It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (September 22, 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...

This was another quiet Fall week. We had rollercoaster temperatures with a high of 85 on Tuesday and a high of 56 on Friday. Consequently, both the furnace and the air conditioner were used this week. We also had some rain and fog later in the week. Here's the chart showing our solar energy production for the week.

We need more sunny days before the panels are covered with snow for months and months.

Reading went better this week as I finally finished the two review copies that were bogging me down. I also finished listening to the Elfhome series. I know Wen Spencer is working on another Elfhome book, but it is a prequel and won't tie up any of the dangling plot threads left at the end of STORM FURIES. I do hope she eventually writes another book tying up those loose threads.

I should finish the rest of my October review copies next week. I am eager to read some of the books I've recently added to my TBR pile. BTW, all the various book bloggers I've discovered through Facebook Reels are not good for my TBR stack. Luckily, I took advantage of Kindle Rewards double point days to add most of them to my stack.

Now that they have been eliminated from the playoffs, my Atlanta Braves are on a winning streak. I have been enjoying the last games in their season. It is getting tricky fitting in the games now that football season has begun. Both the Minnesota Vikings and the Braves are playing today at about the same time. Luckily, because I watch baseball through MLB.COM, I can watch the baseball game after I watch the football game. And Monday The Voice begins its new season. The first episode overlaps Monday's Braves game so I'll time shift that game too.
