It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are, and are 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.
Welcome back! Hope you had a great week. We are creeping closer to the end of August, and I am ready! Not that I have time for it, but I really want to decorate for fall. I actually listened to Christmas music last week. I bought some new flour to try out different recipes, and this weekend, I made a bunch of chicken broth and banana bread.
Shifting to reading...
Hope to write my review of The Ladies Hall by Vanessa Miller this week.
I didn't read The Eyes of River last week.
Dived into Staged by Caitlin Rother.
Loving Massawa by Pam Webber.
I need to write a review of Food is Medicine by Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DRPH.
Also need to read:
- A Christmas Carol Devotional: 25 Advent Reflections from Charles Dickens's Beloved Classic by Rachel Dodge
- The Christmas Yes List by Melissa Ferguson
- Beginner's Guide to Using an AI Assistant by Hank Quense
I have 45 days on this devotional.
I only have 14 days left on this one. Yikes!

Nothing new this week. I am pretending to behave.

I have a couple of Christmas reads coming up soon!
Have a great week!
Christmas reads already, aaah! I need to start planning presents, ahaha. Hope you have a good week!
The book on using an AI assistant to write looks interesting, but I don't know if I approve of writers using it unless for research purposes.
I have Christmas books on my October calendar which seems too early for me. I am not a big fan of Christmas anytime, but August seems much too early. I also want to hold onto summer. I like the heat and more hours of daylight. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
"I am pretending to behave" lol! I hope you are able to get caught up on your reading, and enjoy what you read this week!
I bought a Christmas book that was recommended to read this year, but I'm not ready yet to start holiday reading.
Hope you fit in some fall decorating. I am thinking seriously about spring cleaning! Ah Christmas music a bit out of my view as yet. Happy reading.
Christmas books so early. I noticed publishers releasing them earlier each year. Enjoy your books and have a great week!
I can't get enough of them, but then I really don't read many of them. Thanks for visiting.
Yes, I was early in picking them this year. Enjoy present planning, Nicky! Thanks for the visit.
That's exactly how Hank approaches it, Harvee. I love using AI to save me time, but don't use it to write everything, even if it inspires some of my research. Thanks for the visit.
We are the reverse, Kathy. I could read Christmas all year long. I love summer, but fall and into the winter are my favorite times of year. Thanks for visiting today.
At least I'm honest, Cindy. LOL! Not looking likely that I will catch up considering my work schedule, but hopefully will get more reading done. Thanks for visiting.
We all have our times to settle in with a good Christmas story. Both of these are NetGalley books, so I have to read them soon. Thanks for visiting today, Deb.
Thanks, Kathryn. I skipped the spring cleaning this year, but I did declutter a bit. Thanks for the visit.
I agree, Yvonne. Feels like the releases are coming earlier than they used to. Maybe it is the Hallmark Channel movie effect. Thanks for visiting.
