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! Welcome to the end of March. Hope it was a great month for you. My month flew by. Real estate was busier than expected. Looks like I might be hiring a part-time administrative assistant. I finished my second paid editing project of the year. I'm also pleased to announce the launch of my brand-new author website.
Would love your feedback if you visit https://ccmalandrinos.com.
Might start an author newsletter this year. Do you read those when they arrive in your Inbox?
Added to my Laura Ingalls Wilder DVD collection thanks to the Little House on the Prairie: Fifty for 50 Anniversary Podcast, which I am still listening to regularly.
Gifts and a letter from my Modern Prairie pen pal arrived this week.
Theo thought he might try snuggling up to Travis. The cat only let that last a little while before he jumped away.
In my reading world, I am almost done with this amazing book.
Need to start these soon.
These two are next in line.
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.
Nothing new this week, but I am working on catching up anyway.

Good luck with the author stuff! I hope you have a good April.
Sounds like you had a good week and month. Your books sound good. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
Thanks, Aj. Great to see you here today. Thanks for visiting.
I get a few author newletters but don't subscribe to all the authors I really enjoy, it gets to be too much. Good luck with all the stuff you have going on, and yay for a busier March.
Yes, lovely week and productive month. Thanks for visiting today, Kathy.
That is my fear, Cindy. I don't even read half of what I subscribe to, which is why I haven't added a newsletter yet. Wonder if making it short and sweet, maybe limited to 300 words or fewer would make sense. Thanks so much for sharing.
Your website looks fantastic! Most of the time I skim newsletters, though for a couple of them, I do read every word. It depends on the content. Best of luck! :)
Sounds like house selling is working out for you. I looked at your author website, looks very inviting. I do subscribe to a few author newsletters, but just a few.
Good luck with your new website. I subscribe to many author newsletters. I really like reading them. I hope you are very successful. Have a great week!
Thanks, Meezan. I appreciate the feedback and your visit.
I do love it, Kathryn. Maybe not as much as writing, but it has been good to me. Appreciate your thoughts and your visit.
Thanks, Yvonne. Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts today.
