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...
How can it be the end of August already? Of course, with every day so much the same because of the pandemic, it is hard to really note the passage of time. This was another quiet week. A couple of grocery store trips and chauffeuring my brother to an eye doctor appointment were all my excitement. Rainy weather kept me indoors most of the week but I did get a short walk or two.
Our power bill arrived and was another one with no payment due. We even managed to add a couple of dollars to our credit column. The cloudy, rainy days have kept us from making very much power this week though.
I finally finished listening to all of the Honor Harrington series this week. I turned to my old favorite series - The Others by Anne Bishop - to listen to while I play games and walk. I do have a couple of new audiobooks that I haven't heard but I chose old favorites instead so that I can concentrate on lowering the Review stack. I have quite a few September releases to read soon.
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.)
- Uncompromising Honor by David Weber (Mine; Audiobook) - This 30 hour audiobook brings the Honor Harrington saga to a conclusion. However, lots of dangling plot threads could lead to lots more stories in the world. My review will be posted on January 6, 2021.
- Murder at Hotel 1911 by Audrey Keown (Review; Sept. 8) - An amateur sleuth with anxiety issues and works at a vintage hotel investigates to save her friend, the Chef, from being convicted of negligence when one of the guests dies from an allergic reaction. My review was posted on August 29.
