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.
On the Personal Side: I am still regaining my strength and recovering from my surgery. School starts Monday for teachers and we have three heavily scheduled and long days to begin the year. To add to that the temperatures are supposed to be in the 90s with high humidity. I can't say that I am looking forward to leaving my air-conditioned house even to go to my air-conditioned schools.
I expect this will be a slow reading week because I will be working both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings as well as all day Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Luckily, we have Thursday, Friday, and the Labor Day weekend to recover before we start with students on September 3.

Last week I read:
A Study in Silks by Emma Jane Holloway - This one was an entertaining historical mystery/steampunk story that begins a trilogy. It was very long and printed in a small font which got my reading week off to a slow start. My review will be posted on August 29.
Don't Look Now by Michelle Gagnon is the sequel to Don't Turn Around and is a young adult technothriller. This one is the second book in a trilogy and is filled with action and danger. My review will be posted on September 4.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black was an very interesting addition to the vampire genre. I really liked the main character and the world that Black created. My review will be posted on August 31.
This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales was an excellent story for all those people who didn't fit in while in high school and who dance to the music of a different band. Elise Dembowski finds her passion as a DJ at an underground dance club and changes her life. My review will be posted on September 5.
The Edge of Normal by Carla Norton was a thriller starring a young woman who had been abducted at age 12 and kept captive for almost four years while suffering torture, sexual abuse and starvation. Now 22, she gets involved in the case of another girl who was abducted and attracts the attention of the criminal mastermind who planned the abductions. It was a great story of recovery and strength and had some very chilling parts. My review will be posted on September 5.
Coming up this week on Inside of a Dog are reviews for Biting Bad by Chloe Neill, A Study in Silks by Emma Jane Holloway, and Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich. Coming up this week on Ms. Martin Teaches Media are reviews for Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst and The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black. I will also be interviewing Sarah Beth Durst on Wednesday.
Next week I have these review books on my Read Now stack:
Death Never Sleeps by E. J. Simon
Covet by Tracey Garvis Graves
The Impersonator by Mary Miley
Mister Max: The Book of Lost Things by Cynthia Voigt
Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts

What do you have planned for this week?
