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 had a busy week, and enjoyed getting out and spending time with family and friends. I went out for lunch with a couple that I hadn’t seen since before Christmas and we had a wonderful catch up. My sister and BIL were also there. I also had lunch with 3 friends, 2 of them I hadn’t seen since before Christmas and we had lots of laughs and played cards, it was so much fun. I went out to dinner with another group and we ate vegan. This was my first time and I really enjoyed it. I did lots of work outside, weather permitting, and am ready for the work on the redesign of my large garden to start this week. The chiropractor said I am good for now and don’t need to go back to see him, unless something happens, so I am off to golf this morning. I have watched lots of hockey and caught up on the final season of Young Sheldon, as well as the second season of ghosts. Along with all that, I read and listened to lots of great books. 

So, what did I read or listen to last week? I was able to read or listen to 12 books/audiobooks. 8 were on my TBR that I set for the week, so I did pretty well sticking to it this week. I read 3 books for blog tours, and listened to several of audiobooks from Netgalley (backlist) and the library. I also picked up a couple from KU, although I have only read one so far. I had planned on keeping up with reviews this week, but have only reviewed 10 of these books, but one is an upcoming blog tour and is scheduled for May. I do hope to post a couple more later today. With 1 left from the previous weeks to review, I am 3 books behind for 2024. Clicking on the cover will take you to my review, if I have posted it.

Reading Now: 1 book for a blog tour, and one from NG

 

What Will I Read Next? Maybe…..

I have three books to read/listen to for blog tours, two books from my physical shelves, some books on my Netgalley or Edelweiss shelf, 1 for my top ten lists, and a couple of books/audiobooks from the library. I still have a lot more middle grade/children’s fiction novels on my Netgalley backlist, so I want to read a couple of them, but haven’t done a good job getting to them. I know I will not read all of these over the next week, but these are the books I hope to choose from. 

Maggie in the Middle: A poignant and moving romantic comedy   An Unsuitable Heiress   

An ambitious TBR this week, but I’ve been reading/listening to 12 to 14 books for the last few weeks, so I might get to most of them unless I go off and mood read 😃. I have been listening to a lot of audiobooks while doing things around the house and riding the exercise bike. What did you read this week? What are your upcoming reading plans?
