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.
Just finished my 5th week in Florida, and boy is time flying by. I have been binge watching a variety of shows while down here. We watched Beecham House and I was very disappointed that season 1 ended on a cliffhanger and they are not continuing with another season. We also watched Shotgun Wedding and Merry Me starring Jennifer Lopez. I enjoyed them both. Yesterday, my friend was picked up by friends of hers until next Thursday, so I switched to Young Sheldon. I had already watched the first 3 seasons, so I am now halfway through season 5. I also worked on getting my posts up for my 2023 challenges and some of my reviews I had not posted yet. I am leaving this morning to go visit my sister and her husband (about 2 hours south of here) until Thursday afternoon, when I will pick up my friend. We had some rain for a couple of days, so I got a break from the sun, which I probably needed.
What I Read/Listened to this week: I was able to read or listen to 8 novels and audiobooks this week. All but 2 were on my TBR that I set last Monday. I have only reviewed 7 so far, but hope to get it done soon. If you click on the cover, it will take you to my review.
What am I Reading Now:
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 need to look at my challenges as well and probably will read or listen to something not on this list for a challenge. Here a few possibilities.
There you have it, which of the reading next books do you think I should pick up first? Have you read any of them?

HI Carla, I am glad you are having a good time. Five weeks is a lovely long holiday. I have just joined a Dickens challenge and must read three of his novellas by June. I have actually purchased six of his novellas. To be honest, I didn’t realise he wrote so many novellas, I am more familiar with his novels.

I saw a lot of his novellas on Hoopla, an electronic borrowing through my library. I was surprised as well. Of course the only on of his novellas I have read (more than once) is Christmas Carol. I hope you enjoy the ones you read, Robbie.

I’ve already listed to The Cricket on the Hearth. It’s more cheerful than his usual fare.

Sounds like you had a great week. I don’t like it when I enjoyed the first season and then next is not coming out for more than a year so often I prefer to watch a complete show.

I agree, that is why we have been watching more older series, but that one snuck in. It was 2 years between the first and second seasons, so who knows when #3 will come out, but it was such a cliff hanger.

Thanks Sandy. I hope to get to both of them by next week anyway. Being at my sister’s this week means I won’t be doing much reading. 📚💞😊

Thanks, Sandy. We have been having a nice time. One more day and then I head back to my place. It has been nice seeing them and her BIL and SIL. We all get along well.

I need to watch those JoLo movies! Were they good? I’m dying for more rom-coms like they had in the 90s. I think this is the year they make a comeback. Enjoy more FL sunshine and time with your sister.

I loved them both, but Shotgun Wedding was more action than romcom. It did have me laughing though. I love romcoms. I can’t remember the name but there was a Sandra Bullock one a year or so ago that was hilarious.

None of these are on my TBR, but I hope you enjoy them. Stacy Green has been on my radar for a while now… Today I am reading “What July Knew” by Emily Koch and it is REALLY good!
