Sunday Post March 20, 2022/It's Monday! What are You Reading? Plus Mailbox Monday March 21 2022

I am linking with Sunday Post at Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? now at The Book Date (at Wordpress)

What Are You Reading? is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

The week was busy. I felt my trial on Friday went well but we will need to return for another hour or so for the Defendant's last witness.

Hubby seemed better this week although he still spends a few hours up in the middle of the night. He made it to Sunday School and church services, then huffed and puffed at the grocery store rather than giving me a list. (Men can be stubborn.).  

No new photo but I had one come up in memory from March 2018.
Sometimes I wish we still had our little chickens.

I continue to pray for the people and situation in Ukraine and for world leaders.
We had tornado warnings and heavy rains again Friday and Saturday. 
.

The temp low this coming week is expected to be 43 with a high on Tuesday of 80. Should be a nice week. 

I was happy with my reading and listening last week.  I finished two audiobooks and my eBook. I posted two reviews and my usual memes.

I visited 18 blogs last week.
Shout Out this week to I'M SHELF-ISH. Tracee describes her reading and blog: "I have been an avid reader my whole life and found that blogging about authors and the books I read has revealed a whole community of people just like me...crazy for books!"
Audible offerings for free children's titles ended June 30.
Audiobooks.com is still sharing some free listens for children.

Release date: 01-05-21
Our grandchildren are reading this series
so I decided to listen and be able to share.

Publisher's Summary
Once, in a cottage above the cliffs on the Dark Sea of Darkness, there lived three children and their trusty dog, Nugget.
Janner Igiby, his brother, Tink, and their disabled sister, Leeli, are gifted children as all children are, loved well by a noble mother and ex-pirate grandfather. But they will need all their gifts and all that they love to survive the evil pursuit of the venomous Fangs of Dang, who have crossed the dark sea to rule the land with malice. The Igibys hold the secret to the lost legend and jewels of good King Wingfeather of the Shining Isle of Anniera.
Full of characters rich in heart, smarts, and courage, On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness is a tale children of all ages will cherish and families can listen to together.
This audiobook includes a PDF of maps, illustrations, and more.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

2. eBook/Kindle App on Smartphone (Author2021)

Chinook (Miranda Chase NTSB #6)
by M.L. Buchman
I like action so I am hoping this will move along well.
Source: March 2021 from Author (through BookFunnel).
When the fastest and most powerful helicopters in the US Army’s fleet start falling out of the sky, Miranda Chase and her team of NTSB crash investigators are called in.
One crash leads to another and they are fast entangled in a Chinese conspiracy to start a war. Only Miranda’s team can stop the trade war from becoming a real one.

There may be another audio which I will pick when I finish the Wingfeather title.

March 20, 2022 - These videos are really good - they help me retain more and help explain plot narrative as well as the underlying story of Jesus. Bible Reading Plan: BibleProject | One Story that Leads to Jesus. I know it won't match my Hubby's reading but I wanted some different insights/devotions and I am enjoying the devotion video project. I am enjoying keeping up with my reading each day.
No new study although I will probably start looking at an Easter Study soon.

I completed three books for review this week.
My NetGalley shelf is back to the three old ebook titles. I will probably end up letting A Place Called Armageddon go as DNF.
I am reading the last eBook title I had in queue.
(Plus a few that I received from facebook links and newsletter sign-ups, not specific review requests.)
Still many titles through InstaFreebie and many new author requests I haven't replied to.

Welcome to Mailbox Monday.

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. This Meme started with Marcia at A Girl and Her Books (fka The Printed Page) and after a tour of hosts has returned to its permanent home at Mailbox Monday. Thanks to the ladies sharing hosting duties: Serena of Savvy Verse & Wit, me and new to the team, Velvet at vvb32reads. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

No new review books.
I added three Chirp titles this week and one Audible credit.
I have listed the last of my March 3 Audible sale purchases.
3 books added to my Kindle TBR library again.

Are your mailbox and TBR piles blooming?
