It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (October 28, 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...

This was another excellent fall week. Temperatures were pleasant. Most of the fall colors are gone here and the trees are looking a little bare. 

I had a great reading and listening week since I had to wait until Friday for more baseball games. The World Series has been exciting so far and I like that the Dodgers have a two-game lead. I'll be having a quiet Sunday as my Vikings played football last Thursday night and the next World Series game isn't until Monday night. Maybe I'll be able to finish my current audiobook while setting up posts for December on my blog. 

I've decided that December is going to be "read what you got in 2024" month and filled my calendar with (relatively) recent arrivals. Since as of today, I still have 147 unread 2024 titles, this seemed like a way to lower the TBR stack some. Of course, I have 2501 books in my To Read collection at LibraryThing some dating back to 2009, so I won't be making much of a dent. But a dent is a dent.

I'm looking forward to trick or treaters this week since Halloween is just around the corner. I also have an appointment for a blood draw later in the week. And I have all the end of the month things to do for my blog. 

My brother and I just did some meal planning for the week. We have today, Monday and Tuesday's dinners figured out. Then I'm on my own for dinners until his next day off on Saturday. There should be leftovers from our already planned meals unless I decide to get creative.
