It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (Dec. 31, 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.

Other Than Reading...

Our lightly snow covered ground turned into a real "White Christmas" when we received 13.1 inches of snow on Dec. 26 and Dec. 27. This is Saturday afternoon and I still haven't ventured out of the house. It was warm enough when the snow began that it created slush on the roads which froze when the temperatures dropped making many streets bumpy and icy.

Curves was closed for two days so I didn't get out and exercise. I'll try to get there on Monday if the roads have cleared up more. I do have my trusty treadmill in the basement if I feel a need to exercise.

It is hard to believe that it is almost 2019. Since this is just Saturday, I'll wait until next week to sum up all of my reading and reviewing for the year. I'll probably finish a book or two before the year ends. Monday I'll be writing my final State of the Stack post which will sum up my reviewing.

Read Last Week

If you can't wait until the review shows up on my blog, reviews are posted to LibraryThing and Goodreads as soon as I write them (usually right after I finish reading a book.)

• Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee (Jan. 15) - This was a YA science fiction/fantasy based on Korean mythology. My review will be posted on Jan. 15.
• Wild Embrace by Nalini Singh (Mine) - I was looking for a novella to read from my TBR mountain. I couldn't stop at just one and finished this group of four Psy-Changeling stories. I reviewed this one on LibraryThing and Goodreads.
• The Burning Island by Hester Young (Feb. 12) - This was a mystery about a woman who is a psychic who connects with missing and endangered children and wishes she didn't. My review will be posted on Jan. 16 since it was initially a Jan. 22 release and I don't have room on my calendar to move it closer to its release date.

• Circle of Shadows by Evelyn Skye (Jan. 22) - This one begins a new epic fantasy YA series with faint hints of Japan along with the magic. My review will be posted on Jan. 17.
• Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch - This is the second Peter Grant police procedural/urban fantasy mystery. My review will be posted on Jan. 22.
• The Storm Keeper's Island by Catherine Doyle (Jan. 22) - This is an excellent middle grade fantasy that brought me to tears in a couple of places. My review will be posted on Jan. 19.

Currently

One Tough Cowboy by Lora Leigh & Veronica Chadwick (Jan. 29) begins a new romantic suspense series.
