It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - June 22



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. I hope you had a nice weekend. We celebrated Father's Day with all three kids. The weather was beautiful, and we were able to have a nice outdoor dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.

I've been trucking along with my reading. It is easier when you are reading what you want instead of sticking to a schedule.


I finished the fourth book in Karen White's Tradd Street series. My review appears here.



I am currently reading the next book and hope to finish it before we leave for vacation.



Here is the updated list of what is traveling with me to the Outer Banks.









I am bringing my Kindle Fire, but not sure how much I'll use it. I cut back on the number of books I am bringing because last year I hauled too many. On the off chance I get through all of these, I can pick one off my device or study for my real estate broker's exam. 

What kinds of books to you put in your beach bag? Are they light reads or intense reads? Do you stick to a particular genre or do you pack a variety?

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books on My Summer 2020 TBR



Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Welcome to Tuesday. This is an annual topic for Top Ten Tuesday, but I still love it. My hope is that compiling a list helps me read more. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. This will include some books I'm taking on vacation and a few others I want to read.

It is the second week of June. How is it the second week of June already? Didn't spring just start? Now, we are closer to summer. Well, at least that means vacation is on the horizon.

I've already put together my reading pile for the two weeks in NC. Both my Kindle and Kindle Fire are acting cranky, so I'll bring them, but not sure what I'll be able to read on them. Grrr!

In case you missed it, I reviewed this one on Friday. You can read the review here.




I finished this book and my review will appear this Friday at An Imperfect Christian Mom.


I am currently reading these three. 







This pile is going on vacation with me at the end of the month. 




Yes, Marilla was supposed to be my first read of the year. I started it, but got busy with books to review. I'm determined to read it while we are away.







I just bought this one. No, I don't need more books. This is just one I really wanted. The hubby wants to read it too, so that made spending the money on it easier.


This is for a review. August, I think. 

What is on your list this week? Anything new and exciting to share?

Time certainly moves swiftly. We are back to Monday again. I hope you had a nice weekend. I worked part of Saturday and took most of Sunday off. The weather was beautiful both days, so it was nice not to be driving all over the place. Today it is supposed to be stormy, but warm. Perfect tornado weather is what my kids say.

Over the weekend, I reviewed two children's books at my kid's book blog.




I am almost done with Jon Land's latest Caitlin Strong novel. Look for my review tomorrow. 



Then the rest of my list looks like same.








How many books are in your TBR pile? I think mine must be close to 1,000 if I include all my Kindle freebies. Yikes! What have you been reading lately? What is a book you really enjoyed?

Happy Monday! Hope you enjoyed the first weekend in May. The Lil' Princess had a dance show all weekend, plus I had work and church, so we had some things going on. Not as hectic as it has been, which is fine by me.

Had a chance to review this book on Friday.


I recently started this one.


Then here is the rest on my list. 








After that, I might dabble in some of the leadership books I bought recently.




What's on your list this week? Anything you're excited about reading?
