This was a rainy week. Very muggy. Is it July already? Doesn't feel like it. I need more sun and more heat. I know some of you are sweltering hot where you are. I guess we have to be happy with whatever we get.
Having two teens in the house is a bit challenging for a mom who works from home, but it's great to see my kids enjoying their time off and not stressed. Hope you all have a great reading week!

I bought this one on sale on Kindle. Set against the beautiful backdrop of post-World War II Sardinia, Sara Alexander’s evocative novel is a sweeping story of star-crossed romance between an American lieutenant and a local girl.
This was a free Kindle. It's a Bollywood-style royal romance that takes you to an alternate East Indian world filled with skyships, saber duels, and lots of royal intrigue.
Bought on sale on Kindle. A princess becomes a warrior, indulges in forbidden romance, and rules an empire in an epic fantasy saga inspired by Aladdin and the 1001 Arabian Nights.
Bought on sale on Kindle. It's a time travel novel. You know me and my time travel obsession. Can't resist.

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 organise yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.

Sorry to hear the weather hasn't been great for you. It hasn't been the best where I am either expect the past two days which have been pretty nice. Hope the weather picks up for you!!
ReplyDeleteYeah...it's been a strange summer so far. Thank goodness for good books!
DeleteIt's been raining a lot here too. In fact it downpoured today several times! And it's been a little cooler than we're used to- kind of a weird summer so far.
ReplyDeleteA Thief in time looks good. Time travel is always a draw. :)
Looks like we have the same kind of weather. A Thief in Time has a great cover too. :-)
DeleteA Thief in Time looks cool. As long as it isn't freezing I am ok with the weather..LOL Enjoy your new books. I work from home too, so I understand the love of peeps underfoot :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love that expression...the love of peeps underfoot! :-)
DeleteI hope the weather changes for you. Drama camp was a hit with my daughter. My son is doing well with cross country. And our big move is less than two weeks away! Come see what I've been reading
ReplyDeleteMe too! Glad you and your kids are having a great summer.
DeleteHeard some good things about Kiss Carlo so thinking will need to read it, will just take a peek at your review.
ReplyDeleteIf you've liked her other books, then you'll definitely enjoy this one.
DeleteI hope you enjoy your new books. I'm not familiar with the authors but I'll check them out. Thank you for sharing. Happy reading. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Geybie!
DeleteI'm not quite sure what Bonjour Kale would be about- but it seems interesting nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteA memoir about moving to Paris and introducing Parisians to kale!
DeleteOooh the Kingdom Saga looks good! Definitely need to look into that one! Hope its a good week of reading for you :)
ReplyDeleteI was in a fantasy kind of mood when I bought my books this week. :-) Can you tell I'm itching for a good escape book?
DeleteWe also have rainy weather at the moment and it is dreadfully cold! A thief in time sounds interesting. Hope it is!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading and enjoy your week.

So we're not the only ones with bad weather. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOur weather finally turned into summer, but it is to rain a lot this week.
ReplyDeleteI am glad everyone is having a stress free summer :) ENJOY the time with your teenagers.
I like the looks of bonjour kale. :)
Have a great week, Laura.

I'm loving Bonjour Kale so far!
DeleteI can't believe the year is half over either. The heat and the humidity are rough down here right now.
ReplyDeleteUnder a Sardinian Sky looks really good.
I understand what you're saying about kids at home being distracting. It can be tough to feel like you spend enough time with them and still get anything accomplished for work. I would ship you some heat and sun from the Outer Banks but seems like we would ship thunderstorms with it too. Every day we have a storm. Enjoy your books.

I don't mind thunderstorms. They come and go. Enjoy your vacation!
DeleteHard to believe we're in July already. I think Under a Sardinian Sky sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteThird Daughter looked so good I went to Amazon and added it to my Kindle. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to having teens in the house. They're nothing if not distracting. :-)

Yeah...and my son is into slime making...my poor kitchen.
DeleteBonjour Kale looks tempting...and so does Kiss Carlo. Enjoy your week, and thanks for sharing. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to muggy. Hope your weather gets nicer so you can get more sun.
ReplyDeleteYou picked up some fun books this week, skyships and Arabian nights. And of course - time travel. I am not familiar with Kindlemovie. Are they movies, not books? Whichever, I hope you enjoy. Happy Reading!
Oops! "Kindlemovie" was a typo. All the titles are Kindle books.
DeleteEnjoy your new books. It's hard working at home with a kid who is just fresh out of kindergarten. Are you telling me it doesn't get better...lol
ReplyDeleteIt does get better, but teens need supervision too. And encouragement to get off their butts and get their chores done.
DeleteI love how you find all these time-travel novels. I like them too, but I prefer the science-y ones.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that they find me. :-)
