It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (Oct. 15, 2018)

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.

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...

We had quite an interesting week.

After gray and gloom Monday and Tuesday, a noreaster blew in on Wednesday with winds about 50 miles per hour. We get less than an inch of rain but lost three trees in our backyard. We're still waiting for a tree service to come and haul them away.

We made the national news because there were very large waves on Lake Superior which flooded a good part of Canal Park (a tourist area right by the ship canal and the Aerial Lift Bridge) and caused even more damage to our already-battered Lakewalk which is a paved path that runs a couple of miles along the lake starting at Canal Park. The Lakewalk was still waiting repairs from two earlier storms including one last October since the damage was in the millions of dollars.

Then, on Thursday morning, we awoke to snow on the grassy areas. Luckily, it all melted away by noon when the sun came out for the first time in quite a while. Friday I ventured out and got my flu shot. My brother had gotten his at work on Thursday.

I'm still watching baseball, but with less interest since my Atlanta Braves have been eliminated. I've also been enjoying The Voice but not watching much television otherwise.
