My Monday tradition, including a look back and a look ahead — what I read last week, what new books came my way, and what books are keeping me busy right now. Plus a smattering of other stuff too.
What did I read last week?
The Magician King by Lev Grossman: Loved book 2 of The Magicians trilogy, and I’m ready for #3!
The Android’s Dream by John Scalzi: Absolutely had a blast listening to this audiobook! Check out my review here.
The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom: Finally, I finished a book group book before the discussion! My review is here.
Fresh Catch:
I treated myself to a pop-culturish new release this week:
What will I be reading during the coming week?
Currently in my hands:
The Family Plot by Cherie Priest: It just feels like the right time for a good ghost story.
Now playing via audiobook:
The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer, narrated by Amy Schumer: Ye gods, this is a great audiobook! Very funny, of course, but also surprisingly touching and even inspirational. I’ve listened to about half, and I’m loving it.
Ongoing reads:
With my book group (2 chapters per week of each):
- Written in My Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon
- A Farewell To Arms by Ernest Hemingway
Via the Serial Reader app (read about it here):
- Moby Dick by Herman Melville: — as of this week, I’m at 34%!
So many books, so little time…

I finished listening to the Amy Schumer last week and the end result was an A+. Enjoy!
Thanks! It’s really fantastic.
