It’s Monday, What Are You Reading? Is hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date, a great place to meet up and share your reading plans for the week. I love finding new blogs and new books – and a link-up that helps me do both? Sign me up!
The next few weeks are going to be insane! Currently, I have 25 books to get through and I just received another pick-up notice from my library yesterday! I really need to stop doing this to myself, but every time I log into their website, I come away with at least 5 new holds. Please tell me I’m not alone in this!
Since a few of my books are due back this week, I’ve had to put The Ballroom on the back burner, but I did end up finishing The House Upon the Dirt Between the Lake and the Woods by Matt Bell! I also finished two audiobooks this week – Ever the Hunted by Erin Summerill and Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco. Audio was definitely the right choice for both! For me, Ever the Hunted was a solid 3.5 stars due to the romantic elements. I wish there was more of an explanation of the magic system, but being book one in a new series, there’s always the promise of more later. Stalking Jack the Ripper wasn’t quite what I expected, but I loved being surprised by the final twist! Look for reviews soon!
This week I’m hoping to read White Is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi and Delicious Foods by James Hannaham, both due on Wednesday! Eeek!

I’m a librarian who doesn’t use the library. Most of my books are for review with a few purchases. I like that I don’t face deadlines for reading books if I own them. It takes a lot of pressure off. You can see my week here. Happy reading!

Snacks! I knew I forgot something! Haha hopefully I don’t get pulled into too much reality tv this week, or I’ll never get any reading done! Have a great week!
