It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile!
It's Monday is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date.
This past week, it's like I discovered GOLD, as in book podcasts and I am addicted to Book Riot's podcasts, so I've been busy listening to back episodes and then writing down all kinds of new books that I want to read.
I must have been hiding my head in the sand to never have listened to these podcasts before!
They are amazing!
Just what I need tho--more books on my TBR list! They just sound so good!
While I know that my reading includes a wide range of genres, I don't read these two genre's much:
Fantasy and/or Sci-Fi
Historical Romance
I feel I should now as there were a couple of podcast episodes where they praise them.
Do you have any good recommendations for these genres?
Yes, I'm talking to YOU!
Also, I am now intrigued by sub-genres. (because they talk about them in the podcasts also)
Like Regency vs Victorian vs Gothic in Historical Romance.
It's because I'm a nerd---but I want to do a book club study and read the three different types and then talk about them. Not that I have enough time to do another book club, nor would anyone I know here (in my real life) want to join me. But I can dream, can't I?
So...back to the subject at hand! What have I been reading?
Well.....
Last week I finished:
And this week I'm going to read:
(I've already started a couple of them, and I think they'll be some great reads!)
Happy Reading Week!

I love the BookRiot podcasts! I listen to one about new releases every Tuesday and it's deadly to my TBR! I have a vague memory of reading Dicey's Song. I remember liking it but nothing else so it's one I should revisit.
The Nightingale is supposed to be SO good. :)
I loved the Cynthia Voigt books as a kid. Is it your first time reading them?
I have yet to get into podcasts. Remembering to listen to my audiobooks is enough of a challenge for me. LOL
Into the Darkest Corner is so good! That one had me checking the locks on my doors frequently longer after I finished the book.
I like your idea of sampling and then comparing the different types of historical romance. It'd be interested to hear what your findings are if you do decide to give it a try.
Enjoy your books!
Dicey's Song is awesome! It pulls at your heart strings and really shows a different side to life for a child.
I really like podcasts, but I am horrible at keeping them up!
Carl listens to car and technology podcasts but I'm trying to be strong and stay away from them since I can hardly keep up with what I do now. I don't have any recommendations for those genres.
Nice books, and I hope you enjoy your podcasts!!

ENJOY the rest of this reading week.
