It's Monday: What Are You Reading

 


Join the other folks over at Book Date to see who is reading what this week.  

I got great news Friday afternoon.  I passed the Louisiana Notary Public Examination.  Generally speaking, about 20% of the people who take the test pass it.  I'm feeling pretty proud of myself right now.  

I got caught up on my Bible in a Year podcast.  Last week we took a break from the Old Testament to read the Gospel of John, which is awesome.  Now we are back in 1 Samuel.  I'm not much of an audio book person but based on past experience, I doubt I would have made it this far through the Bible if I was just reading it.  

I stayed off of NetGally this week, so maybe I'll catch up eventually.  My goal this year is to read all the NetGalleys I request--at least far enough to leave some sort of feedback.  Right now I have 15 that I have not reviewed yet.  Of those, I've read one, there is another I'm about halfway through and will probably abandon and 1 I'm a few pages into but which isn't grabbing me.  Then there is the one I'm reading now, The Stepsisters by Susan Mallery.  

Here are the books I've reviewed recently:



Loved this cookbook (review) and I shared a recipe from it.  


This was a sweet romance though on the unrealistic side. 



I have a Girl Scout meeting Monday night during which we are going to make a video about Citizen Science but other than that, my evenings should be free for reading or blogging, so maybe I'll catch up a little.  So many books, so little time.

  4. Congratulations on passing the exam! I have quite a few on my NetGalley stack right now too. I read them in order of publication and the next ones aren't releasing until June 8. I feel like I have a lot of time but plan to start them soon. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

  5. Congratulations on passing the Louisiana Notary Public Exam! That is awesome and definitely worth feeling proud about. I am trying to focus on my NetGalley books too. I don't know that I'll make a dent in them, but I really need to stay away from the site for awhile--unless I'm adding reviews.

    Your Girl Scout project sounds fun! My daughter's troop is working on a Scribe badge at the moment. Writing is my daughter's least favorite activity to do, especially when it's assigned, but I think she's mostly done and will be ready to present on Friday when her troop meets for their Zoom meeting. I think she'd much prefer to be doing something science related. Haha.

    I hope you have a great week!

  6. I know indeed, so many books and my eyes are always bigger than can actually read. Congrats on passing the Notary Public Exam - I bet that involved lots of study.
