It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday - Apr 11

Welcome to It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday. 

 

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. 

Welcome back to Monday. I hope you had a great week. Last week was filled with meetings, showings, media training, and a lovely dinner out on Friday. My publisher also held its latest Between the Covers of 4RV Zoom presentation, which I participated in. This one was about what the publishing house is looking for in a manuscript and each editor shared their wish list. They also announced a new imprint titled, Tenacious, which is for grittier/edgier fiction than 4RV Publishing usually offers. They also accept poetry book submissions. Check out the 4RV website at www.4rvpublishing.com to see if you have a manuscript that fits one of our imprints. 

Speaking of books, over the weekend, I learned Clever Tom, my fifth children's book, has a tentative release date of Summer 2023. 

So, what does my reading world look like? Um... not getting a lot done. I am loving this one so far.

I am in the middle of this one.

I read and scheduled my First Chapter Review of They Called Him Marvin for next month's virtual book tour. I still need to read the first chapter of The Road to Me.  

I am also reading this book in between others. 

These are next:

Maybe by the time vacation rolls around I will get to these:

Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

My physical mailbox remained empty this week, but considering how little reading I am doing, that's okay. I did, however, pre-order this one for 99 cents. Its release date is May 24.

A family in turmoil.

Detective Richard Anderson grapples with the notion one of his cold cases of ten years ago may connect to recent disappearances when his son, Kyle, reveals things kept out of the media all those years ago to avoid copycat killings. But can he believe him? After all, Kyle claims he had a vision, something Richard doesn’t believe in. Susan Anderson is plagued recently with nightmares of a dark-clothed figure smiling at her, causing her to believe it’s an omen of some sort.

Kyle Anderson is determined to locate this cave that’s been tormenting his thoughts for several weeks. With the help of his two best friends, they begin their quest to locate it in Doorman’s Creek… But what they discover soon places all of them in danger.

How is your reading coming along? Have you found yourself reading more or less than usual?
