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.
I will be combining my YA and adult reading and purchases on this one weekly roundup. YA and middle grade reviews will still be posted on Ms. Martin Teaches Media - my other blog.
Other Than Reading...
This has been another week of hurry up and wait. The windows were repaired on Monday when we finally had a day without rain. I'm still waiting for bids to repair the landscaping and have another company coming to give a bid on Tuesday. The contractor and plumber have promised to come on Monday to do their needed fixes. The painters are doing their final touches around the rain storms. The Locust Street house should go on the market this week. My townhouse will be advertised extensively this weekend and an open house is planned for Tuesday. Hopefully things are moving in the right direction with both those houses.
I have managed to get a little ahead on my reading but it is in exchange to an almost empty week on my blogs coming up the week of the 17th. Rainy weather gave me lots of reading time this last week and all but one of the books I read were engaging and fast-paced.
