It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday - Jan 8

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.   

Releasing this post early because tomorrow is a busy day. Hope you had a nice week. Here are a few photos from last week. The first one is me visiting our local library as the executive director and program director from Rick's Place hang artwork from our November art show in the display cases.

Tiny bit of snow this week before the storm

We are currently in North Carolina moving the youngest into her on-campus apartment for the second semester. Missed our first major snow storm of the winter that hit Saturday night into Sunday, which dumped a foot or more of snow in some areas. The Lil' Princess was disappointed she didn't see the pretty white stuff while she was home. We probably won't see her again until spring break, which makes us sad, but we will go down in April for the dance show, and then a couple weeks into May she will be done for the semester and can head home until August. 

In my reading world, I read the following books this week:

See my review at Christmas Year Round here.

Check out my review at TC&TBC here.

I am reading this book:

I finished this one at the end of 2023, so my January 17th review will be on time. It is already posted on Goodreads if you want to read the review earlier. 

I brought this one with me to North Carolina to read on the plane. 

Next up are these two:

Upcoming virtual book tours:

• A Yellow House in the Mountains by Glenn Hileman - January 17 (review)
• Civil Twilight by Anique Taylor - January 23 (guest post)
• The Location Shoot by Patricia Leavy - January 31 (interview)  

 

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.

Charlotte Hubbard's latest Promise Lodge novel is coming out in February. I downloaded this from NetGalley.

When I stopped by the library this week, I grabbed a local history book. We have numerous farms and historical homes in town, and I enjoy the research. 

That's it for me. Hope you have a great week!
