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.
It was a good week, especially for reading, We got a foot of snow over the past few days and had 2 neighbours help with shoveling, as well as my son. Hard to believe we are almost at the end of January. Hope everyone as a good week.
I read 5 books plus 4 picture books – 2 women’s fiction, a romance a fantasy and a YA fantasy.
It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover. Loved this – my first read by this author. Have already checked out more books.
Every Summer After by Carley Fortune. A new author to me and I’ll be looking for more of her work. Really enjoyed this one.
Well Traveled by Jen DeLuca Finally finished this and so enjoyed the last of the series (so far)
Ruby Fever by Iloan Andrews. Have so enjoyed this series. Hope they will continue with more books in this world.
Radiance by Alyson Noel. This was a read for a book challenge (one word title) and it was okay – a YA fantasy. Interesting world she created though.
I have been taking part in Storystorm this month – a picture book challenge, to create a pb idea each day as well as read inspiring posts. I’m trying to read more pbs as well. Here are 4 I rea this past week, all excellent reads.
Oceans by Carron Brown and Becky Thorns
The Unbreakable Thread by Emily Joof, illus by Asma Enayeh
The One Thing You’d Save by Linda Sue Park, illus by Robert Sae-Hrng
Yetis are the Worst by Alex Willan
What I’m Reading Now
One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle
Whispering Through Water by Rebecca W. Wheeler
What I am Reading Next
The Choice by Nora Roberts
Yikes! 2 feet of snow! I, like my fellow PNW-ers, am a complete weather-wimp! At the mere suggestion of snow, we go and hide in our homes!
Well, I hope you had some good reading time during all that snow. Have a great week!
Thanks Melinda. It has been a good reading week. Hope yours is this week.
Ruby fever looks good, is there a lot of fighting in this series? Must look it up.
I’ve enjoyed the whole series. Yes, there is fighting, not sure if it’s a lot.
Finally heard about the floods in New Zealand on our news here. I had checked after I read your post and then this evening there was a devastating report about the floods. So much destruction. I pray for all those affected.
Funnily enough when I checked I had read the first in the series and given it four stars. I need to go back and maybe reread that one and go from there.
We got a bunch of snow last week too! It’s a great excuse to stay inside and read. 🙂
So agree AJ. Happy reading this week!
We got that snow as well! It is so pretty as it falls, but is not easy to drive around when it is slippery or blowing! Love the cover of Every Summer After.
Thanks for stopping by Nise. I always wish that snow could fall so it avoids roads and sidewalks and just be on the ground. It is lovely tho
That’s a lot of snow! We’ve just had light snow the past week. Nice looking assortment of books. I like Ruby Fever and Well Traveled too. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
Thanks Kathy. At least some of the snow has melted away over the weekend. Happy reading this week!
We were too south in Texas to get snow, but we had ice, which isn’t nearly as fun. 🙂 It was great reading weather, though. Happy to see you also enjoyed Every Summer After and Well Traveled. I have mixed experiences with Hoover’s books but I haven’t read It Ends With Us yet. It’s waiting on my shelf, so it’s nice to hear you enjoyed it! Happy reading in February!
Thanks Dedra. Hope you enjoy It Ends with Us – loved it
