It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (December 15, 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...

A typical winter week. We got 4.3 inches of new snow with Tuesday's 2.6 inches taking the lead. These are what my brother refers to as "nuisance snows" since they aren't much trouble for people used to driving in snow. We had a high temperature of 24F on Tuesday and a low of -16F on Saturday. The high temperature on Saturday was -6F. Brisk breezes Thursday through Saturday didn't make the temperatures feel any warmer.

Despite the cold, I did get out of the house on both Thursday and Friday this week. I had prescriptions to pick up and did some grocery shopping on Thursday. Luckily, it was my brother's day off, so he was my chauffeur. On Friday, I was the designated driver for my brother's annual eye appointment. Luckily, I wasn't needed since his pupils were not dilated too much for him to drive. After reading in the doctor's waiting room for over an hour which did let me finish a book, we stopped at another grocery store on the way home. They had the kinds of soda my brother and I drink on sale. We stocked up. I was glad my brother was along since he was the one who toted all the cases of soda. Naturally, today's grocery ad had the same soda for an even cheaper price at another grocery store. 

This week should keep me at home. Nothing is on the schedule except for my housecleaner on Thursday. I should finish all of my January 13 review copies this week. I plan to fill in the blanks on my calendar with books that continue series that I'm reading before reading the January 27 review copies. I may pause my In Death reread because I do have three other audiobooks on the stack for next week.
