It's Monday, What Are You Reading (183)



It's Monday, What Are You Reading is a fun weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey where we share what we've read and reviewed over the past week and what we plan to read next.

This week I was not as motivated in my reading. I finished Love by the Morning Star but after that I couldn't commit to just one book. I am making progress on the audio book I am listening to but I kept jumping from e-book to e-book and even read a little bit of a library book but nothing completely captures my attention. I hate when that happens.

I also have my masquerade murder mystery dinner library program coming up soon and I still have quite a bit of work to do so I spent some hours getting ideas and visiting local craft stores today when I otherwise might have read. The program is a lot of work but it is also kind of fun to put together. Next time however I think I will downsize it. I have 30 people attending which is amazing but kind of scary too.


Books reviewed:


Mambo in Chinatown by Jean Kwok
Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson


Books read:


Love by the Morning Star by Laura L. Sullivan

This book is kind of silly but also entertaining to read. There were times when the silliness just became annoying so I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped.


Currently listening to:


The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan (reread)


What I plan to listen to next:


The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan (reread)

  1. A masquerade murder mystery- how fun. I bet it's a LOT of work but probably so worth it. Hope it goes well, sounds like a great time.

  2. We all have that dull (?) reading moment, I guess. I haven't listened to audio books before, but I really want to try them. :)

    Oh and that masquerade murder mystery dinner sounds fun! Good luck! :)

  7. Wow- a murder masquerade party sounds pretty awesome. Good luck with all the planning. I hear you about not being able to read/commit to a book…I have felt like that lately too.
