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 was another quiet, gray, gloomy week with off and on snow showers. The County snowplow drivers settled their contract and were back to work on Friday. They only missed a couple of the snow events last week which the substitute drivers handled well - at least on the roads I have to drive.
I did get out on Friday to go to the doctor's office for the blood work I have to have done every three months but otherwise didn't take myself away from home. I made one trip to exercise when my brother went.
I did the usual things around the house. I baked bread, made a new batch of thousand island dressing, and made a big batch of split pea soup. Other than that my week was filled with reading and playing Bejeweled Blitz on my computer.

What was your week like?
The winters sure are long up there! Sounds like you have lots of good books to keep you busy :)
ReplyDeleteYour books look good; I'm curious about Pretty As a Picture.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week.
Ooh nice! I still need to start Johnson's series! And I want to read St. James' book from last year too before I dive into her newest one! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Monday Wrap-up
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is a weird book. I didn’t love everything about it, but I’m very curious about the sequel. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
The Hand on the Wall was so good! I am kind of bummed that it is over. Lol. The Sun Down Motel is on my list. :)
ReplyDeleteSoup and homemade bread is like my favorite ever! I have been thinking about making bread all week, I should do it. :) Have a great week!
I haven't read any of these yet, I know Jenn has read some of the written in Red books and the Maureen Johnson series. I want to read the Sun Down Motel.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading Game by Barry Lyga,Peter Pan, and The Darkest Path by Jeff Hirsch.
Hope it's a great week of reading!

The one thing I don't miss about New York is the winter. It's going to be weird for me not to see any snow this year. Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteIt's been gray here too. I'm ready for spring and a little sun! I need to read the Johnson book.
ReplyDeleteMmm soup :)
A couple of your books are intriguing. I will check them out. Enjoy your reading week.
ReplyDeleteMmm. Split pea soup. I've been meaning to make a pot of it. My weekly update
ReplyDeleteNice! Enjoy your week. Looking forward to seeing what you think of Hank Green, feeling like trying this book myself
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a day off chores as in going out chores today. Just routine stuff at home.
ReplyDeleteLots of Anne Bishop there! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteGreat books on your list. I hope you enjoy Sun Down Motel as much as I did. It is creepy.
ReplyDeleteI’d be terrified to drive in icy conditions so I don’t blame you for staying home.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week, and less snow!
Ugly weather week here too.
ReplyDeleteHope THE SUNDOWN MOTEL got better for you.
Happy Reading Week!!
It was gray and rainy in Texas last week. I didn't feel much like getting out but I made myself and I was glad I did.
ReplyDeleteI will be curious to see what you think of the Hank Green book. I wondered if it got a lot of press because of Green's famous brother.
I would imagine it's lovely to be snowed inside with a book and a blanket. We haven't had any snow in Alabama this season but it has been cold and yucky, which also makes for good reading weather. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like everyone is reading The Sun Down Motel.
