I had a great reading week this week. The first book is a review book, the next two are Australian outback books from the library and both were so very good. Great and Precious Things was an Audible Plus listen and was very enjoyable. The Summer Swap is a review book coming up.
A mixed bag of weather but it has turned colder at night – a two quilt night now! Mid winter is often a three quilt one! We’ve had a few beautiful sunny days which is always welcome.
One of my sisters called in Sunday to return books and get more. I gave her Inheritance by Nora Roberts but later remembered I need to tell her it ends on a cliff hanger and the next one is out at the end of the year. I am also encouraging her to rejoin the library with all its goodies. I love on Libby how you can get so many magazines to flip through. My favourite quilting magazine is there so I am delighted about that.
What I read last week:
What I am reading now:
I gave up waiting for the “maybe” that this one would become available in this part of the world on audio and bought the Kindle edition. Kindle books – many of them are rather expensive now.
I’ve read books #2 and #3 in the Ravenswood series so decided to go back and listen to #1.
Also listening to this one on my phone -Truly, Madly when I am out walking

Up next:
From my NetGalley shelf an Historical book

The Book Date 
I really enjoyed The Summer Swap and I read that Heather Weber years ago but I don’t remember much about it. I’m looking forward to seeing what you think of it. I enjoyed the Mary Balogh book I read this year and am looking forward to reading more from her this year.
PS The Jenny Colgan series I quit reading because of the annoying child was the Mure series. I read up to An Island Wedding and then I just couldn’t take Agot anymore. I’m going to try it again because I really loved it but I was not in the mood at the time.

Aha, yes Agot was a whinger for sure, but I listened on audio and the narrator did do a great job with her.

I’m not familiar with any of these. I might try another audio book on one of my walks.

We had to turn on the air-conditioning already today because the temperature got up to almost 90 F! April is very early for that. So, I switched yesterday from the big fat ultra-warm winter duvet to a very light comforter.
Looks like a wonderful variety of books this week – I love that you share books with your sister 🙂 I had no idea you could borrow magazines from Libby! I use Flipster through our library for magazines.
Enjoy your books this week, Kathryn – and those lovely cool nights!

Sometimes a cover draws me in – Death at a Scottish Wedding just has “that look”! So I read one page of a preview read, and I’m going to have to have it. But I think I’ll read An American in Scotland first – I love that cover too, lol!

I haven’t looked for magazines on Libby (not that I’ve read a magazine in years). But I love the ap for audiobooks. No changing discs, just listen to the story from start to finish.

I’m glad you h ad such a great reading week and that your enjoyed your two Australian books, Kathryn. I haven’t read Jennifer Scoullar yet, but will be adding her to my list of Australian authors to watch for. It’s nice that you and your sister get together. Even better that she’s a reader! Have a wonderful week. 💕📚

Jennifer Scoullar seems to really have insight to the Aussie fauna, which made it extra interesting.

Sounds like a fun week. Our weather has been an odd mix as well: cool and rainy one day, sunny and warm the next. Don’t know if we should shut off the heat or keep it on.
Hope you enjoy all your books.

Thanks for the Rebecca Yaros recommendation. I love Audible Plus, but there is so much in there and not all of it is very good.
