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.
I was able to get more reading in. My hubby has now been discharged from the 3x a week visit – his wound has finally been declared sealed- after 3 months! Yeah! Now we are gearing up for Christmas – started decorating on the weekend. Still lots to do.
What I Read Last Week
I read 8 books, in a variety of genres – 2 romances, a fantasy, a non-fiction, a memoir an historical romance a classic and a paranormal cozy mystery.
Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop. Book 3 Bishop’s The Others Series (I am once again rereading my favourite series)
The Santa Suit by Mary Kay Andrews. A lovely Christmas romance novella that was an enjoyable quick read.
How to Avoid Making Art by Julia Cameron. A fun graphic book that in a tongue-in-cheek way points out how we actually stop being creative, from the author of The Artist’s Way
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Another Christmas novella, this one a classic by the master story-teller Dickens. As I read, I visualized Alaistair Sim – the best Scrooge as far as I’m concerned.
Since I Fell for You by Bella Andre. Her romances are always enjoyable and this was no exception.
Kid on the Go by Neill McKee. I read this memoir for a review for WOW and found it entertaining and enjoyable.
The Lost Lady and the Reluctant Duke by Vivian Brighton. This was a short historical romance and was a sweet read. (Unusual but I couldn’t find it listed on Goodreads or Amazon -yet I got it as a free ebook recently)
The Vampire Knitting Club by Nancy Warren. I needed a cozy mystery for a challenge and I had heard about this series. It was an enjoyable read and I will probably read more of the series.
What I’m Reading Now
Marked in Flesh by Anne Bishop
What’s Up Next (Still determined to read these!)
5 Little Indians by Michelle Good
Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The Santa Suit sounded like a great way to kick off my Christmas reading! I just ordered it from my local library! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Mia. It was a short, enjoyable read. Hope you enjoy it.
We were going to decorate this weekend too but never got to it. How can long weekends go by so fast? lol
Hope you have a great week! 🙂
Thanks Greg. We had snow today – at least the roads and walkways are clear. It is pretty though. Have a great week yourself.
Oh my lots of reading. Good that hubby is finally into the healing/healed stage. Less tiring too having less travel.
Thanks Kathryn. Books have definitely been my refuge. I feel thought that I’ll never catch up – so many to be read, so many on my TBR shelves.
I need to read The Santa Suit! I am going to request it ASAP!
It was such a fun read. Hope you enjoy it as well.
So glad to hear your husband is doing well.
The Santa Suit and How to Avoid Making Art sound good. I love reading A Christmas Carol. Patrick Stewart is my favorite Scrooge.
Hope you enjoy your week.

Thanks Cheryl. Have an enjoyable week yourself!
Glad to hear the good news about your husband! Nice assortment of books too. I should check and see what I have by Bella Andre. It’s been a while since I read anything by her. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
Thanks Kathy. I got a few ebooks for free by Andre and just now getting to them. Fun reads. Happy reading to you as well.
I’m definitely going to check out How to Avoid Making Art
It was good. Really made you see what you did that stops you from creating. I’m doing a quick reread and then I’ll return it.
I recently picked up A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, but not sure I will have time to read it this year or not. https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2021/11/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-9.html
It was a very quick read. And the movie kept playing in my head as I read.
