The Sunday Post 1; It's Monday! What are you reading? 1

 

It’s been a minute (over a year) since I did a blog post, but I’ve decided I want to give my braincell some exercise, and writing is an excellent way for it to get its aerobics in.

 

Anyway.

The Sunday Post – a chance for a chat and a catch-up – is hosted by Kimberly, here: https://caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/ and It’s Monday! What are you reading? Is hosted by Kathryn, here: https://thebookdate.wordpress.com/2025/06/09/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-473/

 

Let’s see … I’m a bit rusty after so long. Some highlights:

• Son of Mine turned 18 in May. Somehow there is a fully grown adult living in my house. We had a family potluck lunch on the Sunday after his birthday, which was greatly enjoyed by all.
• I got a new car last month, a white Kia Sportage as my previous car – that I did love dearly – had been off the road for many months. So she was sold to a new owner.
• I think that’s it as far as highlights go.

I’m currently reading a non-fiction book called The Royal Wardrobe by Rosie Harte, which is a non-fiction look at royal history – specifically British royal history – through the lens of fashion. Each chapter or so is about a different monarch, so it’s not a deep dive, but it is interesting.

 

One of my goals this year was to finish The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King, and I’m not sure if I’m going to get there, although I’m nearly halfway through Wolves of the Calla, which is book 5, so we shall see. I’m also reading In Memoriam by Alice Winn, about two young men who fall in love against the backdrop of World War I. I’m loving it so far, but given the setting I’m braced for sadness.

 

How about you? How was your week? What are you reading?
