Welcome to my Monday Musings. Hmm, I think it’s been about a month since my last recap? Wow, I have dropped the ball lately. I have a bunch of reviews to catch up with as well.

We had a wonderful camping trip to British Columbia at the end of August. The four of has had the best time and I adored all the time that we got to spend together. School is back and last week was the first full week. We all made it, but it was hard having to get up in the morning and doing work. Can you imagine that indignity? The weather had been nice and warm up until today and now the wind is certainly making itself known. The rest of this week’s forecast is rain, rain, and more rain.

In other excellent news, I was fortunate enough to win a signed book and other merch in the Mageri series read-along hosted by Books of My Heart.

And now on to the reading part of the post. (Mobile users – tap on the image of the book cover. PC users – just hover the mouse over the cover.)

DONE AND DUSTED

Today’s list is mostly made up of ARCs that I have finished reading, but haven’t gotten around to reviewing yet. The procrastination has been strong with this reviewer. The latest quickie reviews are here.

QUOTES THAT CAUGHT MY EYE

From Good Duke Gone Wild by Bethany Bennett: “What is that look for?” “What look? I didn’t do anything?” Waving her finger in the air in a vague sort of circle, Constance said, “Then your face just had an entire conversation without your knowledge.”

From Primal Mirror by Nalini Singh: Auden said, “Um.” She knew words. She knew lots of words. They were just unfortunately missing from her brain right now.
