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! Greetings from your happy and zany book-loving, book-writing, book-editing REALTOR friend. In case you missed the memo, fall is my favorite season. Christmas might be my favorite holiday, but fall is the best season in New England for me. So, in between everything else I love doing, I am decorating for fall, thinking about pumpkins muffins, and plotting when I might have a weekend off to switch over my wardrobe. Here are a few photos from last week.
Updated my flower boxes
Decorated at the end of the driveway
Harvested my mini-pumpkins
Fermented wild grape wine
The only reason we don't have homemade applesauce right now is because it's too early for bushels of McIntosh.
In my reading world, I read and reviewed the following:

I didn't get to any of this one last week because my Kindle was in my office, but I wasn't very often.
I finished the next book in the Love Comes Softly series on Sunday.
I finished listening to this one on Friday.
I am listening to the one on Audible.
I downloaded these two from NetGalley.
These are next.
Upcoming events:
- Side Launch by Brock Martin - October 2 (Review)
- The Merry Matchmaker by Sheila Roberts - October 16 (Review)

It's late Sunday when I am posting this because my first appointment is at 8:30 on Monday. I will check in with you all later in the day. Thanks for reading!
I just finished reading about Ben Franklin, and Franklin, like Arnold Schwarzzenegger, felt it was important to be useful.
ReplyDeleteI love fall, too! I will love fall more after the tropical storm is over.
I hope the tropical storm is done now, Deb. I think I also read another book lately that talked about how Ben Franklin believed in being useful. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteWhile Fall is nice, summer is still my favorite season. Minnesota winters are too long for me to really look forward to. You have so many books on the go. I hope you enjoy them all. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYour winters definitely hold on too long. Not sure I could ever live there. Thanks for visiting, Kathy.
DeleteI would like fall more if it didn't inevitably lead to winter. I'm more of a 3 season kind of woman. Where can I find that kind of weather? :-) A house we drive by as I take my husband to work already has their scary Halloween blow up decorations out. I want to knock on their door and ask them not to rush me! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteJen, your comments remind me of that cartoon about all the year end holidays being so rushed. If you move to Hawaii, you would just have lovely weather most of the time. Not for me, but could work for others. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteI also really enjoy fall. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy. Appreciate that you stopped by.
DeleteSome good looking books. I can only imagine how wonderful Autumn is in New England from TV. Bet its wonderful. Smiled that your Kindle was in the office but you weren't there often!
ReplyDeleteFall is the one thing I will miss if we ever move. I can live without winter, even the first snow, but not fall. Thanks for stopping by, Kathryn.
DeleteNice books on your list. They all look good. I hope you enjoy them. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yvonne. Hope you have a great week!
DeleteFall hasn't made it's way to Southern California yet. I am looking forward to it when it does though. I love the fall season too. I've been hearing good things about The Merry Matchmaker. I hope you enjoy it when you read it! Have a great week, Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteFall in a different part of the country would be fun to experience. Thanks, Literary Feline. So great to see you here last week.
