It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? – 28 August 2023

#IMWAYR is a weekly meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at The Book Date.

Hey Bookdragons! It was another slow reading week. I set aside the book I was reading last Monday and started and set aside two other books before coming back to the original book. Do you ever have a week where nothing you’re reading is capturing your attention?

What I Read Last Week:Psyche and Eros by Luna McNamara

The cover of Psyche and Eros is gorgeous and I was about 70 pages in when I set it down but it was such a slow, boring read and I was really tired this past week so I couldn’t really enjoy it.

Smokeshow by Abbi Glines

I set this one down after less than a page. I just was not in the mood for another one of Abbi Glines’s dumb virginal heroines who falls for some possessive a-hole especially since this is her “southern mafia” series she’s been cranking out about one book every two weeks all summer. Not sure why I bought this book.

Currently/Still Reading: Always Mine by Laura Pavlov

Like I said, I was reading Always Mine but set it down because the male MC’s sister was being a total brat and if she was going to be like that the whole book I wasn’t going to get into that. So I tried Psyche and Eros and Smokeshow… and ended coming right back and once I got past that section I got back into the book. I’m still less than 30% in but hoping to finish it this week.

Next Read & On the Horizon:

I’m still planning on listening to the audiobook of Hallowe’en Party next as I mentioned. I can even start it when I have time to listen to an audiobook but not read a physical book/eBook this week.

Vampires of El Norte is the September book for the Big Bad Booty B*tches Book Club I recently joined and I’m actually chomping at the bit to start it.

What are you reading and loving this week? Have you read any of these? How do you pull yourself out of a book rut?
