It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (June 20, 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...

I still haven't turned on the air conditioning. The heat we were supposed to have last week was kept at bay due to winds off "the world's biggest air conditioner" otherwise known as Lake Superior. A standard phrase as a part of our local weather forecasts is "cooler by the lake." I think we got to 75 degrees F (24 degrees C) very briefly one day. Otherwise, temperatures were in the 60s (15-20 degrees C). We may not be as lucky this coming week. 90s (32 degrees C or higher) are being forecast. 

I finally gave in and went to Urgent Care about my long-lasting cough. I came home with a tentative diagnosis of bronchitis and prescriptions for antibiotics, strong cough drops, an inhaler, and Flonase. I also got instructions to come in again if I'm not better in a week to ten days. I guess they weren't happy that I let this linger for a few months.

My brother will be off work this week since he was encouraged to use some of his banked vacation days. He doesn't have any plans, but I hope he'll try out a couple of new recipes. In addition to rest and taking prescribed drugs, my plans include the usual reading, listening, and watching Braves baseball.
