Category: It’s Monday What Are You Reading

  So last time I wrote one of these posts I bemoaned the fact that it had been nearly a month. HA. It’s been more than two. So I should officially stop pretending to be surprised by these gaps in my reading and just get on with it. I always have a couple of down READ MORE

  Oh wow, it’s been nearly a month since I’ve done one of these posts! Probably in part because I’ve taken up a new hyperfocus (crochet) and (re)discovered some fantastic British comedy shows (Very British Problems, Travel Man, QI and The Big Fat Quiz of Everything/The Year/The Decade etc) and have been doing nothing but READ MORE

  I haven’t been reading as much lately, so I didn’t have anything to share last week. This week I was able to read a bit, but it’s still not very much to discuss! Here it is anyway.   Just Shelved          Both of these books are knitters (or knitting admirers) talking READ MORE

  Another decent reading week! I finished four books this week, and they were all good – but two were even better. Now I’m just trying to figure out what to read next to keep the enjoyable experience going!   Just Shelved                    I’ve had How to Keep READ MORE

  When I looked back in my Goodreads at what I read this week I was surprised to see I finished more books than I remembered! I thought I’d finished two, but instead…. Just Shelved   .    .      I read People I Want to Punch in the Throat earlier in the summer, READ MORE

  I had a decent reading week this week – but I can’t tell you anything more about it. So you’ll have to just take my word for it. Here’s what I read, and what I’m reading, and a few books I might (but probably won’t) read next.   Just Shelved          READ MORE

  This one is a two-week edition because I didn’t have time to write it last week. Not that it matters much! I’m making good progress despite being busy in the garden and with my kid, who I’m loving having extra summer time with. We had a wonderful time yesterday repotting three varieties of mint READ MORE

  It’s been what felt like a long week, but a decent one. I’ve spent a lot of time out in the garden, and it’s finally starting to look like, well, a garden – instead of an overgrown thicket of weeds on the rampage. They really were poised to take over the neighbourhood! I have READ MORE

  Not a terrible reading week, though I didn’t finish as many this week as last. I did finish one that’s been on my reading list for a while though, and made a good discovery. I’m also slowly continuing with a couple of books I’ve started, and I’m really enjoying them.   Just Shelved   READ MORE

  I nearly didn’t write a post this week, because I thought I’d only finished one book and it felt like it wasn’t worth the effort. Then I decided to just check which books I’d finished last week and which I’d read this week and OOPS! I read three! So here’s the post, in the READ MORE

  It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these – because it’s been a while since I’ve had anything to put in one! I moved about a month ago now, and it’s been nuts. Just, nuts. But I’ve finally managed to get through a few books in the past week or so, and READ MORE

  This is a two week post – I didn’t have time to write one last week! I haven’t been reading quite as much lately, so there’s a bit less to report. I’m super stressed – renovations are ongoing and not going well (now part of the roof has to be replaced, yay) and we READ MORE

  Another decent reading week with some books I really enjoyed! Joanna Cannon’s new book about mental illness was definitely a stand-out, and one I learned from and enjoyed (if you can say that about a book on this topic). I’m feeling particularly restless this week so I’m not sure if I’ll continue what I’m READ MORE

  I’ve settled into less of a frantic reading pace this week – after reading a whole schwack of books last week to make up for the two months I read nothing. This week was a slower week, but I still kept reading.   Just Shelved .      I only finished two books this READ MORE

  Well, it’s been a while. The last time I wrote a Monday post was on January 30th – because I haven’t really read much since then! It’s been a busy time, a lot of stuff going on, and a lot of stress along with it. Between dealing with renovations, starting to pack, a family READ MORE

  It’s been a busy and stressful week, so I haven’t gotten as much reading done as I normally do. Just one book finished last week. We’ll see if I’m able to get back to it this week or if this is the beginning of a major slump. Could be the latter as there are READ MORE

  It’s been a while since I wrote one of these posts! The last one was November 21st. So I’m going to include the books I’ve finished since then, partly because I haven’t finished any in the past week anyway! Just Shelved          This has been a great start to my 2023 READ MORE

  I haven’t read much this week. It’s been one of those weeks where real life pretty much eclipsed everything else. We’ve been house hunting for a while and finally found one we like. We spent the week frantically putting together an offer, amending it, and waiting for news. Now we’re frantically putting together all READ MORE
