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...
After last week's bad news, this week was better. We had the materials dropped off on Friday for our new garage which seems like a good sign that a garage will be built soon. Also on Friday, we got a call from the people who will be repairing our wet basement saying that they were able to fit us in this Monday and Tuesday. We had been looking at October 11 & 12 as the soonest they would be able to do the job. After them, we have mold abatement to get done and then the house sale ought to be able to be accomplished. Once we close, I'm thinking of just holding the checks for a few days to be sure everything is okay this time.
Now, I would like to hear some good news about my townhouse. It has been back on the market for two weeks with only one showing.
We have had crisp, cool fall-like weather the past week with occasional thunderstorms to keep life interesting. As I'm writing this on Saturday morning, the sun is shining brightly and no rain is forecast for the next three or four days.
Read Last Week
Devils & Thieves by Jennifer Rush - begins a YA urban fantasy series. There was a little too much world building at the beginning but, once the action began, it was fast and furious. Cliffhanger ending. My review will be posted on Ms. Martin Teaches Media Sept. 25.
Secrets in Death by J. D. Robb - great episode in another long-running series. Review on Inside of a Dog Oct. 14.
Her Last Goodbye by Melinda Leigh - second in the Morgan Dane romantic suspense series. Realistic romance and creepy mystery. Review will be posted on Inside of a Dog Sept. 28.
Currently
Satellite by Nick Lake - YA science fiction. Publication date: Oct. 3.
