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 Smell of Other People’s Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock: Just beautiful. My review is here.
Next Year For Sure by Zoey Leigh Peterson: Unusual and entertaining. My review is here.
In audiobooks, I finished the utterly delightful Prudence by Gail Carriger. Sheer silly fun — just as I’ve come to expect from Gail Carriger’s books.
Pop culture goodness:
In movies, I finally watched the magnificent Moonlight. It’s a movie that needs time to sink in. I found myself thinking about it all night after watching it, as small moments clicked into place for me. Powerful and beautifully made — watch it.
Fresh Catch:
One new book, for an upcoming blog tour:
What will I be reading during the coming week?
Currently in my hands:
The River at Night by Erica Ferencik
Now playing via audiobook:
Imprudence by Gail Carriger: Well, of course I’m going to listen to Imprudence next! I’m excited to start book #2 of the Custard Protocol series — although I’m dreading the letdown that will inevitably follow once I finish and have to wait for the release of book #3.
Ongoing reads:
My book group is reading and discussing Written in My Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon — 2 chapters per week — with an end date coming up in June.
It’s week #4 of Outlander Book Club’s group read of One Hundred Years of Solitude. If you’d like to join in, just ask me how!
So many books, so little time…

100 Years of Solitude is one of my fav books. But not everyone likes the structure of it. How do you n your book group like it so far?
Oh, it seems like a hit! We’re only a few chapters in, but people are really loving the imagery and use of language. My only issue is sticking with just one chapter a week — I may need to read ahead. 🙂
Glad to hear that.
