It’s Monday, what are you reading?—a weekly blog meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
Wow, last week of February already. It’s been kind of a tough month, just super busy and stressed out. Surprisingly, I’ve been able to squeeze in a lot more reading than I expected. I’m still working on Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley and Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler, but started a couple of others anyway… somehow I ended up with four books on my plate at once again!
Continuing my Ebook Challenge this month I chose Rivers by Michael Farris Smith, a post-apocalyptic novel set in the near future, taking place in the South (US) ravaged by near-constant rainstorms and hurricanes.
Finally, to keep up with the KC Library’s Love on the Rocks Adult Winter Reading Program, I picked up Dept. of Speculation by Jenny Offill. It’s a free-form sort of novella that is taking a little bit of getting used to but I’m compelled to find out to this unnamed protagonist in her marriage and experience of motherhood.
What are you reading this week?

This week: The Glass Sentence by S.E. Grove.

Helluva exercise in world-building.
Wow, that looks intense and really engrossing. Enjoy!
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.
I checked this out on Goodreads and it looks really interesting! Hope you’re enjoying it 🙂
I’ve heard so many great things about Rivers by Michael Farris Smith, I hope it lives up to the hype
It’s great so far! Kind of reminds me of The Road but maybe not quite as depressingly bleak and hopeless.
I remember adding Rivers to my wishlist last year, I hope you enjoy it.
Have a great week!
I am so far! Although I don’t think I’ll quite finish before the end of the month, like I wanted to. Oh well!
