It's Monday! What are you reading? is a meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journeys.

You can participate by creating your post then visit one of their sites to add your site. Finally, visit at least three participant blogs and comment to spread the love.
If you want to know more about what I am reading, visit me at my Goodreads shelf. Cover images via Goodreads unless otherwise noted.
Last Week in Books:
I am exhausted. This past week has been emotionally draining. I am concerned about our country's future. One of the ways I have been finding peace has been reading. The books above have brought laughter, smiles, and sometimes they have simply helped me escape. I'm not going to explain them all because - exhaustion.
This Week in Books:
I'm
reading The Sun is Also a Star and Cloud and Wallfish. I also hope to start Stacey Lee's The Secret of a Heart Note. I wish you a wonderful week filled with great books.

I liked Cloud and Wallfish a lot, will watch to see what you think of The Sun Is Also A Star. Thanks, Crystal and hang in there! What a week-agreed!
ReplyDeleteI think so many of us feel the same right now. We're turning to writing to help us process what's been going on, and help inspire us to take action in whatever way is right for us.
ReplyDeleteI hear you... Every time I get on Twitter or turn on the tv... It's been hard.
ReplyDeleteI loved Beholding Bee, some great lines in there.
Beholding Bee is new to me...what a week, and there's more like it coming. Thank goodness for the escape books provide.
ReplyDeleteI also am a HUGE fan of Beholding Bee. Love to see it here. Oh, what a week indeed. I am in Canada and it has still been so hard and emotional. My soul aches.
ReplyDeleteYes to Beholding Bee! I finished up When the Sea Turned to Silver this week also. I really appreciated that jump into a different world last week as well as the reminding of the power of story tellers.
ReplyDeleteThe consolatory power of literature...
