Weekly Book Recap

As one week ends and another begins, it's time to share my latest reading updates with these weekly memes. . .

 

. . .   Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly at Caffeinated Reviewer, The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz, Stacking the Shelves hosted by Marlene at Reading Reality and It's Monday! What Are You Reading? hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date . . .

 

It's been a somewhat slow reading week for me. Although the weather is very conducive to curling up with a book (we've had seven straight weekends of rain), I suspect it's because I've devoted more of my time to knitting. I was never more than a beginner when I learned the basics as a pre-teen, so it's a huge learning curve getting back into it. But I've got the support of a crafty group and some very experienced coworkers to help me along.

Above is a scarf in progress, one of the easier projects I've undertaken to get me back into the swing of things.

Finished reading . . .

 

First book in the new California Bookshop mystery series. My review will be posted on October 24th as part of a blog tour.

I used to participate regularly in both of these memes in the early years of my blog. But as life in general got busier, I found myself cutting way back on my weekly blog posts. This past week, I celebrated Book Club Librarian's eleven year blogaversary and thought it would be fitting to return to Sunday memes. I missed all of you and am happy to be back!

Weekly Book Recap #108: Blogoversary Edition

It's hard to believe I've been blogging for three years . . .

. . . and although I currently don't post as often as I used to, I feel strongly connected to the many bloggers I've come to know along the way.  I've learned so much from you and about you, and consider you good friends who brighten my day whenever I check in.  You've shared fabulous book and series suggestions for my ever-growing TBR list; thoughtful, witty, and heart-felt comments; and innovative ideas.  Thanks to all of you for your warmth and generosity.

Now, for a look at the books I'm reading and have added to the queue this week . . .

Weekly Book Recap #107

 

Judging by the weather in these parts, summer has made an early appearance.  We've had mostly hot, hazy, humid days during the week, and the first 90+ degree day of the year.  It's hard to acclimate to warmer temperatures when things accelerate so fast, and I'm still hoping there will be a few more spring-like days on the horizon.  Uh oh . . . it sounds like I'm complaining, much like I did earlier this year when the weather was very cold and snowy.   All right, I am complaining, because I'm not a fan of weather extremes.

Enough of that.  On to today's post, where I'm recapping my books from Book Expo.  This post is being shared with the Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

 
The Marriage of Opposites, Nine Lives, Everything She Forgot


The Beautiful Bureaucrat, Crooked Heart, Thin Air


What Doesn't Kill Her, Infinite Home, Jade Dragon Mountain
