. It is not the activity for you!
ReplyDeleteSo many books!!! The Deanna Raybourn books look awesome, I love those covers. And I am definitely adding How We Roll to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteAw, that stinks about the headaches after yoga. I hate having horrible headaches. :(
So much snow! Winter really does need to let go this year. lol Yoga wasn't for me either. Hope you enjoy your walks once it's warm (and dry) enough :)
ReplyDeleteIt feels good to have little break from reading review copies doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI went for yoga once and felt soooooo much like a noobie there (that was my first ever yoga lesson) and the instructor kept signalling me out asking me to relax in a full class of student. I was so stressed out. Naturally, I didn't attend the class again. I didn't feel great after that too... so you're not the only one. Have a great week ahead!
