It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? – 18 December 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! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I managed to finish two books last week besides the one I was reading last Monday. I just started a Christmas audiobook and one of the books I got from the holiday book exchange I did with some bookish/author friends…
Last Week I Read:Shadows of You by Catherine Cowles
This was such a good read! It’s book 4 in this series but can be read as a standalone. I can’t wait to binge this author’s backlist!
The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins
I loved this one! The setting was great, there was plenty of familial drama, and oh, the twists! This author is definitely one of my favorites.
How to Sell A Haunted House by Grady Hendrix
I love that this book, along with the two others I’ve read by him, were set in Charleston. This was such a bizarre read I’m still processing it. My review will be up sometime this week.
Currently Reading:Hercule Poirot’s Christmas by Agatha Christie
Just in time for Christmas I’ve started Hercule Poirot’s Christmas. I’ll probably be finished before next Monday but I’m planning a hiatus from posting next week for the holidays.
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
I’m about 2/3 through this one and loving it! My friend Natalie gifted it to me along with two other books for our holiday book exchange! I’ve been dying to read it but I seem to be on a perpetual 6 month hold through the library so I’m grateful to have my own copy. I’ve been splitting time between the audiobook when I can listen (thanks to my Spotify premium subscription) and the paperback when I can’t.
On Deck (Next Up):Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore (Reread)
My annual New Year’s Eve rereading of Texas Gothic.
Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
At 28 hours, 16 minutes listening time (even played at 2x speed) I will not finish this one before the end of the year, but at least I’ll get started!
What are you reading this week? What do you think your last book of 2023 will be?
