It's Monday! What Are You Reading? & Mailbox Monday - Feb 24



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.    

Happy Monday! Hope you had a fabulous week. I'm working on keeping the productivity cycle going and also started with a nutritional counselor to get my diet in line with my needs. I feel good, but want to feel better. Once the diet is all set, I will figure out the next piece of the puzzle--exercise. Here are photos from last week:


Thursday was awards night for the RAPV. I brought home one for my sales and one for my participation in my local association. 


We dog-sat while my brother-in-law and his family were away. 


Made enchiladas on Saturday. I had the stuffing mix on top of corn tortillas because flour tortillas don't fit into the new diet. 

As far as books go, I finished this one. Loved it! My review was posted on Sunday. 


Look for my review of this true crime book today. 


I am also reading this one. 



These are next.









Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books they added to their shelves the previous week. This weekly meme is now hosted by Vicki at I'd Rather Be At The Beach

These books that I had ordered arrived last week. 




Upcoming events:
  • Review of Body Parts by Catlin Rother - Feb 24 (Review)
  • Sunset Bay by Karen Stewart - Mar 11 (First Chapter Review)
  • Gitel's Freedom by Iris Mitlin Lav - Date TBD (Review) 


At Christmas Year Round I shared the number of Christmas titles in my TBR pile. How many do you have?


I didn't post at The Children's and Teens' Book Connection this week, but I did request a couple of children's books from NetGalley, so that could change soon. At the end of March, I will post my quarterly writing update. 

At Laura's Little Houses, I posted:
  • Review of the 2021 Lifetime movie, Highway to Heaven, which was based upon the 1980s show of the same name starring Michael Landon and Victor French. 
  • After cataloging my books, I shared how many titles on my shelves have some tie in to Laura Ingalls Wilder, her family, her books, and the shows and movies based upon them. You can find that here
  • I also talked about the Little House: Fifty for 50 Anniversary Podcast hosted by Pamela Bob that features Little House on the Prairie cast members Dean Butler and Alison Arngrim. You can find that post here.
That's it for me today. Hope you enjoy your week. I look forward to visiting your blogs.
