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.
Happy Passover to all who celebrate! We had a lovely (small) seder at my house over the weekend. Looking forward to next year, when hopefully our more far-flung friends and family can be with us as well.
What did I read during the last week?
Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs: The 6th book in the fabulous Alpha & Omega series. I loved it! My review is here.
The Fall of Koli by M. R. Carey: The 3rd and final book in the Ramparts trilogy. Simply outstanding. My review is here.
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon: My book group finished our group read of Outlander this week — my 5th or 6th time through this book!
To Love and To Loathe by Martha Waters: Sweet, sexy Regency romance — so much fun! Finished late Sunday — review to follow.
Pop culture & TV:
I finished up What We Do in the Shadows, and now I need something new to binge!
Fresh Catch:
One new book this week:
What will I be reading during the coming week?
Currently in my hands:
Whisper Down the Lane by Clay McLeod Chapman: After finishing a romance, it’s time for some horror! I’m looking forward to getting into this upcoming new release by the author of the terrific The Remaking.
Now playing via audiobook:
The Christmas Surprise by Jenny Colgan: I didn’t get as far I would have liked, because we had weirdly windy weather (okay, say that five times fast) this week and I couldn’t get out for walks most days. But now I’m back on track!
Ongoing reads:
- My book group’s classic read is part 2 of Don Quixote. Continuing onward, 3 chapters per week. Current status: 81%.
- Wicked Plants by Amy Stewart: This is a fun little guide to all sorts of deadly and dangerous plants. I’m keeping this on my nightstand and reading it in small bites.
So many books, so little time…
Happy Passover! I can’t wait to start Whisper Down the Lane as well😁
Can’t wait to hear what you think of it! I’ve only read two chapters so far, but it’s weird and I’m intrigued!
Glad to hear you had a good weekend!
I hope you have a great week coming!
