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.
Life.
Three day weekend! Funny how excited I am about basically another day to spend in my house. Woo hoo!
What did I read during the last week?
The Future Is Yours by Dan Frey: A fast, exciting techno-thriller. My review is here.
Meg & Jo by Virginia Kantra: Little Women retold! Really enjoyable. My review is here.
The Heroine’s Journey by Gail Carriger: Non-fiction, and fascinating “for writers, readers, and fans of pop culture”. My review is here.
Pop culture & TV:
Finished season 2 of Queen Sugar, and continued straight on to season 3. This show is excellent!
And in the category of good, silly fun — Men in Kilts premiered on Starz this weekend! A can’t-miss for Outlander fans.
Puzzle of the week:
Another fun one! This one was way more challenging than I expected it to be.
Fresh Catch:
No new books this week. That’s two weeks in a row! Not that I’m in any danger of running out of reading material…
What will I be reading during the coming week?
Currently in my hands:
The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey: As of late Sunday, I’m at 80%, and loving it! Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Now playing via audiobook:
Emily of New Moon by L. M. Montgomery: One of my 2021 reading goals is to read the Emily trilogy, and I’m glad to be getting started! I’m really enjoying book #1 so far.
Ongoing reads:
- Outlander Book Club is re-reading Outlander! We’re reading and discussing one chapter per week. This week: Chapter 36, “MacRannoch”.
- Our current classic read is part 2 of Don Quixote. It’s so nice to be caught up! We’re reading three chapters per week, and it’s actually pretty fun these days.
So many books, so little time…
Ahhh how did you like Men in Kilts!! i do not have the channel so can not watch it right now but yesterday this posted a video on Youtube of them making some food which i thought was funny.
It’s so cute! They’re really funny together, and it’s just nice, light entertainment — lots of bantering, plus gorgeous views of Scotland!
Can’t wait to read your review of The Echo Wife!
I think I have about 2 chapters left at this point, and since it’s a rainy day, I should be done soon. Loving it!
Men in Kilts looks beyond fun. I’m definitely going to have to watch it.
It really is fun — I watched the first episode, and it’s just as charming and funny as it looks!
Enjoy your reading!
