It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is a meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.
Happy Memorial Day to those who are celebrating today! Memorial Day means not very much work time left for me. Our seniors are finished this Friday and graduate next Sunday. All the other kids have school through June 6 and we have a teacher workday on June 7. Then the reading and relaxing time can really begin.
This past week I read all books I had for review.

This past week I read all books I had for review.
Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne was a near future, disaster novel about fourteen kids trapped in a superstore while the world outside them falls apart as a series of natural and man-made disasters devastate their city. I found the pacing uneven in this one and got bogged down in the slow middle. My review will be posted on June 6. The book will be released on June 5.
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo was an excellent epic fantasy. I liked the characters and thought the world building was well done. Naturally, this is the first book of a new trilogy. It will also be released on June 5. My review is scheduled for May 31.
Dead Reckoning by Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edghill will also be released on June 5. This was an interesting mashup of a book as it combines westerns, zombies, and steampunk in a well-written story. My review will be posted on June 2 for this one.
A Long Way from You by Gwendolyn Heasley is a contemporary story that was excellent. It is also being released on June 5. It was a wonderful story about a small town Texas girl who gets a chance to go to New York City to pursue her dream of being an artist. My review will be posted on June 7.
Silver by Rhiannon Held will also be released on June 5. I got this werewolf story from Amazon Vine. I liked it but it was more an introspective story than one filled with action. My review will be posted on June 2.
I am currently reading Taking a Shot by Jaci Burton which I pulled off my TBR mountain. I was in the mood for a sexy romance with professional athletes and the strong, smart women they fall in love with.
Next week it is back to review books.
I got Icon by J. Carson Black from Amazon Vine. It is a thriller about an actor who might be worth more dead than alive and the gang trying to kill him to cash in. This is a June 12 release.
Consent to Love by Abby Wood is from NetGalley. This is an adult erotic romance but the description sounds like it has a good story too. This one is already available.
Lies Beneath by Anne Greenwood Brown is also a June 12 release. I got this young adult mermaid story from Random House via NetGalley.
Secret Letters by Leah Scheier is a June 26 release from Disney-Hyperion that I got at NetGalley. This is a debut novel and is an historical mystery.
That is my plan for the week. What do you have planned?
