It's Monday! What Are You Reading? & Mailbox Monday - May 4

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. 

Happy May, everyone! It arrived warm and partly sunny here, but the rest of the weekend has been a bit damp and windy. Hope you all had a nice week since we last visited. This will be my only post of the week, since we leave on Wednesday morning for North Carolina. I can't believe the Lil' Princess is already graduating. 

Other than preparing for the trip, I had two closings this week, and another one is happening on Wednesday. I have listings planned for my return. Lots of fun stuff is going on in our world. I hope life is blessing you, too. 

In my book world, I need to write my review of This is Not About Us by Allegra Goodman. 

I am almost done with Scrap: Salvaging a Family by Luann Castle. 

I continued The Ladies Hall by Vanessa Miller. 

I am listening to Hi Honey, I'm Homo: Sitcoms, Specials, and the Queering of American Culture by Matt Baume.

These are next:

The Ledger by Steven Manchester, which is a companion to his novel, The Menu

Staged by Caitlin Rother, which is the sequel to Hooked

Co-Created: The Cultural Strategy That Redefined Pacsun by Brieane Olson is also a NetGalley download.

The Ghost and the Key, the first book in Bill Cusano's The Old Cranberry Ladies Garden Club series. I am reading this series this summer.

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. 

One new arrival from Sheila Roberts in the mail this week.
