It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - 6 May 2019

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? Button

Hosted by Kathryn from Book Date, “It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?” 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. Here is what I read the week ending 6 May 2019. To learn more about each book, click on the book cover!

For having started month-end close last week plus having spent Friday afternoon and night plus all day Sunday at a dance competition, I am quite pleased with my reading this week. I finished some old review copies that have been having out there. I read something by an author I should have read a long time before this. And I finally started two of my most anticipated books of the year with a third in the queue. Competition dance is now over, so I get my weekends back. Plus, it is my birthday this week, for which I am taking a vacation day to do whatever I want. I suspect it will be reading these books. And sleeping. And maybe finally finishing my audiobook.

Happy Birthday! I am currently reading a Historical Romance by Gary Dickson, very good! It’s called An Improbable Pairing. It’s set in Paris in the 1960’s with a love affair that no one thinks should be happening. It’s really a great read, Dickson’s site is garydickson.us, he’s got more info on the book there if anyone needs a good rec!

Taking your birthday off to read and nap sounds glorious. I’m glad you were able to fit in some reading despite all the business lately!

Happy happy birthday, friend! I’d love to hear your views on Salt, especially — I read Gena/Finn by that author and enjoyed it but also had some notes on how it ended? So I haven’t been sure that I wanted to circle back around to her other books, and I am waiting to hear a verdict from someone whose taste I trust.

Did you catch my review of Salt? I actually wrote one that was timely as far as proximity between when I finished it and when I wrote it.

Yay Nora! I also can’t wait to hear about Aurora Rising. Happy Birthday! I hope your day is great with lots of rest and reading.

Thanks, Amanda! Nora was fantastic, as always, but the Kaufman/Kristoff collaboration is untouchable. Everything they write together is sheer geeky magic!
