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...
Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone in the US! We are kicking off the summer with lovely summer weather. Highs should be in the 70s and lower 80s all weekend. I don't have any plans and my brother works on Memorial Day but it is nice to just relax in the wonderful outdoors.
I didn't read as many books as usual this past week. It seems like everything I chose to read was long. I also took a day out on Tuesday and went up to a local casino for a few hours. I am looking for opportunities to put some miles on my new car and the casino is about a 50 mile round trip. I've had the car for 7 months and haven't put 1000 miles on it yet. I think I've only put gasoline in it twice though it could use some now.

ReplyDeleteDivergent is one of those series that you either can get into or can't. I am glad that a lot of people of giving it a shot. Is Rumour of The Bones, anything like Bones the TV series.

Only occasionally have I put a few thoughts on GR before the full review. Not a bad idea though.
ReplyDeleteYou have plenty of good books to read. I have enjoyed Mary Burton suspense and I loved all of SEP on Audible.
I like the look of Shadow Hunt and may have to take a look at that series.
Get some audios to listen to while driving your car around. LOL
Happy Reading!
Hope you enjoyed your trip to the casino. Your book.list is huge. Enjoy them all.
