It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
So this was the week in Michigan when it snowed. And snowed. And snowed some more. The snow here is so high - not crazy multiple feet high, but for us, pretty deep! We took Wyatt outside to play in it, and he loves snow as much as we do - at least for now. I also did some garden planning, trying to think spring, and we read lots of books. So despite the days of snow, we had a good time. And the best of all? The Olympics are on! I am such a fan of the Olympics! I think my favorite events are the moguls, alpine skiing, and figure skating. Wyatt seems to love the figure skating too! He dances along with the music, shaking his hair about wildly. He is such a musical kid.
Read Last Week:
The November Girl - I loved this book! Mostly for the Michigan settings, but I loved the world that Kang created, and the way that Anda could commune with everything. I especially liked her interactions with lighthouses. :)
Nevernight: My husband wanted me to read this and I finally started it. And I love it!! I call it Hogwarts for Assasins, or Harry Potter meets GoT. There is more to it than that though, and is its own entire world and story, but that is the best way to sum it up, in my opinion. Lol. I am only halfway through it, and I already feel like it is going to be a favorite series for me.
Reading This Week:
February is my book club month, and I picked the two Adichie books for us to read. They are so short that I felt we could handle both. :) I am looking forward to reading them!
And of course I am going to finish Nevernight.
Watching:
Top Chef, Riverdale, Outlander, The Alienist
What about you all? What have you been up to?
The Olympics- love it! I like the moguls and alpine as well, and the ski jumping. The November Girl definitely has my attention with the Michigan angle.
ReplyDeleteI need to catch up on Riverdal. I'm a week behind...
We just watched last week's episode last night - it was crazy!!
DeleteHuge Olympic watcher too. I am intrigued by The November Girl for the same reason as Greg!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good book, I loved the concept behind it. And of course the setting! :)
DeleteNevernight looks really good and I'm definitely adding it to my TBR to look into more closely. Also watching Riverdale (although I am a few episodes behind) and Outlander. Loved the Outlander books. They were so much fun. I'm loving the series as well. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!

My Monday Post
I finished Nevernight last night and it was SO good! I loved it! I have some books I have to read for reviews or else I would be immediately reading the next in the series.
DeleteI loved the Outlander books!! Jamie Fraser.....
Wyatt is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI want to read We Should All Be Feminists. Enjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Thank you!
DeleteI started Dear Ijeawele, and so far I am really liking it!
We could use some of your snow here in northern Minnesota. We are many inches below normal. I'm a fan of the Olympics too. Figure skating is my favorite. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWe were hit with it out of nowhere! It was crazy. Usually big snow stays north of us, but not this time!
DeleteI love figure skating too. :)
Cute winter jacket. Come see what I'm reading this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks! We can find him pretty easily in the snow! Lol.
DeleteCute photo. I still need to read both of those Adichie books. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
So far I am really liking them. I am sure that won't change either. Lol. Thanks!
DeleteI really enjoyed both of Adichie's essays/books. She has such a way of making her essays about Nigeria, but also about the world and humanity in general.
ReplyDeleteI really have to read her longer books.
I am really enjoying reading her. I will have to look into her other books!
DeleteOOH! I really want to read Nevernight now!
ReplyDeleteOMG it was so so so good!!! I highly recommend it! I think I am going to buy this series, it was so good, and I am only doing that now for the very upper echelon of my favorites. Lol. :)
