It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

badgeI haven't done this meme in genuinely forever! I used to love doing it because it was one of the best ways to find loads of new fun reads to lust after and to keep in touch with other bloggers. And then university hit me hard and Monday became the day where I had to do all the work I forgot during the weekend and basically I stopped doing these Monday posts. But now my degree is slowing down a little bit because it's research and dissertation time so I've decided to jump back into this meme! I'm slightly sad to see that Book Journey isn't hosting anymore, but am extremely happy to see that it's still being continued over on The Book Date!
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, let's see if I've still got the It's Monday mojo. Also, I've decided to try and make some fun book posters for this with Canva. If you have any very strong opinions about it (both positive and negative) please do let me know because I enjoy doing them but don't want to put them on here if no one likes it. I'm still fine-tuning my skills and I just notices some of the covers look a bit pixelated, so I'll work on that!

What I read/reviewed last week:

I didn't have a very successful week reading wise because I had an essay due last Friday, but I did manage to get 2 reviews out. I did enjoy Murder, She Wrote: Design for Murder but it was a bit too slow for me. I like my crime novels high-intensity. The Course of Love, however, was fascinating!



What I am reading at the present:

This week will, hopefully, be a week of catching up on books I really wanted to read in early April and which somehow got swept aside by life.


So, what do you think of my reads? And what are you reading on this fine Monday?

Leave a link to your post in the comments and I'll drop by!

  5. I considered Murder She Wrote as I used to love the show but I think it will be to mild for me now, I love an intense thriller these days.

    1. I loved the show as well but I think now it's definitely something for when the brain needs a break, which is not what I want when I sit down for a good thriller! Thanks for commenting :)

    1. It's such a good show, even though that's mainly down to Angela Lansbury I| think! Give the book a try if you want something not too intense! Thanks for commenting :)

  8. Nice to have you back in on the meme. Sounds like you had fun making the book posters, the only thing I would say is I'd prefer them the next size up. To appreciate your hard work even more.

  11. Looks like a good variety - most new to me.
    If the images are the "posters" I do like them. Someday I hope to find time to learn more creative skills.
    Thanks for visiting my blog.
    Happy Reading in between essays.
