It’s time once again for Kathryn’s weekly meme, “It’s Monday! What are You Reading?”, hosted at Book Date, where we share what we’re reading and have read over the past week.
What I Read Last Week
I read 8 books – 5 romances, an historical romance, a non-fiction, and a picture book.
Seemed to be a need for romance last week. We got bad news about the kidney transplant my husband needs if he is to get off dialysis. He already has a donor – his sister. But, because he had the bowel removed and he was classed as category 2, he must wait 2 years and have 2 clear colonoscopies. This is actually Ministry of Ontario guidelines to doctors. On top of that, he has a nodule in his thyroid and there is another infection in his stomach wound. Back to the hospital. There are 3 things – NO MORE please!
What I Read Last Week
I read 8 books – 5 romances, an historical romance, a non-fiction, and a picture book.
Paws for Love and Cold Nose, Warm Heart by Mara Wells. I read the third and then the first of this series and really enjoyed the books.
The Cake List by Dianne J. Wilson. I’ve always enjoyed list looks and this was no exception. Labeled a Christian contemporary romance, it drew me in from the beginning.
The Duke’s Disaster by Grace Burrowes. I so enjoy her historical romances. Loved it.
One Perfect Night by Bella Andre. I had started this a while ago and finally got around to finishing this short novel. Enjoyed it.
Hawk by Kat Savage.
The Giblin Guide to Writing Children’s Books by James Cross Giblin, this was a book club read. Good for review but not much new.
Missing Mimama by Melanie Florence, illus. by Francois Thisdale. What a powerful book. It is the first children’s book I have read about Missing, Murdered Indigenous Women. So well done.
What I’m Reading Now
A Tail for Two by Mara Wells
Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer (Reading this for my book club- will finish it this week)
What’s Up Next
Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout (just got it from the library)
5 Little Indians by Michelle Good
Beverley A Baird 
Great reading and books Bev. So sorry to hear all those further health challenges for your hubby and yourself as well. Take care.
Thanks Kathryn. We’re off to the hospital today – hopefully another round of antibiotics will do the trick.
Fingers crossed that things get better for you. I love Missing Nimama. I have my own copy.
Thanks Linda. That was such a special book
