It's Monday! What Are You Reading? October 29, 2018

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 an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome 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. And here we are!

The weather here has been beautiful. I thought we were going to miss fall and go right into winter, but the temps have warmed up, the rain has stopped, and we've been able to get some patio, fire-pit time in. Love it! 

I had a great reading week, getting through several books this past week. Also, on Thursday one of my most favorite authors, Deanna Lynn Sletten, was able to attend our book club as we discussed her wonderful book Finding Libbie. I love all of her books, but Libbie really touched my heart and is—for now—my favorite of her books. Read my thoughts here. 

Everyone loved meeting Deanna and it was a very interesting evening, learning more about Libbie, Deanna, and the world of writing. Sadly, we forgot all about taking pictures so here's one from when I originally met her 3 years ago. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!

We've been enjoying a beautiful week here this past week. Temps in the 60's so that means some patio time with the neighbors, which has been wonderful. Saturday we went to a birthday party, so it was fun to see some of the family again. Sunday started off as a lazy day but we did get some work done on my library. We are trying to get the painting done this week but all the prep before we get to that point is so tedious. If it EVER gets done, I'll be sure to post pictures. I love it already, even without the walls painted. 

I've been trying to work through my NetGalley list and get my percentage up. I was bad about requesting so many books awhile back and really fell behind. So for the older books on my list, I put them in page number order and have been reading the lower paged books first, since they are faster reads. I'm getting some crossed off and staring to feel better about my NetGalley TBR list. This seems to be working for me. How do you decide what to read next? I'm sure everyone had long lists and big piles!  

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!
