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.
My hubby is still in hospital but today was his best day yet. Looks like the surgery has helped. Still not out of bed, but no temperatures, and is awake most of the time. Home this week??? (or possibly to rehab.)
What I Read Last Week
I read 7 books – 1 romance, 2 historical romances, 2 women’s fiction, a YA and a magical-realism mystery.
The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd. This magical-realism mystery drew me and kept me guessing. Loved it.
The Boardwalk Bookshop by Susan Mallery. Another enjoyable read by Mallery.
2 books by Mary Balogh, in a new series, both histroical romances I really enjoyed
The Proposal The Arrangement
Light the Stars by RaeAnne Thayne. Another lovely romance by Thayne.
The Widow Waltz by Sally Koslow. An enjoyable woman’s fiction by a new to me author.
The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon. I really enjoyed this YA romance. Will have to watch the movie now.
What I’m Reading Now
The No-Show by Beth O’Leary
Phosphorescence by Julia Baird ( a NF slow-read)
What I am Reading Next
Heir to the Shadows by Anne Bishop
Beverley A Baird 
Hope your husband makes it home this week, if that’s what’s best for him. Glad to hear he’s making progress anyway! Steps in the right direction are always good.
I finished Liane Moriarty’s “Apples Never Fall” this week. It was very good!
Thanks Lisa. Should know tomorrow I hope what the next steps are. Happy reading this week!
Well that’s great and hopefully the op has got to the root of that infection. Oh my, imagine eventually no more hospital! Lots of great books read, I see a few I need to check up on and put in my list.
Thanks Kathryn. Day by day, we manage.Happy reading!
Glad to hear your husband is doing better. I’ll keep praying for him to improve.
Thanks Mark. I appreciate that.
I hope your hubby recovers quickly and strongly, and you have him home with you soon
Wishing you a great reading week
Thanks Shelleyrae – I hope so too. Have a great reading week yourself.
Praying for your husband’s health.
Other than reading, what are you doing for yourself?
Thanks you – I do believe in the power of prayer. I have been creating small collages most days for relaxation as well
Hope all is well. Good selection of reading during this time.
