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?
Dusk or Dark or Dawn or Day by Seanan McGuire: Done! My review is here.
Waistcoats & Weaponry by Gail Carriger: Absolutely loved book 3 of the Finishing School series. Onward we go!
Pop culture goodness:
Two more of my favorite TV shows are back!
The Magicians, season 2 — and…
Black Sails — the final season!
Fresh Catch:
Two new books this week!
What will I be reading during the coming week?
Currently in my hands:
Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey: This is a BIG book. I started four days ago, and have only made it to about 50% so far. (Granted, it’s been another busy week with not enough time to read, but still.)
Now playing via audiobook:
Manners & Mutiny by Gail Carriger: I’m on Book the Fourth in Gail Carriger’s Finishing School series — and I have such mixed feelings! I’m loving the book… but I’m sad that I’m almost done! Whatever will I do without Sophronia and the girls of Mademoiselle Geraldine’s?
Ongoing reads:
My book group is STILL reading Written in My Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon — 2 chapters per week — and will be until June 2017!
And an upcoming group read:
Outlander Book Club has just selected One Hundred Years of Solitude for our next group classic read. We’ll be starting in mid-February, reading and discussing one chapter per week. Interested in joining in? Ask me how!
So many books, so little time…

Ooh this Finishing School series looks/sounds good! I’ll have to add it to my TBR.
It’s so much fun!
I’ll make sure to check it out!
I am so excited to see The Magicians back! It is not the sort of show I would normally go for, but I am hooked. I need to read the books 🤗
I’m hooked on the show too — it’s so good! The books are great too, but the plot has gone off in all sorts of different ways on the show.
Well then I guess that is okay, because the books will be a new experience when I get to them 😉
I read the books after watching season 1, and loved seeing both ways the story plays out. 🙂 Enjoy!
I don’t know what’s wrong with me.. I still haven’t watched the first episode of Black Sails! I think a part of me is still whining about it being the last season. lol I watched the first episode of The 100 last night… I keep thinking I need to call it quits with that one.
