It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (April 15, 2024) 📚📚

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.

What a beautiful weekend we had. Yesterday, it went up to 79! I sat outside for awhile and hope to be able to cut the grass again tomorrow, depending upon what my chiropractor tells me. This morning, I sat and watched two rabbits doing what might have been a mating dance in my garden. They were hopping over each other and chasing around the bushes. They hopped off, to do whatever and I don’t know if I will have bunnies in the next month or so. With unpacking, sorting, putting things away, and doing laundry as well as some yardwork, I did a number on my back. As of Wednesday, I could hardly move. I have been to the chiropractor a couple of times and am feeling better. He says it is only a grade 2 back strain, but needless to say, my first golf session of the season was a no go. Maybe next week.🤞🤞 On the bright side, I did lots of reading/listening and writing reviews while I was chair bound. I watched lots of hockey, local news (I missed it when I was away), a movie that wasn’t very good (Genie starring Melissa McCarthy) and all of Will Trent Season 2 that is out so far.

So, what did I read or listen to last week? I was able to read or listen to 18 books/audiobooks including 1 book I used for a study over the last couple of months, 1 novella, 1 short story and 1 MG/YA book. Only 7 were on my TBR that I set for the week, so once again, a lot of mood reading. I read 2 books for blog tours, and listened to a lot of audiobooks from Netgalley and Kindle Unlimited. I had planned on keeping up with reviews this week, but have only reviewed 15 of these books. That means, I am 1 book behind for 2024. 🤦‍♀️Clicking on the cover will take you to my review, if I have posted it.

     

Reading Now:

What Will I Read Next? Maybe…..

I have two books to read for a blog tour, 2 for my top ten lists, and a couple of audiobooks from the library that are due in the next week. I have some audiobooks on my Netgalley shelf that are long overdue a review, and I still have a lot more middle grade/children’s fiction novels on my Netgalley backlist, so I hope to read a couple of them. I know I will not read all of these over the next week, but these are the books I hope to choose from. 

     

So, another ambitious TBR this week, so I will see which ones I get to. I am home and after unpacking, I have a few twinges in my back, so will be taking it easy. Probably more reading than listening this week.  What did you read this week? What are you upcoming reading plans?
