It's Monday! What Are You Reading?


Wow, this month has gone by really fast! Hard to believe the year is almost half over. Hope everyone is having a lovely spring (if it is spring where you are). 

I think time is moving a little faster for me because we’ve been a little more active this month. Now that the hubby and I are fully vaccinated, we’ve been venturing out a bit and trying to recover some of that “normal” life we can just barely remember. Haven’t been to a restaurant or theater yet, but we’ve been doing a little more "real world" shopping instead of ordering everything online. Actually, what we’ve mainly been doing is spending lots of time in doctors’ and dentists’ offices. Somehow we’ve managed to get most of our annual checkups and screenings scheduled in April and May — so that’s been taking up a lot of our time. Not exactly FUN, but at least it’s been getting us out of lockdown. 

We have been doing a little gardening, though — and that definitely is fun. Well, it’s fun for me because I mostly just pick out the plants at our local nurseries, and then the hubby does all the planting and upkeep. But he enjoys it and I like watching everything bloom. So, win-win. 

And even though time seems to be slipping away from me, I did manage to read a few books in May. Last week I finished several I've had going...

(A Kate Palmer Mystery),
by Dee MacDonald

by Camilla Sten

by Nicola Lisle

This week, I'll be continuing with one of the ARCs I'm trying to finish up...

by Nekesa Afia


I've also been reading Jane Eyre this year, off and on, and I'm hoping to finish that this week as well.

Up next...

(Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes #17), 
by Laurie R. King


Happy reading, everyone!
Happy Memorial Day, if you're in the US.
And have a great week!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

 


Once again, it's been a while since I posted a reading update. But I have been doing a bit of reading lately, even though I haven't been doing much blogging. In the last few weeks I've finished these...

(Chief Inspector Barnaby #5),
by Caroline Graham

(Harbinder Kaur #2),
by Elly Griffiths



(Charles Lenox Mysteries #11),
by Charles Finch

A couple of classic Nancy Drew mysteries by Carolyn Keene:

The Clue of the Tapping Heels (#16)

and...

The Clue in the Crumbling Wall (#22)


As well as...

by Angela Youngman


I also read a few children's books, and (best of all!), a memoir written by my hubby:

by Michael L. Hall

Actually, I've read that last one many times by now, since I helped copyedit and proofread it. 

For this week, I'll be reading a new cozy mystery:

(Kate Palmer #3),
by Dee MacDonald

And I've got a few ARCs I should try to get started on, too. So, back to the books!

Happy reading, everyone! And have a great week!
