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.
I will be combining my YA and adult reading and purchases on this one weekly roundup. YA and middle grade reviews will still be posted on Ms. Martin Teaches Media - my other blog.
Other Than Reading...
The past week was another bitter cold one. However, we didn't get the snow that the East Coast and the South did. Next week is supposed to have a warm up. Of course for January in northern Minnesota, that means that we will have temperatures in the 20s above zero Fahrenheit. I'll take it. I am starting to feel a little house-bound. I also have a doctor's appointment this week that will give me a chance to meet my new gastroenterologist.
The cold weather has given me lots of time to hunker down and read. I took advantage. Of course, I also added way too many to my TBR stack because I couldn't pass up the Amazon deals.

Wow that's a lot books well done!
ReplyDeleteYes, perfect weather for reading (or buying books). I want to read that Holly Black.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded Promise Not To Tell this week...and I'm curious about The Summer of Broken Things.
ReplyDeleteWe've had some fairly cold nights and balmy days (66 degrees).
Enjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Wow! So many books! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo many good books. Most of them are new to me. Enjoy your reading.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of books. My reading has gone into a slump- I am trying to catch up on the reviews at least.
ReplyDeleteOOoh nice!! I just stared reading The Sweetest Kind of Fate! Already at the heartbroken stage of things! Lol! Should be able to finish it up tomorrow! Hope you enjoy this week's queue!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Monday Wrap-up
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
The one advantage of extremely cold temps is that you don't tend to get any snow. We just went through that ourselves, with two weeks of -40, but now it's warmed up enough to where we are getting snow. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteWe had both frigid weather and a ton of snow. I much prefer summer to winter. Great list of books...I have a few of them on my TBR. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about all the cold weather is more time to stay indoors and read. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteYes, last week was great for reading. We had a warm up too! Lots of goodies this week. Looking forward to Promise Not To Tell. Enjoyed a few of these books. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThe Cat of Baskervilles sounds good, I like anything with a cat :) We had -21 Saturday night, but it is warmer this week :)
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing The Cruel Prince everywhere. I hope you love your new books. Bitterly cold here and lots of snow!
ReplyDeleteYes a warm up in the upper Midwest is relative, isn't it? Although it hit almost 40 today and felt downright balmy!
ReplyDeleteDeath & the Viking's Daughter looks cute. And The Turncoat's Gambit does too.
Books are the only way I could survive if I lived where you live. I suppose I’d have to at least purchase a coat.
ReplyDeleteI do imagine you live in perfect reading weather.

Reading is a great way to deal with this super cold weather! We warmed up to 35 degrees today, I was waltzing around outside in just a heavy sweatshirt since it felt super warm out. Lol.
ReplyDeleteThe Holly Black book looks good!
I haven't read a Jayne Ann Krentz book in ages. This one looks good. Have a wonderful, and warm, weekend. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you put Heart on Fire and Wild Card on your TBR pile, I read them, and they were so freaking fantastic! Hope you enjoy them! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
