#bookreport & #weeklyforecast
#finished: I finished quite a number of books this past week, due in large part to #deweysreadathon that was held on Saturday and the fact that I had two book club meetings last week (finished my other book last week). Reviews of these books will be forthcoming this week.

#currentlyreading: still plugging away at The Kingdom and will be picking up The Essex Serpent again this week (just a really busy reading time)

melissajayne #upcomingreads: I am planning on starting The Women, Legends and Wolf Hall this coming week. I hope to try to combine my apartment cleaning/packing with my reading as much as possible.

Hope you all have a wonderful week of reading.📚

#bookreport & #weeklyforecast
#finished: I finished A House in the Sky and really liked it (I will be posting a review in the next couple of days)

#currentlyreading: Read quite a bit this past week, as I spent the wee hours of Saturday morning finishing up A House in the Sky. I also spent quite a bit of Saturday reading The Kingdom, The Power, and The Glory and feel like this will need a reread at some point. I hope to either finish or continue

melissajayne reading the other books that I have in my currently reading pile, in addition to doing some more cleaning out of my apartment.

#upcomingreads: I have to read Fried Green Tomatoes for a book club meeting this week and judging by the chapters, I feel like it should be a fairly quick read. I do plan on working on Wolf Hall.

Happy reading 📚

SarahBookInterrupted I have had Wolf Hall on my bookshelf for 2 years. A friend gave it to me. It‘s so big and I just haven‘t started it because I‘m trying to determine if it will be a slow or quick read. My mother came for Christmas and read it in 3 days but she is an incredibly fast reader. She liked it, but that was all the insight I got. Are you finding it a quick engaging read or is it a slow read and I‘ll need some real time to get into it? 2w
melissajayne @SarahBookInterrupted I read it within the last ten years and I think it took me awhile to get through it, but mind you I am a slow reader. I found it to be a slower read, as there are a lot of characters that are written into the book (there is a character list that is several pages long). 1w
SarahBookInterrupted @melissajayne Thanks, that‘s what I thought. It might have to be a summer read for me when I have more time. I appreciate it! 1w

#bookreport & #weeklyforecast
#finished: A very productive week. I finished Flowers of the Killer Moon and just finished Indigo (my review will be up in the next day or two).

#currentlyreading: I am down to two books at the moment (Northwoods and The Essex Serpent), but will likely be starting a couple of the #upcomingreads in the next few days.

Continued below...

melissajayne Upcoming reads: I will be starting Cutting and 100 year old man this week, as they are both book club reads. I hope to start working on Last Mission to Tokyo this coming week as well, depends on how I am feeling.

Happy reading 📚

#finished: I got three books completed this past week and feel quite pleased with myself. I really liked Prequel, but was a bit disappointed with A Man Called Ove.

#currentlyreading: I am continuing to plod a long with The Alice Network, but am still enjoying it. Started Killers and The Essex Serpent.

Continued below...

melissajayne #upcomingreads: I hope to start Indigo and Seven Up this coming week and pick up Last Mission to Tokyo again.

Happy reading 📚

#bookreport & #weeklyforecast
#finished: Finally finished a book this week! Yay! I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading Lattes & Legends sometime soon.

#currentlyreading: still working on Prequel (almost done it, but its a slower read than I expected) and The Alice Network (I am enjoying the Eve sections, but the Charlie sections seem slower). Started A Man Called Ove and really like it.

Continued below...

melissajayne #upcomingreads: Will start Meet Me at the Lake, as it is a book club read (as is Ove). Am planning on starting Indigo for the Book Cougars readalong meetup in a few weeks and will pick up and hopefully finish Last Mission (not much left in the book) this coming week. I will hopefully start Seven Up and The Essex Serpent.

I also got The Women by Kristin Hannah yesterday evening and really want to start that as well.

Happy reading 📚

#finished: Didn't finish anything this past week; think reading a lot early last week impacted on that.

#currentlyreading: I am still continuing to read Prequel and The Alice Network and I started reading Bookshops and Bonedust

#upcomingreads: like my previous weeks, I am hoping to work on these two, provided I finish either prequel or The Alice Network early on in the week.

Happy reading 📚

#bookreport: nothing was finished this past week; didn't read much due to not feeling well 🤒

#weeklyforecast
#CurrentlyReading: I have a bookclub coming up on Saturday for the Half-Blood Prince and am still in the midst of Order of the Phoenix. Still slogging through Last Mission and am hoping to finish All the Quiet Places

#upcomingreads: These two are bookclub books, one of which I will not be attending due to not feeling well.

melissajayne I am planning on reading it, as its been on my TBR list since about 2007. Fortunately, Half-Blood Prince is one of my favourite reads, so that shouldn't be hard to read in a few days. 5mo

I apologize for this being a bit late. Life got a little busy at the end of last week.

#bookreport: Finished three books last week; two were a bit of a slog for me and the other one I just had to finish.

#currentlyreading: This week I need to really focus on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, my least favourite book in the series. The other books are a huge maybe, as are the #upcomingreads. Happy reading everyone.⤵️

melissajayne I am planning to start putting up reviews on my blog once again; I haven't done it for over three years. And I am planning on doing affiliate links on the blog, just to earn a little extra money. I am not expecting to make a ton of money, just enough to buy a new book or two or put some money on my Starbucks card. I am going to be realistic about this endeavour and if I get better at it, maybe I will think about doing Patreon at a later date. (edited) 13mo

#bookreport Finished one last book for 2022; I listened more than read A Christmas Carol; may just listen to my Audible copy narrated by Tim Curry next Christmas.

#weeklyreport Continuing with the #littlehouse readalong and with the Maggie Haberman book on 45.

#upcomingreads Mrs. England is a library book club read and shouldn't take me long to read. Jane Austen Project is for a readalong; Alice Network, Poldark and Instructions r #roll100 ⬇️

melissajayne I am hoping that God Rest Ye Royal Gentlemen won't take too long. I am still fighting exhaustion from recovery, but I have a feeling that staying up late isn't helping either. 1y
Cinfhen Hope 2023 brings you strength and peace!!! And lots of quality reads!!! Looks like you‘re off to a good start 🤩 1y
melissajayne @Cinfhen I hope it does as well. I have my final reconstruction surgery scheduled for sometime in April & it won‘t be as an intense recovery as my mastectomy was last year. And I‘m not undergoing chemo or radiation treatments, so my body will be able to heal properly. Thanks. 1y
Cinfhen Thank GD. You just need to stay cold free until April 🙏🏻 1y
melissajayne @Cinfhen well that won‘t happen; was sick in October with a sore throat and then in November when my parents and I were heading home from my Mexican vacation. 1y
