It's Monday! What Are You Reading? Button

Hosted by Kathryn from Book Date, this is a weekly event to share what we’ve read in the past week and what we hope to read, plus whatever else comes to mind. To learn more about each book, just click on the book cover!

Reading is a bit slow these days. I don’t know if it is the books or my inability to sit and concentrate these days. I just know I have not been reading but have been watching TV with the family and working on cross-stitch instead. I will never give up reading completely, as it is my bedtime ritual. I just need to settle my mind a bit in order to want to make it a priority again.

FINISHED SINCE THE LAST UPDATE:

Pyper’s latest novel was mediocre. I wanted to love it but think he did a poor job developing the monster. Without an interesting monster, the story falls flat.

Riley Sager’s debut novel is impressive. The ending was definitely a surprise, but I feel it takes a bit too long to get to the good stuff.

CURRENT READ:

CURRENT LISTEN:

I am slowly making progress on this one. I can’t say I am overly impressed right now. It is moving too slowly for my taste and seems a bit repetitive as the characters repeatedly hash over the same things. I hope it picks up and knocks off my socks.

NEXT UP:

The release date on this one is February 2018, but my e-galley archived earlier this month. I am hoping postponing other books that have already been released to read this one is worth it!

So, what are you reading?

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Reid Jenkins. It’s really well done

I have heard great things about it. It was my BOTM pick last month. I just need to get around to reading it!

  I understand about the getting around to reading it. It’s all about priorities and what strikes our fancy.
