It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (September 16, 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 had a week full of rain and clouds which wouldn't matter usually but I'm super conscious of that kind of day now that we have solar panels on our roof. There were a couple of days when we only made enough power to light a couple of lightbulbs. Our power bill won't be as nice as last month's bill since we produced less than half the power of our weekly average this week.

I had a sort of disturbed reading week this week too. The surprise arrival of a book I requested month's ago on NetGalley had me dropping everything to read it and rearranging my calendar to fit in the review. I ended up reading more than one book at a time because I needed a Kindle read and a print read since Kindle books are a lot more portable than trade paperbacks.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get on track again with my reading this week. I also hope to get out to exercise more often this coming week. A dentist appointment right in the middle of the day on Wednesday and then having to hang around waiting for my house cleaners on Thursday along with pouring rain on Friday kept me home from Curves. However, I did get up to the Mall and walk 5000 steps two days this week.

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.)

• I, Robot: To Preserve by Mickey Zucker Reichert (Mine) - This finishes the prequel to Isaac Asimov's robot books. I enjoyed it. My review will be posted on Oct. 30.
• Ask Me No Questions by Shelley Noble (Mine) - This historical mystery is the first book in a series. The second is on my review stack. My review will be posted on Oct. 19. 

• Wild Country by Anne Bishop (Mine) - I chose this one for a reread because I needed a Kindle book while I was waiting for appointments.
• Archangel's War by Nalini Singh (Review; Sept. 24) - This was a surprise arrival this week months after I requested it at NetGalley. It was another great episode in the Guild Hunters series. My review will be posted on Sept. 24.
