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 everyone. I had a pretty normal week, with a variety of activities, very few of them housework or anything like that! My reading was good, my admiration of Louise Penny continues to grow, and I really enjoyed the Mary Balogh audiobook.

I watched the last episode of Ted Lasso and was very sad to see it finish. Now that the nights get dark quickly with winter here, I tend to watch something. I think I might have to flick over to Netflix to catch up on a few things there.

Well hasn’t May rolled through fast. I think June counts as our first month in winter. I hope we get some really nice cold weather.

I did a lot of listening this past week or two as I sped through 20 hours of Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt which ends a series. As Lucinda Riley died her son did the last book from the notes his mother left. He did an excellent job. This book was set in a number of countries so it was quite a ride.  The Emma Project has been on my shelf for awhile so it was time and I did enjoy it.

I got hooked into watching Ted Lasso on Apple TV and now just waiting for the last one in season 3 to drop on Wednesday. I’ve loved the show and think I need to turn around at some point and watch it all again.

Well one of my usual weeks with a bit of this and that. My reading slowed a bit as other things took over and I can see the coming week will be even slower but that’s okay. I am loving my audiobook and even though it started out at about 25 hours, its getting whittled down fast as I want to find out all the details.

Well last week was mainly a wet week, yet warm. Strange weather for late Autumn.

Saturday night (our time) I watched the coronation of King Charles in England. Such ceremony. I stumbled off to bed at midnight as they left the church.

I had a good reading week, My Oxford Year was a very good listen, although not quite what I expected. Take My Hand was outstanding and opened my eyes to shocking injustice.

Welcome in as we open up to what May brings. I’ve been busy reading of course but as my sister and brother-in-law contracted Covid during the week I’ve been picking up and dropping off stuff to them. That virus is still around. It catapulted me into going in to get a Covid booster during the week.

I have also binged my way through The Diplomat on Netflix, loved it so hope they have a second season. I like Keri Russell but stayed for the show! I had to watch the ending a couple of times to see what happened! Anyone else watching it on Netflix? I have also been watching and enjoying Shrinking on Apple TV, thanks Sue for that recommendation.

What I am reading now:

And still slow and steady reading …

Very sad but almost verging on a genocide story.  Excellent reading.

I had a great week, the weather was mostly miserable but such is weather. I went to book club – on the wrong night so I had two nights going out, the second one being the correct night. Some of my sisters visited my niece to see her house and garden – 35 min travel, and we were there. She had oodles of bookcases!!

What I read last week:

The Happy Ever After Playlist was so good on audiobook, so I need to listen to more by this author. Fault Lines was my slow and steady read and gave a great picture of Tokyo and a family – particularly the wife. A Hard Day for a Hangover – so good, so sorry to see the trilogy come to an end. I hope Darynda Jones writes more contemporary novels.

What I am reading now:

My slow and steady book is…Take My Hand

Hope you all had a great week. My joy of the week was when my great niece ( Miss 7)  sent me a voice message to tell me she was so delighted with herself because she had just read her first book all by herself. She had enjoyed a big book of Billie B. Brown ( by an Australian author).  It was so good to hear the excitement in her voice. Makes me want to run out and buy her some more in the series!  I don’t remember being able to read the first book by myself, do you? I imagine though its like that first wobble off riding a two wheeler by yourself and I do remember that.

I had a good time in the city yesterday, met up with a friend and we went by bus around the harbour, had lunch by the beach and then came back across the harbour by ferry and then back by bus the last little bit. The weather was perfect and though Autumn is setting in there were lots of people out enjoying it all.

What I am reading now:

I borrowed this one from the library and as soon as I got it of course it had to go right up front on my reading.

Hope you are all recovering from celebrating the Easter season, or whatever one you do at this time of the year. I went to church yesterday – it was packed. Saturday and Sunday were beautifully sunny days, today grey and rainy.

More books finished this week, one being audio so it was an ongoing one for a few weeks.

As you can see I didn’t get a lot of reading done this week. I did read every day but not enough to finish more than one.

We had a wee taste of actual winter this week and I actually lit a fire one day it was so cold. But back to Autumn weather after that. We also ended daylight saving this weekend, so Sunday I was feeling a little dazed. We. might get back an hour in the  morning supposedly but then I wake early and that’s that! I guess it takes a few days to find our feet again.

Hope you are all well and not in the path of bad weather patterns. If you celebrate Easter may it be joy filled.

What I read last week:

A middle grade book I’ve always wanted to read. Really a kind of time travel book for a little boy who finds a wonderful garden at night that is not there during the day.

What I am reading now:

And still listening to The Lions of Fifth Avenue by Fiona Davis. And slow read is going to be Fault Lines by Emily Itami.
