Book Date: What I Have Been Reading...

-


 It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! This meme by Kathryn at The Book Date.

Can You believe it is the last Monday of July? Guys, before much longer we will be filling our shelves with all the fun winter and holiday books. I have had a really good book month, but I image it will start to slow down due to being a busy season for me with the Moonbaby shop.

One of the reasons I had such a great reading month is that we took a road trip to California and I had a lot of time trapped in a car listening to or reading books. Vacation was great ( kind Of ) I love going home to visit where I grew up. We had a fun time at the beach, it was Atlas's first time and boy was he excited, he has been talking about it since before the shut down...


Anyway...on to the books...

WHAT I READ LAST WEEK:

In one of the few Instagram made me do it...I picked up the Heartstopper series. This is the first time I have read a graphic novel, and it was fun, but I didnt really feel like I was reading, so I probably wouldnt make it a regular read. However, I did get book 1 and book two read and thought they were just adorable and cant wait to read book 3...



I also participate in a monthly Non-Fiction read, and this  month I picked BRIGHT STAR, THE LETTERS FROM JOHN KEATS TO FANNY BRAWNE




And Finally, the buddy read that we host here every month was FALLING by TJ NEWMAN




WHAT I AM READING NOW:

I have been reading Midnight Spells Murder by Mary Angela, which is a Halloween cozy mystery


And listening to The Hotel by Pamela Kelley


UP NEXT:

Next week starts a new month so I havent yet decided what I am reading for August, but I will share on Monday!

Can't Wait Wednesdays: Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo

Can't-Wait Wednesday is hosted by Tressa at  Wishful Endings  and gives us a chance to highlight books we are patiently waiting to fill up our TBRs with. I love spooky season, not all the pumpkin spice items they now have that stock the grocery shelves, but the creepy books I can snuggle up with wearing a comfy sweater. Who am I kidding...it is still too warm here to wear a sweater in October. Despite the sweltering 100 degrees weather here on the Oklahoma prairie, I am thinking about all the creepy and thrilling books I can stack my TBR list with, and Summer Sons is really close to the top of my list! SUMMER SONS BY LEE MANDELO Hardcover ,  384 pages Expected publication: September 28th, 2021 by Tordotcom Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide. He leaves

BOOK BEGINNINGS ON FRIDAY : BEFORE PITTSBURGH BY KASIE WHITENER

Every Friday Book Beginnings hosted by  Rose City Readers  asks you to grab the book you are reading and share the first sentence or paragraph and then give your feelings on it or anything else that it inspires. Be sure to include the title and the author I started Before Pittsburgh by Kasie Whitener a few days ago, it has been a busy week so the reading is going slow, but I am really enjoying it. It is the second book this month I have read that 9/11 plays a small part in, I suppose because it is the 20 year anniversary next month. It seems mad to me that it happened 20 years ago. It also seems maddening that all the time our soldiers spent over there Afghanistan is right back where they were when we started. " Power hour: one shot of beer every minute for an hour. Six beers in one hour. A toast for every shot. It's juvenile, but it gets you hammered. Tony and I sat on the dorm room floor at Radford University. Erica, a girl Tony knew who graduated the year before us, invited

Sunday Salon- More Hot Weather and More House Reno's

 The Sunday Salon is hosted by  Readerbuzz  Another hot week here in Oklahoma. Once again we have had temps and heat indexes in the triple digits, and it looks like it will continue on into this week. We were lucky enough to receive some rain a few times, however, once the sun came out it WAS HOT. I don't want to be one of those people who start wishing for all things pumpkins, long walks in falling leaves, etc...but at this point, I am. Of course, everything is rather dead here due to the heat so, we might not have many leaves to change and fall LOL. Our garden seems to be loving the heat, we are overrun with tomatoes, and have been eating them with every meal and giving them away We are still working on the dining room. With a hundred-year-old house, and plaster walls and ceilings, and a decent-sized earthquake last year ( fracking causes our earthquakes ) we had a few repairs to make before the actual painting started. The entire ceiling had to be redone, along with several long
