It's Monday! What Are You Reading? July 21, 2025 #IMWAYR

     

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!

Pretty uneventful week here. Weather has been cool but rainy. The mosquitos are horrible so even if I wanted to sit outside and read, the bugs would eat me up. They have sprayed a couple of times so hopefully that will help and I can get back outside on the patio.

We watched our grandson in the middle of the week which is always a joy, and then we had a nice visit with our son, when he came to pick up his son. I went out to lunch one day with a group of friends from my old job. Most of us are retired so it was a leisurely time. Another group is trying to set up another lunch for sometime this week. It's great to stay in touch with friends, and there's always eating involved, which is a plus. 

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

Happy reading!

How can it be July already?? We had a pretty uneventful 4th, a cookout with some of my kiddos, and I didn't have to host. Yay me! Then we had our 11yo grandson for the rest of the weekend. I have to keep reminding myself that he is 11 and not a 'little' kid anymore. He's getting to be so grown-up!

And now.... on to another week!

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

Again with the weather. We have been having some beautiful thunderstorms (I love thunderstorms) and lots of rain. Saturday night was a little hairy though. We were under a tornado watch all night and there were actually tornados that touched down north of us. The videos from that storm are unbelievable. I haven't heard of anyone getting hurt, which is a blessing. We got quite a light show and rain last night, with it starting up again this morning. I know 'we need the rain' but we don't need flooding. 

I feel like I am in slow motion with my reading and not getting anywhere as far as finishing books. I usually have a print book going, as well as an e-book. And I always have an audiobook queued up for when I'm working around the house. Maybe I need to limit myself. Focus, Susan, focus! 

How about you? Do you ready multiple books at the same time?

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

Happy reading!

Whew! What a busy couple of weeks I've had. I feel like I haven't had much reading time and I really have been missing it. 

We had three close family birthdays in the last week, my two adult daughters (one of them was a milestone one with lots of celebrating) and my 11-yo grandson, which of course we had to make a big deal. I also attended a Pride parade and festival, a first for me, and that was very interesting and fun. I also had numerous lunches and dinners out to celebrate various thing and just to meet up with friends. So much fun to get together! But I'm ready to get back into my reading world again. 

The weather has been unbearable. We've had about 5 days in the upper 90s, hitting 100 a few days in a row. Now it's supposed to be back in the mid-to-upper 70s. I can handle that, enough of this hot stuff!

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

Well, let's talk about the crazy weather. Again. High of 66 today and then 90 tomorrow. Whiplash!! And seriously?

This past week has been a crazy one, reading wise. I've finished a lot of shorter books and short audiobooks. So it looks like a lot but pages 'read', maybe not so much. I'm not sure that it's a whole lot. Plus there have been the books that have sucked me in that I devoured. Looking at you - The Secret Library of Hanna Reeves and Jar of Hearts.

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

Happy reading!
