It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (January 10, 2022)

 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...

This has been a typical Minnesota winter week. We had some snow and some really cold weather. My car now has a battery saver but I haven't taken it out of the garage yet. I had a prescription to pick up but my brother drove me, and we did some grocery shopping while we were out.

This week's plans include making a batch of Split Pea Soup. Otherwise, my schedule is wide open and I'm content to stay home and read. 

I got an email with my annual statistics from Audible and was surprised that I added 225 titles in 2021. 

Also...

This year looks like it will be another big year for audiobooks since I'm already listening to my fifth of 2022.
