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! Here we are near the end of March, and I have no clue how we got here. I've been so, so much busier than I expected. At least that's a good thing. In addition to my current pending transactions, I have more coming up soon. My meal plans are set for the next three weeks. I've got a short editing project to finalize for a client. I've also been managing our short-term rental in Wilmington, NC. I read today that Southern Living listed Wrightsville Beach (less than 10 mins from our place) as one of its Top 50 Beach Towns for 2025. How exciting! I am also working on opening up my calendar to finish writing the first draft of the novel I started in November.
In my reading world, nothing much happened last week. I've been working on a Little House on the Prairie related project.

I listen to this book while I am driving. I'm also listening to the Little House on the Prairie: Fifty for 50 Anniversary Podcast. I just had to do it. Not sure how many I will binge on, but I'm enjoying it for now.
Made a tiny bit of progress on this one. I've just been working late, so it is going slower than I hoped. Wonderful book, though.
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 two came via email for next month's virtual book tour.

At Christmas Year Round you might be surprised to hear that there was some Christmas in the news this week. What could it be? Check it out here.
Nothing new here except announcing the two books I will be reviewing in April.
Laura's Little Houses has been busy. Like I mentioned above, I'm working on a Little House on the Prairie project where I am comparing the books to the television series. Even though Michael Landon didn't bring the books to life exactly the way they were written, he always captured the essence of Laura Ingalls Wilder's stories. And as I've made my way through the books again, it is surprising how much of the books inspired what was brought to life in the show in the earlier seasons. You can read the first three posts at:
Books versus the Pilot: https://lauralittlehouseontheprairie.blogspot.com/2025/02/books-versus-tv-show-little-house-in.html
Books versus Season 6: https://lauralittlehouseontheprairie.blogspot.com/2025/03/books-versus-tv-show-long-winter-little.html
Laura and Almanzo's courtship in the books versus the show: https://lauralittlehouseontheprairie.blogspot.com/2025/03/books-versus-tv-show-laura-and-almanzos.html
That's it for me. I have a busy morning, but should be visiting your blogs this afternoon.

You really have been busy. Sounds like you are doing well. The Little House project sounds really fun and interesting. I used to love that show. I hope you have a great week!
You sound busy but really well organised. Good listening too.
My husband loves Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Wishing you a wonderful reading week
Great photos and books! I am also glad that we can watch old favorites online!
Sounds like you are keeping busy. Nice photos. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
How fun! You've got a lot of great things happening! Enjoy your week! :)
It's nice that you have your meals planned three weeks out! I usually do mine for two weeks. Sounds like things are going well, despite being busy. Have a good week!
I have, Yvonne. Looking forward to this summer's vacation for sure. Me, too. LHOP is such a love of mine. Thanks for visiting.
You are so sweet, Kathryn. Luckily, I am organized, or I don't know how I could manage it all. Thanks for visiting.
I would make this recipe again, Shelleyrae. I made another one this week, but it wasn't as good. Thanks for stopping by today.
Thanks, Laurel. Every time I visit your blog, I recall more shows I want to watch. Thanks for visiting today.
Definitely, Kathy. I guess it beats being bored. Thanks for visiting today.
Thanks, Meezan. Appreciate you stopping by.
All is well. Thanks, Cindy. I don't know how I managed this long without meal planning. Appreciate the visit.
