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.

It was another busy week, but I was still able to read and listen to several books. I am in Toronto right now with my daughter-in-law. We came up last night, as she is having minor surgery today and I am staying at the hotel. She should be discharged tomorrow and we will head back home on Wednesday. This past week, I had lunch with my sister, her hubby and another couple, then picked up a different sister and went to Toronto to see Les Misérables. We stayed overnight on Tuesday and went to the wonderful, amazing performance on Wednesday afternoon, then a five hour drive home. Thursday found me having coffee with a group of 6 wonderful ladies that I worked with. I was planning on opening my pool when I got back from my European Vacation at the end of June, but was informed that there is a bylaw in our town that says pools must be open and clean by June 15th or they must be drained. So, I spent several hours opening my pool. Fortunately I have friends who will cut my grass, water the sod and take care of the pool while I am away. Besides that, I had a few appointments and errands to run.

So, what did I read or listen to last week? I was able to read or listen to 14 books/audiobooks. 7 were on my TBR that I set for the week, so half of my books were mood reading. I finally got to my physical shelves and read 2 of those, and listened to a few audiobooks that were on my Netgalley shelf, as well as from the library.  I read 2 books for upcoming blog tours and those posts are scheduled for the next couple of weeks. I had planned on keeping up with reviews this week, but have only reviewed 13 of these books. With 5 left from the previous weeks to review, I am 6 books behind for 2024, which is way too many for my comfort.🤦‍♀️ I seem to be getting further behind each week. I’m working hard to catch up before I leave for my vacation at the end of this month. Clicking on the cover will take you to my review, if I have posted it.

What Will I Read Next? Maybe…..

I have 2 books I want to read for blog tours that I must have scheduled before I go on vacation. After that, I would like to read or listen to 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.

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 yard. What did you read this week? What are your upcoming reading plans?
