It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (February 9, 2026)

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 had a nice week even though I didn't meet my goal of finishing my February review copies before my friend arrived on Thursday. I did finish four of the six. Once my friend arrived, we switched to audiobooks which we could listen to together while she made red resistance hats and I played computer games. 

We first listened to The Gift of the Magpie by Donna Andrews which I will be reviewing later in February. Then, since she has started reading books by Anne Bishop, we listened to Turns of Fate. I had listened to it before. It was still good to listen to. Then I began Written in Read. She is eager to come visit again soon because we just finished chapter 15 when she had to leave for home. 

I have a quite week coming. There are no appointments on my calendar.
