It's Monday! What Are You Reading? & Mailbox Monday - Feb 16

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, comment, and add to that ever-growing TBR pile! So welcome, everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and was then taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. 

Here we are on Monday again. Hope you had a nice week. I had meetings, appointments, and events last week, but I should be catching up with all of you today. The highlight of my week is that our Modern Prairie group sent Valentine's Day cards to each other, so I've had lovely thoughts throughout the week from online friends. And, for the first time in 37 years, the husband and I went out to dinner on Valentine's Day. 

Here are photos from last week:

Switching to reading, I still need to write my review of Chapters and Second Chances by Evelyn Grace Berry. 

Also need to write my review of I Heard the Bells. 

I left Before Dorothy by Hazel Gaynor on my virtual bookshelf this week. Instead, I continued listening to 100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist's Guide to a Happy Life by Dick Van Dyke. I like him more the longer I listen. 

I am reading Creepy Kid by Caleb Roehrig. Love it! 

I need to start Dream Facades: The Cruel Architecture of Reality TV by Jack Balderrama Morley soon. I only have it on NetGalley for 34  more days. It sounds fascinating! 

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 from the author for review.
