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.
Happy New Year – 2024. And wishing you a very full reading year of great books.
What I read last week:
What I am reading now:
Sheila at BookJourney is again running her first book of the year. I didn’t sent my photo in as I only have a Kindle NetGalley copy and it has no book cover on it. Imagine she has been doing this for 11years. First time I haven’t sent a photo, but I am eleven years older!!
My first book of the year. Important to pick authors I really enjoy!
My first audiobook of the year.
My first slow read of the year.
Up next:

I hope you have a wonderful New Year.
I need to read Kate Morton sometime. I see her name all of the time.

Happy New Year. I almost didn’t send in a photo – I agree… ten years older. 🙂
All of my ebook reading is my slow reading.
Hope you enjoy your First book and all others.
Happy Reading!

Happy New Year, Kathryn!
I almost never get my photo into Sheila on time – ha ha. There’s just too much going on at this time of year.
Looks like some great choices to finish 2023 and start the new year. I just read Homecoming in December and enjoyed it – I think you will like it. I found the beginning a bit slow and confusing (might especially be true if you’re slow-reading it), but hang in there – the pace picks up and it gets very twisty!
Enjoy all your books and thanks for hosting!

Thanks Sue, So far I am liking Homecoming, I scribble with pencil in the front of the book who the characters are and draw lines as I link them!! Keeps me alert.

Great idea! That will help a lot at the beginning of Homecoming 🙂

Happy New Year!
I read ebooks on the Kindle app on my phone. And I use my phone as my camera. So you can see the problem with me taking a picture of the book I’m reading if I’m reading an ebook, like I will be to start off the year.
