It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly post to share what you recently finished reading, what you’re currently reading, and what you plan on reading this week. It’s hosted by Kathryn at Bookdate.
What I Read Last Week:
Deadly Game was a solid thriller.
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead was the third book in a series and my favorite thus far.
Mystery at Maplemead Castle was book two in a series I adore!
A Dangerous Crossing was a fascinating historical fiction novel.
The Lost Children was a good start to a new crime series.
The Last Chance Matinee had a really interesting premise.
Six Stories was a stunning debut, wholly unique, I highly recommend it.
Don’t Stop Me Now was a totally uplifting read.
Forever a Hero was a typical, straightforward romance.
Currently Reading:
Up Next:
I actually have some wiggle room in my TBR this week so some of these may not make it, in still figuring out my final schedule, I may even mood read for the first time in awhile!
I also posted my first discussion post of the year about blogging guilt and it seemed many people could relate, so I’m working on part two and I’m hoping to have it up later this week.
What are you currently reading?
Just about to started reading Rachel Abbots new book, The Sixth Window. I didn’t enjoy her last two as I found them to be meh is the best way to describe It lol! She got me hooked with her first book so I’m hoping this is better. Happy Monday!

Ahh can’t wait!! It’s been taunting me from my Kindle but it’s not quite time for it in my schedule. Maybe I should cheat and read it this week anyway and say screw my damn schedule?!

Lol. It’s my next blog tour so I’ve taken the chance now. I have lots to get read but this has been taunting me too. I kept dipping in but now I’m devouring it. It’s a good one.

I’m not on the tour for that until April 18, but having it read extra early is a great idea.

I’m dying to know your thoughts on It Happens All The Time; I’m sharing my review tomorrow and it’s eating me up inside.

I’m sharing mine too! As long as I can finish the last 30 pages in time to write a review, I think this is gonna be a tough one to review, it’s deeply powerful and hard to read BUT I’m loving it! Can’t wait for your review.

I’m very curious about your thoughts on It Happens All the Time…I completely disregarded it after reading the blurb, depending on your review I might change my mind:) I just finished Where Roses Never Die, another winner from Orenda although very much a slow burn. Next up is Lacey’s Wedding🤗 and Her Every Fear

It’s compelling for sure, I’m almost done. Very timely and powerful so far, if the ending is strong it’ll be 5 stars for me. Dang, I’m placing a book depository order later maybe that one should be on it?

I’m currently reading Dragon of Ash & Stars which is (if the dragon part doesn’t give it away) a fantasy which is written as an autobiography from the dragons point of view, so far it’s excellent.
