It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (May 20, 2019)

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.

Other Than Reading...

This week we played host to the roofers who got to work pounding and stamping around on my roof at 8 AM Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. This would be okay if I didn't think that midnight was an early time to go to bed. So I was a little sleep deprived all week.

I'm told that we are in the "permitting phase" for our solar project which could take a couple more weeks before the "install" phase begins. I am excited to carry on with this project and hope it happens soon.

Otherwise, the weather was good although we are looking at a cool and rainy weekend where the temperatures hover in the low 40s. It should allow for a lot of nice reading time. I am nearly finished filling all the reviews on my June calendar and have to start to think about what I'll be reading next for posts in July. I have 12 slots to fill after the review books are slotted in. I'll probably divide them up like this month with some from recent purchases and some that have been lingering on TBR mountain for a while.

Read Last Week

If you can't wait until the review shows up on my blog, reviews are posted to LibraryThing and Goodreads as soon as I write them (usually right after I finish reading a book.)

• Etched in Bone by Anne Bishop (mine) - This was a re-read for the umteenth time. I just love this series. 
• Shadow of the Fox by Julia Kagawa (mine) - I combined reading and listening to this one and enjoyed this fantasy based on Japanese mythology. My review will be posted on June 11.
• Straight by Dick Francis (mine) - Dick Francis is one of my all-time favorite mystery authors. Straight is one of my favorites of all his books. I recently got a Kindle copy and, since I'm trying to read what I buy, I chose to re-read this one. My review will be posted on June 15. 

• Shoot to Thrill by P. J. Tracy (mine) - Entertaining entry in the Monkeewrench series. My review will be posted on June 16.
• The Leopard King by Ann Aguirre (mine) - An entertaining and spicy paranormal romance. My review will be posted on June 13.
• Shout of Honor by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller (mine) - This is the latest novella in the Liaden Universe series. I won't be reviewing it but it was an excellent story.

• Wherever She Goes by Kelley Armstrong (Review) - This was a fast-paced thriller by one of my favorite authors. My review will be posted on June 18.
• Off the Grid by P. J. Tracy (mine) - Another great entry in the Monkeewrench series. My review will be posted on June 23.

• The Sixth Idea by P. J. Tracy (mine) - Monkeewrench #7 was filled with fast-paced action. My review will be posted on June 30.
• A Spell of Trouble by Leighann Dobbs (mine) - This paranormal mystery begins a self-published series and was a fun story. My review will be posted on June 19.

DNF

• I read 37% of Girl in the Rearview Mirror by Kelsey Rae Dimberg before I set it aside. I kept waiting for something mysterious or suspenseful to happen and kept being disappointed.
