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.
Other Than Reading...
Snow returned this week. This is Saturday noon and I haven't heard yet whether we broke the February record. It snowed on Wednesday which brought to half an inch below the record. It snowed again last night but I haven't heard an amount yet. It is also supposed to snow again tonight.
I did get to Curves on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday this week. Otherwise, I've been hanging out at home reading. Later this afternoon I'll be able to watch my first Spring Training baseball games. Baseball on TV is what I do from now until the World Series is over in October.
A local church sold pasties this week. That's what we are eating today before my brother goes off to work at 4:30 today. He's hoping the new snow doesn't start until he gets home. I'm hoping that the new snow stays well south of us since it is supposed to be a rather nasty storm with lots of snow and strong winds. We are still predicted to get the winds. Even with no new snow, the loose snow can blow around and make some pretty spectacular drifts.

Looks like you got some great reading in. I am anxious to read The Devouring Gray. Hope you didn't get too much snow!
ReplyDeleteI love winter, but even I am sick of snow and cold and ice these days. Bring on spring! I hope you didn't too much more.
ReplyDeleteSherwood looks good! And pasties - you reminded me that there a pastie shop down the road from us I have been meaning to try!
Stay warm and read books! Have a great week.
Ooh nicely done!! I was kind of underwhelmed with Sherwood, but I guess I owe that to the fact I don't know much about Robin Hood either. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI cann't wait to make time for The Devouring Grey! Been seeing that one a lot and am happy to have a copy...I just can't say if I will get to it before its release. I might. Fingers crossed anyways! Lol!
Happy Reading!
Here's my Monday Wrap-up
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
oooh, I haven't read ANY of these yet! Always fun to find out about new books :)
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned on my blog that you've never read Barbara Kingsolver! Start with either The Poisonwood Bible or The Bean Trees - two of her earliest novels...and her best! They are both on my mental list of top 10 novels of ALL-TIME.
Hope you get a break from all that snow!!

Book By Book
You read such a nice variety of genres. I need to get back to the Morgan Dane series. Hoping you don't beat February's snow total record! LOL
ReplyDeleteSecrets Never Die looks very good. Enjoy! Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI just picked up my copy of We Set the Dark on Fire. My weekly update
ReplyDeleteI love baseball too. I'm very happy the season is almost ready to begin. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'm really curious about Sherwood. A female version of Robin Hood? YES! And An Artless Demise caught my eye too. You read such fun books!
ReplyDeleteI am SO over the snow! Nice to see you had a big reading week.
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't know how you do it with so much snow! I'd need to have some sort of warming bubble to get me from place to place. A cozy fire in every room. Wow.
ReplyDeleteBut it would be a great place to snuggle up and read! And you have certainly done that.
I really liked Geekerella and I just got a notification that Connections in Death is in for me at the library!
ReplyDeleteGrant's is catching my eye. That's unreal on the snow. We've had rain like that but I don't think a record or anything. Hope yall dry out this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a variety of covers here. I admire how you share a house with your brother and get along. The pasties sound really good. I really like how the Hannah Swensen series has baking in it and doesn't skimp on it.
