Category: It’s Monday What Are You Reading

  Well, somehow I’ve gone from struggling to get through a single book over weeks to zooming through a record amount in no time at all! I suppose it’s the intoxicating feeling of being able to read anything I want after four months of prize reading (not that I didn’t enjoy the prize reading – READ MORE

  I have had a great reading week. Seriously, it’s been pretty fantastic. I’ve found a new favourite book, I’ve re-read a favourite modern classic, I’ve found a funny book about mental illness (I know it sounds weird, but humour is my coping mechanism, so the worse the situation, the more inappropriate humour I employ READ MORE

  This is the first time in a while I’ve done a Monday post, largely because I haven’t been finishing books every week. So let me catch you up on all the (2) books I finished since last time I did one of these! Just Shelved              The last three books READ MORE

  I’ve only finished one book in the past week, so I don’t have much new to report! Much of this week’s post will be the same as last week, as the book I finished I added in on spec and the books I was reading before it I’m still reading. It was a corker READ MORE

  It’s been a little while since I’ve done a Monday post, so I’m going to include everything I’ve read since the last one! I haven’t finished any books in this past week, so these are all historic. Just Shelved:       Both of these were for the last round of the BookTube Prize, READ MORE

  It’s been a few weeks since I remembered to do a Monday post, so I’m going to just include everything I’ve read since the last one. Here we go:   Just Shelved:   .    .    .      .      Most of these I read for the BookTube Prize, so I READ MORE

  Finished one or two more books in the past few weeks to catch you up on. A couple of really cracking reads, and a couple other great ones underway! Just Shelved     The 1619 Project was excellent. It’s based on the article that was originally published in The New York Times, and expands READ MORE

  Okay, so it has been MONTHS since I did a Monday post. September. No idea how it went that long, because I did read at least a few books in September and October. But I then went into my hibernation mode and didn’t finish a single book for three months. It’s been that way READ MORE

  Slightly better reading week than last week, though still not as good as the week before! I managed to finish four books, and am part way through a couple more. I even really enjoyed them!   Just shelved:                   I have been hearing great things about Aristotle and READ MORE

  This week wasn’t as good a reading week as lat week. Not even close. I tried several books, but I had a hard time getting one to stick. I finally settled on the one below, but that was pretty much it! Just shelved:     I had heard really mixed reviews of this one READ MORE

  I’ve had probably the most prolific reading week ever this week. I managed to get through seven books in as many days, something I don’t think I can claim to having managed in the past! I have no idea why or how. But I definitely enjoyed it! There were even some new favourites in READ MORE

  I didn’t have the best reading week – I’m not really sure why, I just wasn’t in the mood to read as much as usual. But I did finish one book early this morning, and it’s one from my TBR list last week! Yay! Just shelved:     I enjoyed Harold Fry. It wasn’t READ MORE

  I had a decent reading week this week. I finished a couple of books I’ve been working on for a while, and I really enjoyed one of this week’s reads in particular. Just shelved:               I loved Alone Together. It’s a selection of writings by various authors from the US READ MORE

  I’ve had a great reading week this week. Mostly because of one book, a book that I only recently discovered, but that was exactly what I needed to read right now. Read on to find out which one it was! Just shelved:             We Are Not Free is an incredibly READ MORE

  I had a hard time sticking with one book this week, the result being that while I did do some reading, I only finished one book. But it was a great one!   Just shelved:     This is the third Angie Thomas book I’ve read, and I have to say, the woman cannot READ MORE

  I didn’t manage to finish quite as many books this week as I did last week, but I still did a bit of reading. I also managed to get outside a little bit – had a family day with sprinkler and wading pool and take-out dinner on my in-laws’ patio – which was great. READ MORE

  So it’s been a while since I finished any books to include in a Monday post. Three weeks, to be precise. But this week I somehow managed to dive headfirst back into reading, and finally have something to report! Possibly enough to make up for the gap. Just shelved:            READ MORE
