Thoughts on February Reading.

Not an awful lot of reading done. I am keeping my review books to a minimum and that sure is a plus.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

February 13, 2023February 13, 2023 Kathryn

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 reading look back and forward. Nothing unusual in the past week – the usual – the weather was just a tad less humid and that helped. I visited, went for another sea swim, read and quilted.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

Line break

This week I’ve been wilting somewhat in our very humid heat. It makes me heavy headed and sleeping at night is challenging! We are promised some cooler night temperatures though this week. And this is while so many in the US have icy weather. I notice the mornings and evenings are closing in as well.

We have a holiday weekend – Waitangi Day – our national holiday which commemorates the signing of the Treaty with the Maori and British government. It sometimes brings controversy but on the whole goes well.
