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 to Monday. How are you doing? I haven't caught up on responding to last week's posts yet. So sorry! I spent the last three days staging a home to get it ready to list. I also listed a home this week and will list one or two next week depending on how things go. Life is never dull around here.
Last week, I posted more than usual on this blog. Below are links to the posts other than memes that I participated in:
- Interview with Gabriel Tate, author of Meeks. You can find it here.
- Interview with Sue A. Stewart, author of Yuletide Murder at Sea. Find it here.
- Interview with Tony Setley, author of The Relative Unimportance of It All. You can read it here.
- Special Guest Post from Hank Quense titled, "Real Problems, Real Solutions." Check it out here.
Have you decided on your books for the Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon? Look for my post later this month.
I am a third of the way into Harboring the Enemy: The Civil War Heroine History Forgot by R. C. Duffy. I have five more days to finish it. The book isn't overly long. I've just been busy.
I finished The TV MBA: Business Lessons from Popular Culture by Rhymer Rigby. Loved the content, but struggled with how fast the author/narrator read.
I am almost done with Starry-Eyed Christmas by Sheila Roberts. This is for a December review.
The Eyes of River by Cindy K. Sproles still didn't get any attention this week. I will likely bring it with me for the drive to see the Lil' Princess.
I am looking forward to reading Soledad and the Curse of the Phoenix by Mindy Baker.
I will be reading Just Enough Room for Christmas by Robin Currie soon.
Since I finished one book that is due for review in December and am almost finished with the other, I feel like I might be able to sneak in more holiday reading this year.

- Still Wild: Poems from the Bear Shack by Suzanne Sunshower - Dec 14 (Review)

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books they added to their shelves the previous week. This weekly meme was last hosted by Vicki at I'd Rather Be At The Beach. It appears to be on hiatus, but I will keep sharing new books.
Three used books arrived last week, all about Christmas.

I reviewed T is for Traffic Cone by Sarah Feingold. You can read it here.

Nothing new this week. Not sure if I will have the time to play at this blog in November, but I am going to do my best.
That's it from me. Hope you enjoyed your visit. Looking forward to reading your posts this week!

So many interesting Christmas (and other) selections. I'm going to look into some of them. If I can't get to them this year, I'd like to have them on my radar for next year (or during the year if I get in the mood).
What happens with the Christmas writings by Authors you are putting together? Do you post those on your blog? Just curious since they sound like fun to read. I found out this year that my grandmother had a Christmas short story published years ago, which I got to read. It was such a treasure to find out about.
So much Christmassy goodness!
