It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (September 16, 2024)

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.

Other Than Reading...

I didn't do much this week. I'm still getting over whatever crud has been keeping me feeling sub par. I did decide to listen to some audiobooks from my collection. I've been spending my time on Harmony listening to paranormal science fiction romances by Jayne Castle (a pseudonym for Jayne Ann Krentz). It has been fun revisiting these stories. 

I didn't finish my October review copies but am carrying them over to this week. I do have 34 scheduled posts so there isn't any pressure to get them read immediately. I did slip in The Book Swap by Tessa Bickers which I just got from NetGalley. It was released on September 3, but I didn't get it until September 10. My review will be posted later today. 

Also in my reading plans for the week are two books I bought right after I bought my first Kindle. Divine by Choice and Smash Cut have been lingering on my Kindles over the years since 2009.

My calendar is empty of appointments this week. I should have lots of time to read and listen. I'm still watching my Atlanta Braves and, right now, their playoff bid is in danger. Their season might end on September 29.
