It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (Feb. 22, 2021)

 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... 

This was a fun week of rereading and listening to some of a favorite author's backlist since it was too cold to go out and do anything. I decided I wanted to continue the futuristic romance series I began last week. So I added a bunch of them to my Audible library. Then I found out about a Valentine's Day special at Audible and got quite a few audiobooks for $5 each. In some cases, I already had the Kindle. In a few, I will just have the audiobook. I have lots of listening ahead of me even though I've already consumed six of my new titles.

I had my annual mammogram this week and am good now for another year. I also had a Covid-19 test in preparation for this coming week's colonoscopy. I chose the saliva test since I wasn't eager to have a swab stuck up my nose! I hope I find out the results before I get too deep into the colonoscopy prep since I don't want to have to reschedule and go through all the prep again. 

Since I was out and about, I got my first haircut since Feb. 22, 2020. It's nice to have less hair to get in my way. I went to a new hairdresser and let her choose what she thought would work for my fine hair. I think I'll go back to Great Clips when I need it cut again since I can go there three times for the same cost as one visit to the new hairdresser. 

I also have my annual wellness visit with my Primary Care doctor this week and have to chauffeur my brother to a follow-up eye doctor's appointment. Luckily, our cold snap is over and temperatures are more normal for this time of the year. I will be eager for the week to be over though since I'm not a big fan of all this hustle and bustle.
