It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn here at The Book Date.
Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them.
Hope you are all well. We had some very welcome rain this week and may get some more later this week. I enjoyed my reading although going a little slow at the moment, but I guess I’ll gather momentum again as we do! Sometimes there is plenty of time for reading and sometimes the pleasure of others company plus chores and other hobbies take precedence!
What I read last week:
The Susan Wiggs book was an okay book, The Cliff House is for review and I did enjoy it. The Woman at 72 Derry Lane by Irish author Carmel Harrington was a riveting listen and covered both domestic abuse and a world disaster in 2004.
What I am reading now:
From my TBR stack from this Australian author…
And about to start listening to…
From this Canadian author
Up next:
A review book….

It’s always nice to listen to an Irish author around St. Patrick’s Day! I hadn’t heard of this one, but “riveting” sounds good! I read one of Phaedra Patrick’s earlier books — The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper — and enjoyed it. Thanks for hosting!

Too bad the Susan Wiggs was just okay. I’ve read several of hers and they all tend to be pleasant but not especially memorable though there are a couple of exceptions. So glad to see The Cliff House was good. That’s soon up on my list and I”m so looking forward to it. Hope you have a great week!

Stefanie Josephine Moon is an Australian author so not sure if she is in the USA. I wasn’t so keen on this one of hers but have liked more some of her others.

Patty it does. I have to say it turned out to be not one of my favourites by this author but it was still okay.
