It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (September 20, 2021)

 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 wayThis  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...

It is really starting to feel like Fall here in Northern Minnesota. Nights are cool and the day warm up nicely. Sometimes, like today, the air conditioner is on since the outdoor temperature is 82 degrees F. Looking out my patio door shows me a maple that has turned completely red but otherwise all the trees are still full of green leaves. 

This was a great week for reading. I managed to remove a few from TBR mountain. Others, I tried and put back on the shelf. They didn't catch my attention. As I'm looking at the shelves, I see several that I will likely never read. I should start some new bags of books to move out of my house, but I just got rid of the last bags and like the way the rooms look without them. 

This has been a disappointing week for my baseball viewing. My Braves have begun a prolonged losing streak. They've dropped from being 5.5 games up to just one up as today's games begin. They are on a West Coast road trip which means the games don't begin until late in the evening in my time zone. I like staying up late but it makes for a long day when games don't finish until after midnight. 

This week should see the return of The Voice. I'm eager for the new season to begin since it is almost the only thing I watch on television besides baseball. 

I have an eye doctor's appointment early on Tuesday and hope to get my flu shot while I'm at the Clinic. That will remove two things from my to-do list.
