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.
This week was a mixed bag for me. It was Homecoming week at school which meant my students were in a variety of costumes each day and there was all sorts of excitement. The weather was marvelous. I walked between schools each day which added to my step totals. But I'm still not very close to 10,000 a day.
I had to cancel my trip to Eleanor Glewwe's book signing on Friday night because I had a car tire that was losing air and couldn't get it in to be checked until Saturday morning. That was probably a good thing because I came home after the parade on Friday with a very sore throat and runny nose. I've been dosing myself with cold remedies all weekend and lazing about on my couch.
Sunday morning, my clothes washer decided to quit working with my first load of laundry in it. I called for a repair person from the Yellow Pages who advertised that he worked after hours and had flexible hours but I'm still waiting to hear from him. Since I gave my home phone number as the call back number, I really can't run down to the local laundromat to finish my laundry.
See, a real mixed bag this week. I hope next week is less exciting.

Read Last Week
Rock Courtship by Nalini Singh was a novella in her new, very spicy contemporary romance series. I'll be posting my review on Sept. 29 later in the day.
Beware the Wild by Natalie C. Parker was her debut YA novel. It was very atmospheric and spooky and had a fascinating main character. My review will be posted on October 23.
The Gift of Darkness by V. M. Giambanca took up most of my reading time this week. It was a long but engaging police procedural that somehow made a murderer a sympathetic character. I enjoyed the story and look forward to more about the main character. My review will be posted on Oct. 25.
Get Happy by Mary Amato was a YA contemporary story about a young woman who learns that her mother has been keeping her from forming any sort of relationship with her father by telling her that he abandoned them. When she learns that her father has been trying to keep in touch, she is very conflicted. She works out her emotions in songs that end many of the chapters. My review will be posted on Oct. 25.
