It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - May 20

Welcome to It's Monday! What Are You Reading?



It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.   

Welcome back to Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful week. We had lots of good news around here. The Lil' Diva is getting married! She released her Save the Date postcards last week, and we are going dress shopping on Thursday. So hard to believe this little girl is old enough to get married. 


The Lil' Princess learned this week that she made the Spring 2024 Dean's List at UNCW. She worked so hard and ended up with all A's! 


It was also a week of snuggling with and snapping photos of our zoo.

In my reading world, I reviewed this one at The Children's and Teen's Book Connection. Funniest book ever! Read my review here.


My review of this one appeared on May 16th. You can read it here


You can read my review of this book here


I started this one for a May 31st review. 


I also need to read these three. 





I didn't finish this one in time for book club, but I will read the last few chapters this week. 


These will come on vacation with me in July. 




Upcoming virtual book tours:
  • I Will Ruin You: The Twisted Truth Behind the Kit Martin Murder Trial by Emilio Corsetti III - May 31 (Review)

Shared a Christmas in the News post at the Christmas Year Round blog. You can check that out here.

Feels weird not sharing a Mailbox Monday post, but alas that meme has run its course. Maybe it will return one day. 

That's it from me. Looking forward to visiting your blogs today.

I need that Melissa Gilbert book! I'm a huge Little House fan! And Janette Oke - that entire series ..... I love it SO MUCH. One of my all-time favorites.

Thanks, Yvonne and Sherry. Definitely a different vibe for this book, Sherry, and I feel like Melissa has truly found her home with this one.

Thanks to both of you for visiting today.
