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 just sped by. I didn't do anything except take a couple of walks. I watched a little of the Home Run Derby and all of the All-Star Game but really missed seeing my Braves play. I'm glad the regular season of baseball has begun again.
I did get a haircut and walk around the Mall a little bit on Thursday. It is always interesting to see what new stores have opened and which ones have closed. There are lots of vacant spaces at our local Mall. I don't get there often. I've been avoiding places where people congregate for so long that I have gotten out of the habit of walking there.

Review:
- Miss Moriarty, I Presume? by Sherry Thomas (November 2)
Bought:
- Derelict edited by David B, Coe & Joshua Palmetier (Kindle) - I've already read the story by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller which is the reason I bought the anthology. I'll be dipping into this one for the others someday, I'm sure.
- Enola Holmes and the Boy in Buttons by Nancy Springer (Kindle Daily Deal and Audiobook)
I finally got a haircut a couple of weeks ago. It had been 18 months! I haven't been to the mall in ages.
ReplyDeleteTempting books! Someday I hope to read something by Amanda Quick, as I love her "alter" Jayne Ann Krentz.
ReplyDeleteHere are my WEEKLY UPDATES
Your books look so good. I hope you enjoy them and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI've noticed a lot of vacant stores now that I'm venturing out for in-person shopping. Unfortunately many places didn't survive the pandemic. Hope you're enjoying your current reads!
ReplyDeleteI went to an indoor mall for the first time in a couple of years while we were visiting my parents... all the people made me nervous. It was disappointing to see how many of the store had closed, including my favorite anchor Lord & Taylor. Several store have moved to outdoor strip malls in the suburbs, too. Not sure when I'll be going back...
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week!
I only went to an indoor mall when I had to visit the Apple store. I really wanted to stop into the bookstore, but I was hesitant. It still seems too early for me to be out. Lots of our favorite places in our town---the movie theater, the frozen yogurt place, a pizza place---did not survive the pandemic.
ReplyDeleteAll Night Long with a Cowboy...a librarian main character? Really?!
Ooh nice! Hope you enjoy your reads lined up for this week!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Monday Wrap-up
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
The whole year is speeding by too quickly. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSad to think how many businesses have closed the past year although I have always wondered how small shops can afford mall space.
Striking Range makes me want to listen to another Timber Creek K-9 mystery. Thanks for the nudge.
Happy Reading!
Glad you got to watch some baseball. :)
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome Huber cover.
I know the feeling about the days going by. I find it so hard to believe that July is over half gone. We are cautious about getting about, though there are no restrictions because the Delta variant is around and no one wants to catch that.
ReplyDeleteI too am looking forward to the Huber book.
I haven't been to the mall in a long time! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYeah, some weeks just fly by! And yeah that the audiobook of A Bad Day for Sunshine was good! And I just want to read Miss Moriarty, I Presume? so badly! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
