It's Monday 2/6! What Are You Reading?
Book By Book
Another insanely busy week, trying to get everything done before my sons returned to college this weekend for spring semester. I am utterly exhausted this morning, but I am alone in a quiet house! I am currently cranking up my Happy playlist (which starts with I Will Survive!) to try to perk up my energy a bit.
So, I had almost no time all week for blogging – either writing posts or visiting blogs (sorry). This will be my “dig out and catch up” week!
Luckily, we always have time for our books:
- I finished – and really enjoyed – a middle-grade book, Friends for Life by Andrew Norriss, about a boy who becomes friends with a ghost. It seems light and fun at the beginning (and it is), but it also has surprising depth and deals with some very serious mental health issues. Excellent overall.
- Now I am reading The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith, JK Rowling's pen name for her mystery series starring private detective Cormoran Strike. I gave it to my husband for his birthday and am glad to have finally gotten to it myself. It's excellent so far – as you'd expect! Engrossing and suspenseful novels are perfect for hectic times like this.
- I am still listening to a middle-grade audiobook, The Scourge by Jennifer Nielsen. It's about a dystopian world where a disease is ravaging its citizens and one young girl learns some secrets while being held in a quarantine colony.
- My husband, Ken, is reading a Christmas gift from me, The Trespasser by Tana French, the latest (#5, I think) in her books about the Dublin Murder Squad. He loves her literary murder mysteries, though he's been laughing over some of the Irish slang! Skangers, jacks, gaff, gaffer, and bickied! I'm checking with my UK/Irish friends on Facebook for translations.
- Jamie, 22, has been reading The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. He is up to book 3, The Dragon Reborn, and enjoying it. His reading time will plummet now, with classes starting up again today.
Like I said, not much blogging time last week. Just two new posts:
Movie Monday: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, an excellent addition to the canon!My 2017 Reading Challenges – yes, finally! Some oldies and some fun new ones
I must catch up on reviews this week – I am 6 reviews behind at this point.
