It's Monday! What are you reading? 10/22/2018

Hosted by: Book Date

I've been bad about the blogging again, but in my defense, life has been ridiculous crazy.  I did manage to read all of my discussion books, though a couple I finished within a day after the discussion.  I only read a few of the books I sent out for my Birthday Giveaway.  The rest will be read via library ebook format.

I've had quite a bit of programming and whatnot going on for work.  My grandfather passed this past week so that's been hard on the family.  And it doesn't help that my father has been doing poorly (mentally) and has been hospitalized for the better part of 2-3 weeks (he came home, but had to go back).  Oh and the dogs are wild without someone home with them as they are used to. 

So anyway, blogging, and to some extent reading, have been slow going.

Since I last blogged, I've read:

Pane and Suffering by Cheryl Hollon
When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir by Asha Bandele and Patrisse Cullors; Read by Patrisse Cullors
Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear
Frankenstein by Mary Shelly
Beartown by Fredrik Backman

Currently reading:

Birds of a Feather (Maisie Dobbs, Bk 2) by Jacqueline Winspear

Started but currently paused:

Eye of the Shoal by Helen Scales
Moby Dick by Herman Melville

Upcoming:

I once again have many, MANY library books.

I also have (for a discussion) The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

I also have Crepe Factor by Laura Childs for a discussion, but since it is book 14 in a series, I have a lot of catch up.

  1. I just started reading Eggs in Purgatory this morning, a Laura Childs cozy mystery. Ugh, I hate reading books out of order, starting at #14 would make me nutty. I hope you enjoy it though!

    My roundup!

    1. I think I'll start with book one and if I don't get to book 14, then oh, well.

  2. I'm sorry to hear that your life has been so stressful. I hope you dad is doing better soon. I really want to read The Hate U Give and have a copy on my Kindle, but haven't had a chance yet. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

    1. Thanks. I should start The Hate U Give soon, but I've been in a bit of a reading slump.

    1. I just went through and added several to my "try again" list. I'll revisit them when I'm in a better state for reading.
