It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (May 8, 2023)

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...

We've had a cold rainy week. It is foggy and misty as I'm writing this on Sunday morning. The weather kept me indoors reading and watching baseball from sunnier places. I also had two different doctor's appointments this week. One was really short and gave me an excuse to do some shopping at Walmart on the way home. The second was longer and downtown which made it inconvenient for shopping after since our downtown isn't filled with places to shop. 

I have gotten back into my In Death Rereadathon and am currently listening to book 50 with six more to go before I'm caught up and waiting until September for the next book. I have used Audible Credits, a couple of Audible $10 coupons, and Whispersync from Amazon to get the audiobooks of the rest of the In Death series. I already had the Kindle copies. 

Because I want to catch up, I'm not scheduling in any other audiobooks for the coming week. I am planning to read three titles that I've had since 2009 and 2010. I also have some early June review copies that I want to read. 

I don't know how much I'll be able to read since I have two more doctor's appointments this coming week too. I expect each of the appointments to carve at least two-hour chunks out of my day. I may have a couple of minutes to read in waiting rooms though.
