It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (March 21, 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 was a lovely sunny week with above average temperatures (for Minnesota in March.) 

I began the week by getting my taxes done. As usual, the Feds owe me money and I have to pay the State. Now I'm just watching my bank account to see when the refund lands. 

We called on our Irish heritage in the form of an Irish Great-Grandmother to have corned beef and cabbage. It was supposed to be a crockpot recipe, but I couldn't fit the veggies in. I ended up roasting the potatoes, carrots and cabbage. I also made a horseradish-mustard sauce to go along with the meat. It was really tasty both times we ate it this week. 

Otherwise, I finished listening to The Others series this week. I'm trying to decide if I want to listen to Wild Country or move on to other audiobooks from my stack. I've also been watching baseball again which I really like despite it cutting into audiobook time. 

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.)

• The Alleluia Files by Sharon Shinn (Kindle & Audiobook) -- Reread of a book I read many years ago. This is the third in the Samaria series which combines faith and science fiction. I enjoyed it and will post the review on April 6.
• Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop (Audiobook) -- Reread.
• Marked in Flesh by Anne Bishop (Audiobook) -- Reread.

• If There Be Dragons by Kay Hooper (Mine since 2008) -- Contemporary romance with a paranormal twist. My review will be posted on April 9.
• Miz Scarlet and the Imposing Imposter by Sara M. Barton (Mine) -- Self-published mystery with some problems with pacing. Interesting characters but too much plot for the book. My review will be posted on April 7.
• Etched in Bone by Anne Bishop (Audiobook) -- Reread.

DNF

• The No-Show by Beth O'Leary (Review; April 12) -- I read 20% and felt like nothing was happening. There were three main viewpoint characters that I didn't connect with at all.
