It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (May 14, 2018)

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.

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 had typical Spring weather in Duluth this week. Monday was 83 degrees at my house but 48 degrees two miles away down by the lake. The rest of the week struggled to reach 50 degrees. I did get out and walk three times. 

Otherwise it was a quiet week of reading mostly review books, watching baseball, and playing computer games. I did catch up posting my reviews at Amazon. The books I plan to read next week are evenly divided between my review stack and my TBR pile.
