The Sunday Post/It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
Check out the The Caffeinated Book Review for the Sunday Post
It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
The weather was cold and icky and rainy all week, then boom - beautiful for the weekend. I can live with that! It was good weather for sleeping, according to my son, who took great naps this week. Lol. Usually I catch up on housework or other work while he naps, but this week I decided to read instead. I am glad that I did, it was nice downtime for me too.
Read Last Week:
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson: I loved this book! I immediately requested a few more Jackson books from the library, I loved it so much. At 160ish pages, it is a good short read too.
In Farleigh Field by Rhys Bowen: I enjoyed this one as well! I don't usually read books set during wars, but this one I really liked. My review is up if you are interested.
Reading This Week:
I went to the library and came home with a ton of books, between my stack and the boy's. I think I have narrowed it down to these two.
Life Among the Savages by Shirley Jackson
Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs (so excited!)
Delivered:
I received two books this week, yay for book mail!
Watching:
Riverdale, The Path, Big Little Lies (although, now it is done! noo), Trial and Error. iZombie started again but we are going to let the episodes build up before starting it. We also added 13 Reasons Why, which is amazing, but I had to take a break, espeically with watching Big Little Lies too. So much violence toward women, it was almost overload. Both shows are excellent though.

How about all of you? What have you been up to?
It's beautiful this weekend after such a rainy week! It's so warm today I don't know what to d with it! lol but no complaints. Silence Fallen does look good, and now that I've read a Mercy thompson I want to continue.
ReplyDeleteSame here with Riverdale, and I've been dipping my toes back in the Netflix waters again. :)
I know, I feel like we flitted about, just so excited over the warm weather! I love the Mercy Thompson series. I really feel the books get better and better.
DeleteBig Little Lies was so good - and that finale!
I was happy to see the sun after a week of rain and then snow. Today the high was near 70.
ReplyDeleteI want to watch 13 Reasons Why but I kind of feel like I should read the book first. I am looking forward to reading In Farleigh Field.
Hope you have a great week!
I know, that is how it was here as well ~ it was a very welcome change!
DeleteI wish I had read the book first, but we dove right in. Lol. And In Farleigh Field was a great surprise for me, I loved it!
I want to read Life Among the Savages. I'm posting while on my road trip, thanks to my trusty smart phone. It's Monday! What are your reading?
ReplyDeleteYay for smart phones!! What did we do without them?
DeleteI read books set during wars very often- but I'm surprised I haven't heard about this one!
ReplyDeleteIt was really good!I recommend it for sure. :)
DeleteI'm excited for Silence Fallen too. It downloaded to my Kindle on release day but I have some review books to read first. hope this week is quieter. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost like I don't want to start it too late at night, I might want to keep reading way past my bedtime! Lol. :)
DeleteI'm a big fan of naps myself...whatever the weather. In Farliegh Field looks good.
ReplyDeleteI'm becoming more and more of a fan myself..I admit it, I read but maybe dozed a few minutes or 30 too. Lol. In Farleigh Field was great!
DeleteGlad you loved Castle!! Which others of hers did you pick up?
ReplyDeleteI grabbed Raising Demons, Life Among the Savages, and Just an Ordinary Day. :) I might need to go back for more fiction by her though, switch one out for now. :)
DeleteI have yet to start the Mercy Thompson series. It was a nice weekend, but cool rain is on the way.
ReplyDeleteI think it is about to hit here very soon. We went for a walk just now and it was chilly, cutting our walk a little short. It was still nice though. :)
DeleteIn Farleigh Field looks great...I'm going to have to check that one out!
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to read more by the author - it was my first introduction to her work and I enjoyed her. :)
DeleteENJOY your books.
ReplyDeleteBENEATH A SCARLET SKY looks good.

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
Thanks! I am intrigued by that one, I like that it was written by a journalist, and is based on a true story.
DeleteYou found some interesting books recently. Do you have to bring a rolling luggage to cart it all because you got Wyatt and I know those picture books are big and heavy. I make my girls lug their own books; their mama is not as strong as she used to be.
ReplyDeleteWe usually do family library night now, just so my husband can carry either Wyatt or the books! Lol. Otherwise I stuff them into a tote bag and my arm breaks off. We do that too, of course. Lol.
