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...
Other Than Reading...
There hasn't been much except for reading this week. I'm working on a Review book that isn't holding my attention but that I will finish one day. After reading a chapter or two of it, I give myself a break by reading something I really want to read.
I do have some of my October Review books that I should be reading since I have 15 of them. But I also got the next two Kris Longknife stories for my Kindle this week that I really want to read. These are the two, that in paperback, have been on my TBR stack since 2008.
This coming week should be quiet too. I plan to do my monthly State of the Stack post which keeps me current on my review books. New ones. Ones I've read. And ones coming up on my reading stack. It would be embarrassing if one of my review books fell through the cracks and was overlooked. Of course, when I get one, I add it to LibraryThing, a Google spreadsheet, my Google calendar, and save it to a collection on Amazon. Forgetting to read one on time is more a recurring nightmare than a real possibility.

ReplyDeleteYou have some tempting titles. I haven't read a Janet Evanovich book in a long while. Maybe it's time!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're getting so much reading done. With 15 books for October you will need to stay on track. I was looking at Because I Could Not Stop for Death. I look forward to reading your thoughts once you finally finish it. The Silent Witness also looks good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and for visiting my blog.
I usually like Amanda Flower. I will have to look that one up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the new Janet Evanovich. A lot of people love her writing.
ReplyDeleteI knew you had a good system for reading.
I'm so backlogged on review copies, it IS a nightmare! It's a good feeling to get to something that's been languishing on your shelf since 2008, I bet! The Pillars of the Earth was like that for me, although I didn't own a copy until recently. (I had always thought I'd listen to the audiobook.) Thank you for visiting my blog today!
ReplyDeleteOOh nice! I still need to pick this mystery/thriller up of Kelley's! I am so behind on her other non-series books! Hope you enjoy your reads lined up for this week!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Monday Wrap-up
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
It really is difficult to keep up with my reviewing schedule too. I'm finally making some headway. Your books all look so good, especially the cozies. I hope you enjoy them. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteQuiet weeks are nice, even if the review book is taking some time. And yeah that it's not a real possibility of a review book slipping through the cracks. Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
ReplyDelete15 review books due in one month would probably stress me. I plan to check the Kris Longknife series. So much good reading for you. Of course I like the cozies and the Regan books look good too. Have a good week and Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're enjoying the Kris Longkniofe series. I'm looking forward to the new Mur Lafferty as well.
ReplyDeleteI have always been impressed by how efficiently you manage your reading life. This year I am taking a break from a set schedule and trying for more serendipity in my book choices.
