It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (May 19, 2025)

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.

Other Than Reading...

From a high of 87 last Sunday to a high of 54 on Saturday, our temperatures have been on a downward trend. Right now (Sunday morning), it is 40 with rain and fog. Temperatures will be gradually getting warmer with a high of 64 expected for next Friday. This past weekend brought thunderstorms and rain but not very much rain. With wildfires in the area, we could use more rain which is not expected this week. We are expecting breezy winds which won't be good for ending the fires. 

My two appointments this past week went well. I'm still waiting for the results of the mammogram which should come early next week. This week I'll be heading back to the clinic for my bi-monthly blood work. That's the only appointment on next week's schedule. 

Otherwise, this past week was a quiet one with lots of time for reading and listening. Next week should be the same. The Voice is coming to an end which means the only thing I'll be consistently watching on television is baseball - Braves baseball. My team isn't doing very well this year. They're hovering around 500 but expecting two of their superstars to return to the lineup soon.

  1. Glad your appointments went well! We've been having storms again this past week and likely again overnight tonight. Hopefully they won't be super bad since I can sometimes sleep pretty hard when I'm super tired and I'm super tired again tonight.

    Nice lineup of reads! Pretty many are new to me ones except for Kelley Armstrong's but I'm once again behind in that series! I think I have 2 books to read still...or maybe just last year's...it's hard to keep track how far behind I am in all of her series! Lol.

    Hope you enjoy your reads for this week!


    Here's my Monday Warp-up

  2. Sorry to hear you have wildfires in the area! I hope you get more rain. We're supposed to get a LOT here on the East Coast this week. And I thought our temperature changes lately were wild! It was 75 yesterday and supposed to get to only 55 on Wednesday.
    Looks like a fun variety in your reading lately.
    I hope you enjoy your books this week and get more rain!
