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?
Feed by Mira Grant: I am in love with this book. And YAY ME for finally reading it, after having it on my “want” list for so many years.
The Only Harmless Great Thing by Brooke Bolander: This novella defies description — it simply must be read. My review is here.
The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah: I was totally blind-sided by how much this book affected me. My thoughts are here.
And in audiobooks:
I finished Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire, the first book in the October Daye urban fantasy series. Loved it! My reaction is here. Moving on to book #2!
Pop culture:
Trying to cram in a few Oscar-nominated movies before March! I managed to watch one this past week:
The Shape of Water was beautiful! I can’t stop thinking about it.
Fresh Catch:
Oops – I may have gone a bit overboard with my Newsflesh obsession:
What will I be reading during the coming week?
Currently in my hands:
I’m planning to get through a couple of ARCs before returning to zombies…
Now playing via audiobook:
A Local Habitation by Seanan McGuire: October Daye, #2 — loving this series so far!
Ongoing reads:
Book group reads:
- Lord John and the Succubus by Diana Gabaldon: Our group read of this novella ends this coming week. Next up: Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade
- My book group’s next classic read is Fences by August Wilson, starting this week.
So many books, so little time…

Shape of Water was such a good movie. I really enjoyed it too.
I hope it does well at the Oscars!
