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...
Fall weather has really encouraged me to walk. I managed 10,000 steps most days this week. I also managed to take naps many days after school. I'm having a little bit of trouble adjusting to getting up at 5:30 AM so that I don't have to rush to get ready for school. Since I am decidedly not a morning person, this has been something of a strain.
I do like having my afternoons free this semester. I enjoy being able to fit in appointments without being the last one of the day for my doctor and dentist. This week I have my eye exam scheduled and am eager to pick out some new glasses. My current ones are getting rather scratched.
Read Last Week
Follow Me by Tiffany Snow was a contemporary thriller with a unique main character. She is a computer genius who is also has OCD. It was a nicely twisty story. My review will be posted on October 5.
IQ by Joe Ide was a thriller set in East LA and starred the ghetto version of Sherlock Holmes. Isaiah is quite bright but allowed the hit-and-run death of his older brother to sidetrack him from any plans to escape his environment. He is determined to find the driver of the car that hit his brother and solves problems for people in the area to make ends meet while he searches. My review will be posted on Oct. 13.

You are doing what I should be doing...transitioning. It could be my last year as a librarian and yet I'm still working like it's my first year. You are wise.
ReplyDeleteAAAH - I always love picking out new frames. It's such an important decision. You have to wear it EVERYDAY EVERYWHERE! Good luck! I am interested in Death among Rubies and will be looking out for your review. Also IQ? Seems nice! Happy week Kathy and here's my Sunday Headlines: http://marelithalkink.blogspot.co.za/2016/09/the-sunday-headlines-2-missing-mind.html
ReplyDeleteInteresting batch of books. I used to blog nearly exclusively about mysteries and thrillers but moved away from that into more general book blogging, but I still like to read them. I will be looking forward to your reviews of these books.
ReplyDeleteFollow Me sounds good...and I enjoy Dee Ernst, so Stealing Jason Wilde looks good to me. Enjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
ReplyDeleteAn interesting group of books this week! I've been making more of an effort to get all the steps in, too. Fall seems like the perfect time for a new routine.

Oh, I'm so jealous of your fall weather! I took a walk around 9:30 this morning and came back drenched in sweat. I do plan to put out my fall decorations this week, so that'll at least make the INSIDE of the house feel fall-ish! ;) I don't envy you getting up so early... I'm not sure I could do it. I struggle to get up anytime before 7:30 for work!
ReplyDeleteyour i'm not a morning person is soo the description of me! lol! its a struggle when the alarm goes off at 4:45 and yeah - uber jealous of your fall weather - it was still high 80's here this past weekend
ReplyDeleteI like your variety of books this week. I am NOT a morning person either, but do enjoy the extra time when I do pull myself out of bed.
ReplyDeleteI'd love some cold cold weather here. I am always jealous when I see pictures of fall and winter!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books and have a good week.
What a great selection of books this week, across a number of genres which is good! Stalking Ground catches my eye.
