My Reading Update: November 21st, 2020

 

Welcome to my reading update!  I'm going to post this on a few blog hops such as Stacking The Shelves run by Team Tynga's Reviews, and Sunday Post, run by Kimberly at Caffeinated Book Reviewer and a new Facebook group I've joined called The Sunday Salon

Seeing what other are reading (and finding a novel that everyone's talking about) is the reason I love looking at blog hop posts.  Please feel free to drop me a line and tell me what you're reading.

What a week it has been!  It's been a roller-coaster ride here in California.  We were all set to open up school with a hybrid model, on Monday. By Tuesday, our county went to the most restrictive (Purple) tier, and our plans for opening up schools were shuttled.  On Thursday, Governor Newsom issued a curfew to try and stop the spread of COVID-19.  It's getting scary out there, so a curfew is fine with me.  Whatever we can do , I'm in.

This has been a week of anxiousness about the virus.  So, what's the cure for my worries?  Books, of course!

I've been reading a lot, and acquired some exciting books.

What I'm Reading Now:




What I Finished This Week:





 

New Books on My Shelf:


 

I'm most excited to read A Promised Land, by Barack Obama.  I received this audiobook for review from Penguin Random House.  But, it is over twenty-nine hours long! Oh my gosh, this is going to take a while!

As you begin your weekend, I wish for you rest, relaxation and health.

Stay Safe!

My Reading Update: October 24th, 2020

 


Welcome to my reading update!  I'm going to post this on a few blog hops such as Stacking The Shelves run by Team Tynga's Reviews, and Sunday Post, run by Kimberly at Caffeinated Book Reviewer and a new Facebook group I've joined called The Sunday Salon

I've been trying to do more posts on my blog, so I'm posting a quick reading update for this week,  Books have been such a comfort these past few months.  Television is too filled up with political ads (the same three commercials for propositions in California are on repeat every few minutes), and most social media has been quite toxic.  So books are my happy place.  But aren't they always?


What I'm Reading Now:

 



I hope to be finished with Love Your Life by Sunday so I can write the darn review before its release on Tuesday!  So far, it's pretty light and fun.  I'm listening to The Vanishing Half, so I may finish it this weekend as well.


What I Finished This Week:

 


A Witch In Time was our book club selection and it was wonderful.  We had a lively discussion about it on Tuesday.

New Books On My Shelves:

 


There are a lot of wonderful books here.  But I am most excited about Over The Woodward Wall by A. Deborah Baker (a.k.a Seanan McGuire).  I absolutely love her writing.  It is so full of contrasts, usually with hopeful young people facing a dark world.  I am thrilled to buy this book and support this author.

That's it for this week.  Have a fun, pumpkin-filled run up to Halloween!
