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. July is moving right along. We made it home from North Carolina Saturday morning. As much as I love spending time away from the regular day to day, it also feels wonderful to be home. I unpacked Saturday morning, slept a few hours, then drove to Marlborough to spend time with my mother-in-law. It is late Sunday night as I type this. I am tired, but glad to get back into my regular routine.
I was also happy to see this little guy and our other cats when we came home. We take our dog with us, but the sitters take care of the cats.
In my reading world, I finished three books.
I am currently reading this book by Jerome Charyn. My review will be posted September 23.
I am hosting a First Chapter Review of this book on July 26.
Look for my review of this writing craft book on August 25.
I would like to read these books next, but it all depends on if I sign up for more book tours.
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.
As typically happens when we are away, I buy books or download free ones. This year was no different. I picked up the first one in a bookstore on Ocracoke Island. The second one was a gift for my birthday.
The rest of these I downloaded to my Kindle. Honestly, there are so many unread books there, I shouldn't download another one until I read 10 of them.
That's it for me this week. Hope you'll share what you're reading and what you have coming up.

Lovely to go and lovely to come home. I bet the cats were happy to see you back. Enjoy your reading this week.
I do always love coming home to my own room, my cat, and all my own things exactly where I left them! All your new books look great but 'How To Talk About Hard Things' is really catching my eye. I think I definitely can use some help with that. I hope you have a lovely week and that you enjoy your new reads :)

Always fun to return home.
Enjoy your week.
Your books look tempting! Enjoy your week, and thanks for sharing.
Vacations are fun, but it is always nice to be home. I know what you mean about too many books on your Kindle. I can't resist an interesting or free title though. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
Always nice to arrive home after a vacation. I bet the kitties were happy to have you back!
I can appreciate being glad to come home.
I just keep adding to my Kindle library and I don't get to read them often.
I hope you have a good week and Happy Reading!
Stolen sounds like a heartbreaking book. I wish A Whale of a Tale was available at my local library.
Happy reading this week.
Wow, what a book haul! I hope you had a great break.
Just catching up on visiting your blogs and your comments now, my friends.
Vacation was definitely nice, but home is even better. The cats are happy to have humans back.
Juli, I'm interested to see what "Let's Talk About Hard Things" has to say.
Kathy and Martha, my poor Kindle really needs some attention. I still prefer paperbacks.
Stolen was a tough but engaging read, Cheriee.
Thanks for visiting this week, everyone.
