It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (5-29-17)

Hosted by The Book Date

Happy Memorial Day! If you haven't yet watched PBS's annual Memorial Day concert, you should. It's such a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made in order to allow us to live in freedom. My mom and I watch it together every year, and every year we cry our eyes out. It's always so inspiring! The concert is streaming here on the PBS website.

As I predicted a few weeks ago, I haven't been doing much reading (or blogging) lately. In fact, the only reason I'm posting this today is that I promised myself I wouldn't touch the yearbook today, as it's a paid holiday. My goal has always been to finish the yearbook by the end of May, but it's looking like it probably won't happen. Unfortunately. Because I am sooooooo ready to send it off to the publisher.

Anyway, as I said, I haven't been doing much reading, but I do want to highlight a couple of the books I've finished since I last posted three weeks ago ... because one of those books is my favorite book of the year so far!

What I've read recently:

True to You by Becky Wade. I always love Becky Wade's books, and True to You is no exception. It contains Wade's trademark chemistry-filled romance, but it also delves into deeper, heart-wrenching waters. It's definitely one of the best things she's ever written! (5 stars) 

What Hope Remembers by Johnnie Alexander. This is the third book in Alexander's Misty Willow series. I really enjoyed the first two books; while this book was good, it didn't quite live up to the others. (3 stars)

You'll Think of Me by Robin Lee Hatcher. I really enjoyed this romance, set in Thunder Creek, Idaho. I don't know if Hatcher is planning to return to the setting, but I hope she does! (4 stars)

What I'm reading now:

If I'm Found by Teri Blackstock. The only reason I picked this up today is it's my day off of yearbook :-) I very quickly read the first 100 pages—it looks to be just as engaging as If I Run, which I loved.

What I'll read next:

Once I finish up the yearbook, I'll have to dive into INSPY reading. You can see that list of books here.

I hope you've had a great reading week and a wonderful Memorial Day! I'd love to hear what you're reading now or your thoughts on any of these books. Let's chat in the comments!
