It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (December 27, 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 quiet week. We had a nice Christmas. I got a couple of Amazon Gift Cards which are always useful. We also had a nice ham dinner and have lots of leftover ham to turn into a variety of recipes this week. 

I finished setting up my February calendar and have done all I can getting posts ready for posting. Now I just have to read the books and write the reviews. I also caught up posting reviews to Amazon for books from my review stack that have now been published. I have a few more to post by the end of the year since the books will be published this week. 

Having finished my January review books, I began reading February's and finished those being released February 1. My plans for next week include reading more February review books and slotting in some audiobooks too. Those might be rereads. I'm really tempted to listen to some books from the Liaden Universe. I also have quite a few audiobooks from Chirp and Audible that are tempting me too.

This looks like it could be a great reading week because we are expecting 9 - 12 inches of snow from Sunday night through most of Monday and then another snowstorm on Tuesday before the temperatures cool off going into the new year. I have no intention of leaving home this week. My brother works until 10 PM tonight and hopes to get home before the snow gets really bad. He starts work late morning tomorrow and will probably have to snow blow the driveway before he goes to work - and then again when he gets home from work. Tuesday is a day off for him -- but the grocery list is getting long!

Want to See What I Added to My Stack Last Week?

• Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman (Kindle) -- Keeper copy of book I reviewed some time ago and prequel to review book on my stack.
• Someone Like You by Susan Mallery (Kindle and Audiobook) -- I made use of a $5 credit for a book by Susan Mallery. This one sounded good and began a series.
