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.
Welcome in to another week of reading. I’ve been reading review and library books as both are a little ‘brimming over’ at the moment. I am occasionally getting outside to walk as the weather improves, some days better than others of course. My viewing is piling up as any time I go that way its mainly to see what is going on in England with the death of the Queen and the new King. They do pomp and ceremony so well.
What I read last week:
Both great reads.
What I am reading now:
Another review book for a blog tour.

I’ve been watching as much of the coverage as I can as well. It’s all so beautifully done but so sad as well. I have the RaeAnne Thayne coming up and am looking forward to it. I hope you are having a wonderful week!

Debbie, I’ve loved The Crown, quite a bit of fiction but very very watchable.

I don’t watch TV news coverage of events anymore. It’s partly because of our cable setup; it’s not a simple matter of turning on the TV! We watch TV, just all streaming services, no network shows.
I really need to read RaeAnne Thayne one of these days. Her books’ covers are always appealing!

I just have a streaming service too. Can get a couple of networks via streaming which I watch at times.

The warmth comes and goes. I guess Spring weather. One day warm and sunny, next windy, rainy and snow in parts of the country.

Our fall is much the same so far – lot of rainy, stormy weather!

Enjoy your books this week

I am in the mood for a Christmas read! That one looks good. I have been glued to the BBC online, as I really enjoy their dignified tone of reporting. I was surprised to find tears in my eyes when I first saw the Queen’s coffin leave Balmoral, but I was very fond of Queen Elizabeth.

Linda I think a lot of us have tears in our eyes over the Queen at various points. She has been around for most of us all our lives. A stable person really through all the ups and downs.

The Porter and Morgan books are on my list to read at some point. Not a lot of reading time recently. Add in the Queen related viewing. I’ve appreciated watching British news channels for their unique perspective. I do feel a loss which surprises me. I was inspired by Elizabeth and will miss her.
I hope you enjoy more outdoor times this week as well as your reading.

I love seeing a couple of Christmas reads on here. But I didn’t realize Sarah Morgan had a new one coming out. Definitely adding that to my TBR stack.

Royal coverage is dominating free-to-air TV here. I am saddened by the Queen’s death but it all seems a little OTT.
Wishing you a great reading week
