It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (June 17, 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...

We are getting closer to the end of our solar project. The panels are installed as are all the connections. Today will be the City's electrical inspection. Then, the power company installs the new meter and turns us on. I am hoping that will be done by the end of the week. Shortly after that, the power company rebate should arrive to start offsetting the cost of the project. The electricians are still working at setting up our monitoring software. That should be ready when the project goes live.

Weather has been good this week and I have been doing a lot of walking around my neighborhood. I also made it to Curves four days this week. I didn't get there the two days they were installing the solar panels because they were too entertaining.

This week doesn't have too much on my calendar. According to my brother's work schedule, it looks like I'll be cooking at least three times this week. That's fair since he's been doing most of the cooking lately. I'll have to decide if I want to try something new or stick to old favorite recipes.
