It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (June 8, 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...

This was a nice summer week. It has been too warm for the furnace but not warm enough for the air conditioner. It has been nice to have the windows open for the fresh air. We're making and banking a lot of solar power. 

I'm looking forward to a friend coming to visit for a couple of days starting this afternoon. Unfortunately, it looks like she'll be bringing the rain with her which might limit any outdoor activities. 

I was looking at Facebook yesterday and this post from Jayne Ann Krentz surprised me.
I don't think I've ever had an excerpt from any of my reviews picked up and publicized by the author or publisher before. 

I added one review book to my stack this week which continues a series that I've been reading. It is also my first December review copy. I also bought five audiobooks. Looking ahead at my July calendar shows me a lot of review book reading like five next week, three the week after that, five the week after that, and ending July with four more. Since I enjoy audiobooks, I decided to buy the audiobooks for the books that I had already slotted into the calendar to join the Kindle copies I already have. Four of them cost less than I pay for an Audible credit, so I bought them. I did use an Audible credit for the fifth.

With company coming, I don't know how much progress I'll make on reading books on my calendar this week. Luckily, I am at least three weeks ahead and can visit without feeling guilty. She left last visit in the middle of the first book in Anne Bishop's The Others series. I think she'll want to keep listening to those which I don't mind at all since I usually listen to them a couple of times a year anyway.
