Welcome to It’s Monday! What are you Reading? It’s hosted by Kathryn from Book Date, this is a weekly event to share what we’ve read in the past week and what we hope to read, plus whatever else comes to mind.
I can’t believe I have already been in Florida for a month. My reading is less than half of what I normally read in a week, due to having a friend with me. It is amazing how much more I read when by myself, but I am having a great time. We finished watching Poldark and Ginny and Georgia. It was a bit different from what I normally watch, but it was still enjoyable. We went up to West Palm Beach the other day and did some more shopping, so that also cut into my reading time. The scenery was wonderful and we drove home along the ocean and saw all the beach towns. We also moved to our new resort where I will be staying for the next 4 weeks. Now back to what I read/listened to this week.
What I Read/Listened to this week: I was able to read or listen to only 6 novels and audiobooks this week. All but one were on my TBR that I set last Monday. I have reviewed all of these books, so if you click on the book cover, it will take you to my review.
What Am I Reading Now (I am almost finished When God Winks at You as I have been taking my time with it)
What Will I Read Next? I’m not sure what I will read next, but my TBR has lots of choices. I have some audiobooks that I received as ARCS that I haven’t listened to yet, so hopefully a couple of those will be next. I also want to read my first 12 friends challenge book. Otherwise, I will play it by ear. Here a few possibilities.

Thanks Susan. We do a lot of reading at the pool, so that is about 5 or 6 hours, then of course, I read in bed at night too.

Thank Sam. I need to finish it by Thursday as it goes back to the library then. I have only read one of her books, but I want to read more.

Thanks, Sarah. I enjoyed it. It had a lot of themes and issues as well as a hot relationship. I hope to get my review posted by the end of the week and I definitely recommend it.

Thanks Jessica. My friend is going to visit friends on Thursday and it is supposed to rain over the weekend, so I am hoping my reviews will all be posted by the end of the weekend. I enjoyed and loved how it linked back to Hedgehog Hollow.

I always read so much more when I am on my own too, Carla. I’m glad you’re getting out and enjoying the scenery. I hope you’re able to share some photos of all those lovely little beach towns at some point. I would love to see them. Did you buy books?❤📚

I need to post a few pictures this week. Maybe on Friday. Believe it or not, I only bought 1 book so far. The problem is that I have so many ARCs to read that if I buy any, I will probably just end up bringing them home and the car is jammed. 🌞📚

I thought I had read them all, but lo and behold, not this one. There might be more that I missed along the way, but I shall see. I am really enjoying myself, but need a couple of off days to catch up on a lot of things. Have a great week as well, Jodie.
