It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?
Welcome to It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? This is a meme hosted by Sheila @ Book Journey; and I think it is great to start the week with what I’m reading right this minute, and what I’ll be reading (or planning on reading, anyway) for the rest of the week.
Please visit Sheila’s blog to sign up on her linky, that way you will have other Monday bloggers coming to visit you as well.
Last week, I read the following books:
Friends to Lovers by Christi Barth. This is a very sweet contemporary romance, and I really enjoyed reading it! I have a special spot in my heart for both friends to lovers and second chance at love stories, the characters were endearing and quirky, and it was a hot read! ★★★★☆
Targeted (Deadly Ops #1) by Katie Reus is the first book in a new series, and it’s extremely fast-paced, hot, funny and full of action! ★★★★☆
The Holdout by Laurel Osterkamp, a well-written story about a woman in her early thirties who participates in a ‘Survivor’-like reality show, and how she deals with things once the filming is over and she has to live with all the choices she made being on TV, and seeing her photo on the cover of magazines. ★★★★☆
Rekindled Dreams by Linda Carroll-Bradd is a sweet romance about two people who more or less grew up together, and when they meet again as adults, sparks fly. ★★★☆☆
Right now, I’m struggling with what to read next, I went a little click-happy on Netgalley, and actually got accepted for some ARCs I’m really looking forward to, and I have a back-log of ARCs to read as well. I think I’m going to go with
Crash Into You by Katie McGarry first, because I truly love this excellent NA romance series! And I can’t wait to read about Isaiah as the main character.
I didn’t get to all the books I had planned last week, so I might try to get to those this week.
Here’s what happened on (un)Conventional Bookviews this past week:

I know all about getting to click happy on Netgalley, especially since I am pre-approved for several different publishers..so those go straight to my kindle and if I don’t watch out..ugh..what I am already backlogged..lol. 🙂 I am trying really hard not to visit Netgalley till I get some read..lol.
LOL I tried (a little bit, not too hard) not to visit Netgalley as well, but there are some upcoming releases I’m really excited about, and Harlequin keeps sending me e-mails, too, with books they say they’ll approve me for if I request them 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Stormi 🙂

Yeah, Harlequin is one of those I am pre-approved for so I can just go and get one any time I want..so it makes it hard not too..especially since I like Christmas romances!! 🙂
It’s those Christmas romances that did me in, Stormi 😀
It’s funny that when we decide to get click happy with books on Netgalley, they suddenly all get approved at once! Haven’t had that happen in awhile since it’s been awhile when I was click happy, but I did go a little click happy last week with a few free/cheap kindle reads!
Here’s my Monday Wrapup
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I know, right? Usually I only get accepted for one or two books, but there bam! several at once 🙂 I’m really excited though, because all are books I really want to read 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
I had a great reading weekend. Lots of great reading done. And next weekend, with readathon, is sure to be the same.
Here’s my It’s Monday!
Oh, a readathon sounds awesome, Deb! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Looks like you had a pretty awesome reading week – and I’ve seen excellent reviews for Crash Into You – so hopefully you’ll love that one too.
I can’t wait to read Crash Into You! I loved the two other books in the series!
Thanks for stopping by Tanya 🙂
I’ve enjoyed the Katie McGarry series way more than I thought I would, and I can’t wait for Crash Into You! I’m on auto approve with so many on NetGalley it’s dangerous! I try not to visit too often as I have no capacity for restraint lol
Have a great week and happy reading 🙂
LOL us readers normally have no restraint when it comes to acquiring new books! Thanks for stopping by!
The Holdout reminds me of a book I recently read about what happens after a reality show…it was called Sink or Swim.
You have some tempting books…enjoy!
Here’s MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
Now I’m intrigued about Sink or Swim! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Ahh Netgalley, so pretty, so evil! Good luck with picking your next read.
Oh yes, that describes Netgalley perfectly, Ciska 😀 Thanks for stopping by!
So many books! I haven’t read any of them. 🙂
I’m reading The Monstrumologist, by Rick Yancey and it’s good so far. Have you heard it?
I have never heard of The Monstrumologist, I’m glad you’re enjoying it, Athina.
Thanks for stopping by.
This Monday I am getting very near the conclusion of Hercule Poirot’s Christmas. I love Agatha Christie. The way clues are layered subtly throughout the story and the conversations with M. Poirot (or Miss Marple or…).
Happy reading!
I agree, Agatha Christie was a fabulous writer, and both Miss Marple and M. Poirot are among my favorite characters ever 🙂
Have a great week Xyra. “hugs*
Her Tommy and Tuppence are pretty cool too. I have yet to read any Parker Pyne. 🙂
Crash Into You is on my review stack too. I have been getting a little click happy at NetGalley too. Come see my Monday Report. Have a great week!
Kathy, I hope you’ll enjoy Crash Into You as much as I do! It’s awesome.
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I can’t wait to read your review of Crash into You. (and to read it myself) 🙂 I’m reading In Harmony right now and I don’t want to put it down!! I am loving it. Can’t wait to chat about it once I’m finished.
Happy Monday, Lexxie. I hope you have a great week! *hugs*
*sighs* Crash Into You is just one of those books that has it all!
I’m so happy you’re enjoying In Harmony, and we need to have a ‘date’ on FB chat 😉
Thanks for stopping by, have a great week yourself, Brandee. *hugs*
