It’s time once again for Kathryn’s weekly meme, “It’s Monday! What are You Reading??” at Book Date, where we share what we’re reading and have read over the past week.
What a week this has been! I had my socially-distanced birthday, with my husband away at dialysis. But at least we are all well. Then hell broke out in the US capitol. Let’s hope sanity will prevail and Trump can be impeached.
What I Read Last Week
I read 6 books – 2 picture books, a romance novella, a non-fiction book, a contemporary romance and an historical romance.
The Happiness of Pursuit by Chris Guillebeau I read this for a book study and found it fascinating. We all need a passion, a pursuit to follow.
The Christmas Dare by Lori Wilde. So enjoyed this contemporary romance.
Set for New Year’s by Amie Denman. A sweet romance novella.
Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas, an historical romance with a main character I disliked at the beginning but warmed to by the end.
2 picture books I enjoyed immensely:
100 Ways to Celebrate 100 Days by Bruce Goldstone
The King of Kindergarten by Derrick Barnes, illus by Vanessa Brantley-Newton
What I’m Reading Now still reading these two)
Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean
Merry Misrule by Ellie St. Clair (won this one!)
The Life List by Lori Nelson Spielman (a reread for a writing course)
What’s Up Next
If I Knew Then by Jann Arden
Your books all look good. I think my passion or pursuit is quilting, I so enjoy it!
Thanks Kathryn. I’ve collected so many magazines and books about quilting and even got a new sewing machine awhile ago – but no quilt yet. Really must get to it. I’ve crocheted afghans but no quilts.
Just a warning Bev. Quilting can be very addictive!!
Happy birthday to your husband! Yes, this week was HARD! I do hope that Trump can be removed before he makes things even worse!
Thanks. We can all hope and pray Republicans actually pot country before the president and themselves
I’m sorry your husband was absent for your birthday, many happy returns 🎈
Wishing you a great reading week, stay safe and well x
Thanks Shelleyrae. We did celebrate – just the day before .Dialysis does change things but we try to work around it. Have a great reading week yourself.
The Christmas Dare looks so good! I love the cover! I’m really into historical fiction at the moment since watching Bridgerton so was going to add Dreaming of you, but honestly, I would hate reading a book where I dislike the main character! Happy Reading!
Thanks Karry-Ann. I really did enjoy that book – and the main character’s transformation thru the book was part of that. Still haven’t seen Bridgerton – but have book on hold at library.
I need to get back to Lisa Kleypas’ books!
Have a good reading week!
Thanks Marg. I’ve started reading her different series and enjoying her books.
Happy birthday! Nice looking assortment of books. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
Thanks Kathy. Happy reading to you as well.
Happy Birthday! I hope you had a nice day. It certainly was a week of ups and downs. It sounds like your reading week was a good one! I hope you are enjoying your current reads. Have a great week, Beverly!
Thanks so much! Have a great reading week yourself.
I love the Twilight Texas books; will have to look for this one.
Thanks RAnn. Enjoying the series.
