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...
The Locust Street house is getting closer to closing. Fingers crossed, the closing has been scheduled for Friday at 10 AM. This week saw more mold abatement and a new round of mold tests which, thankfully, came out clear.
My townhouse will be getting new carpeting this week and a minor price change in hopes that it will draw more interest and finally get sold.
The new house had landscaping done this week to deal with way overgrown shrubbery and to landscape around the new garage. We still need to find and hire someone to grind out the stumps of the trees that were removed near the new garage.
I've been watching The Voice and lots and lots of playoff baseball games. I also got a lot of reading done this week and some work on setting up posts on my blogs. I'm filling in my November calendar and have lots of empty spaces for books from my TBR mountains. I just have to choose which ones I feel like reading.
