It's Monday! What are you reading?

Claire Louisa

February 12

First seen over on Book'd Out I'm going to try to do this post regularly linking to It's Monday! What are you reading? at BookDate.

I'm slowly catching up with my ARCs which is good, a couple more reviews to catch up on in the next couple of days, so keep your eyes open for those, I updated last week's post with review links for the books I'd finished.

This week I finished listening to

Growing Up Queer in Australia

I started reading this but had to take it back to the library so I borrowed the audiobook on BorrowBox instead. This is my first book for the Nonfiction Readers Challenge and I will do up a post for that this week.

I finished reading

Stepbrother Mine by Felicity Snow (ARC) Review to come

Oblivious by Ashlynn Mills (ARC) Review to come

Thorn Evermore by Mia Monroe (ARC) Review to come

Not as much reading as I'd hoped but happy to have these ones finished, they were all very good reads. I'm continuing on with Cry of the Firebird by TM Clark, I'm at 89% and no matter what, I will finish it this week.

I'm also continuing with

Snowy Mountains Dawn (Bundilla Novels #4) by Alissa Callen (ARC) I'm at 62% so this should also be finished this week.

Candy Hearts Vol 1 - LGBTQIA2S+ Charity Anthology (ARC)

I'm also going to be reading

Easy Does It by K.M Neuhold (ARC)

Icebound Rivals by Hayden Hall (ARC)

I'm listening to

To the Moon and Back by NR Walker

I only have 2 hours left of this one, it's only a short book but I haven't decided what I am listening to next. The book I was going to listen to for my book club had triggers in for me and I couldn't get past the first chapter, so it will be a surprise for all of us what I choose next.

I am excited and a bit overwhelmed as I got into the course I'd applied for, I'll be doing my Cert 4 in Mental Health which starts in 2 weeks, On top of that I'm doing rehearsals for the City of Joondalup Community Festival Choir, I've never sung in my life so it's an interesting learning curve. I've done two rehearsals with 5 more to go before the performance on the 17th March.

I had my art lesson on Friday as I usually do and really liked how my painting turned out so put it in a frame and hung it on the wall. I also did some painting over the weekend doing several small watercolours and my last painting for my Progressive art group something I've loved being a part of for the past 3 months.
