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.
Happy Monday! Well, technically it's still Sunday, but I have a hectic morning tomorrow. It is a snowy one here. Our latest storm was generous. At this point in the year, I'm planning a garden, so I'm okay with no more white stuff. Of course, the next storm is coming at the end of this week.
Booked tickets for my sister and me to two local theater productions: On Golden Pond and SpongeBob the Musical. This is part of my self-care routine.
In my reading world, I've been organizing my spreadsheet, reviewing some books, and starting a pile of books to donate to this year's library book sale. My current TBR spreadsheet sits at 314 books, 689 Kindle freebies, 17 unfinished Audible books, and 1 Chirp book waiting for me. I like Chirp, but I find that if I don't use the app regularly, it won't hold my place and returns to the beginning.
My review of this Christian historical was posted on Tuesday. You can read it here.
In lieu of our Monday meme posting last week, I shared a review of this paranormal psychological thriller. This is a genre I don't usually read, so it checks off one of my 2025 bookish promises. You can read my review here. The giveaway is over.
My review of this illustrated Bible storybook appeared at The Children's and Teen's Book Connection over the weekend. You can read it here.
I finished this historical biography of Lincoln's last full year in office over the weekend. You can read my review here.
I'm reading this book.
I am also reading this book for Caitlin's February tour. Look for my review on February 24th. She will also be sending me another title to review.
Need to review this one soon.
Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books they added to their shelves the previous week. This weekly meme is now hosted by Vicki at I'd Rather Be At The Beach.
ThriftBooks had a great sale, so I picked up a few books. This earned me a free book, and I removed them from my Amazon wish list, where I might have paid full price. I also found a cheap hardcover edition of 1864: Lincoln at the Gates of History to add to my collection.
Upcoming events:
- Review of Body Parts by Catlin Rother - Feb 24 (Review)
I had some extra time this past week, so I posted at Christmas Year Round more than usual.
At Laura's Little Houses, I profiled Charles Philip Ingalls here. I've also profiled Laura Ingalls Wilder, Mary Ingalls Kendall, Almanzo James Wilder, Caroline Quiner Ingalls, and Nels Oleson. Who do you think should be next?
That's it from my busy little place in the world. I've got two appointments this morning, so I might not visit your blogs until this afternoon. Enjoy your day!
