It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This 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.
Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them.
What I am Reading Now:
I am super excited to FINALLY be reading The Shadows. I say finally because I had put this book on hold in September 2020 and it just now became available to me. So, yes I will reading this book as soon as I can (lunch today).
What I plan on reading this week:
Notice that I have only 2 books this week. I am finally feeling better and burned through the books that I had listed on last weeks WWW. I am hoping to add 4-5 more books when I am down with these two.

What I am Reading Now:
I have been reading Legacy for the past 4 days which is unlike me. But, I have had a resurgence of my bladder infection and reading has not been my agenda. Hopefully, I will be able to finish Legacy tonight, tomorrow at the latest (I am 26% into the book). So far, it is typical NR and I am loving it. Just not loving this super infection that is sapping my energy.
So, here they are!! Let me know if you have read any of these books and what you thought of them!!
What I plan on reading this week:
I have the same 4 books from last week to read this week. I have some catching up to do!!

What I am Reading Now:
I was super excited when I got the email that NetGalley had granted my wish. I have read a lot of reviews on this book and the good majority of them were good. Plus, the blurb made me want to read it. I started the first chapter last night and I am LOVING it!!
What I plan on reading this week:
This week, I have 1 ARC and 4 books from my TBR. I plan on reading them all this week (keeping my fingers crossed).

What I am Reading Now:
I am so excited to read this book!! I had originally gotten turned down for the ARC on NetGalley. It took a couple of years to realize that I could take it out digitally from the library (yes, I am not that great with technology outside of gaming…lol).
What I plan on reading this week:
I did get some books off last week’s IMWAR. And by some, I mean 1. I ended up with two loans coming off loan from the library and an ARC that I needed to read (the review is due tomorrow). I do plan on getting to these books this week!!

What I am Reading Now:
I am loving this book so much. I was laughing my ass off while reading it Saturday night (in bed at 12am). I couldn’t get enough of Layla, Zayne, and Roth. I should be finishing White Hot Kiss today.
What I plan on reading this week:
I plan on getting to most of these books this week. I definitely will be reading the first three (one NetGalley and two that have been sitting on my TBR for ages). I do have another book coming off hold from the library, at some point this week. When that happens, I will rearrange this list around.

What I am Reading Now:
I started The Last City of America last night and are about 18-20% into it. I am not sure how I feel about it. It goes between 1st person and 3rd person and the chapters are from the viewpoint of different characters in the book. The beginning was slow to start and it is still slow going right now. Hopefully it will pick up.
What I plan on reading this week:
This was a book that came off hold from the library. I am pretty excited to read it (any Regency/Victorian era romances are my jam) and hope to start reading within a couple of days.
I love Donna Grant and was super excited when SMP reached out to me with a review request for this book!! I can’t wait to read it.
Again, another SMP request (they are good to me!!). I was drawn in by the cover and the blurb cemented my decision. I grew up hearing about Ziegfeld Follies (my grandmother was a huge fan of their radio program). I am hoping that this book lives up to my expectations!!
These next 3 books are a “I might read if I get through the first book in record time” (its 627 pages). If I don’t get to them this week, I will next week.

What I am Reading Now:
I am having a really hard time getting through this book. Brina and Zane are not vibing with me. He has been coming across as pushy and somewhat stalkery. She has been coming off as almost too independent for the era (did I just say that!!!). There is sexual chemistry and Brina’s backstory with mental illness is interesting. So, yes, I am disappointed. But I am holding out for the book to become good (is that a thing?).
What I plan on reading this week:
Because of my illness (which started on Thursday), I didn’t read anything last week. I also added a couple of books to the pile that needs to be read this week….sigh. I am hoping to at least get through 2 (and if I’m lucky 3), this week. So, here’s my list. I am doing these books in priority order.
This is outside of books that I usually read. But the author had emailed me with a review request and the blurb caught my attention. So, here’s to hoping that I like it!!
I have pushed this book off so many times that I am starting to feel bad about it. So, I have made a pledge to myself: I will read this book this week. Here’s to hoping that I can keep it…lol.
Again, another book that I keep putting off. I am hoping to get to it at some point this week.
This is that last book that I have put off for a couple of weeks. While I expect to start it this week, I do not think I will finish it. The book is 647 pages long. It is going to take me at least 2 days to get through (and I am a fast reader).
I am a huge Donna Grant fan and when SMP contacted me to review this book, I jumped on it. Now, I might not get to this book this week but I will be reading it as it is an ARC.
This was another review request from SMP that I almost likely will not get to this week. Saying that, I cannot wait to read it. It sounds fantastic!!

What I am Reading Now:
The Death of Vivek Oji had been sitting on my NetGalley shelf for months before I decided to download it. I had originally wished for it but then went on my hiatus shortly afterwards. During that time, my wish got granted (go figure, my wishesNEVERget granted from there….lol). So, this book breaks my self-imposed NetGalley ban and I am glad to be back. I should be posting the review next week!!
What I plan on reading this week:
How to Train Your Earl was a publisher request that I decided to accept last week. This is my first ARC review since I went on break and I am excited about it!! I am a huge Regency/historical romance fan, so it was a no-brainer that I was going to accept this book. Since this is an ARC, my review will not be published right away. Look for it around April 27th!!
MacFarland’s Lass has been sitting on my TBR shelf on Goodreads since 2018. I was supposed to get to it a couple of weeks ago but got sidetracked by review requests/library books coming off hold.
Exploited is another book that has been sitting on my Goodreads TBR shelf since 2018. I got it in a mass purchase of free books with MacFarland’s Lass and The Last City of America.
The Last City of America is the last of my 2018 trio that are on this list. This is a HUGE book (647 pages) and I am hoping that I can at least start it by the weekend.
Have you read any of the books on my list? Let me know!!

What I am Reading Now:
I am about 20-25% into Sanyare: The Last Descendant. I would have been finished with it by now (and moved onto the next book on my list) but I had two books come off hold from the library: Girls of Paper and Fire (which I LOVED and read in 1 day) and The Sun is Also a Star. As soon as I am done with The Sun is Also a Star, I will resume reading Sanyare: The Last Descendant.
What I Plan on Reading This Week:
I think I bit off more than I can chew when selecting all of these books….lol. I am going to try and knock at least 2, maybe 3, books off this list. Wish me luck. And please, let me know what you’re reading this week!!
