Sunday Post July 10, 2022/It's Monday! What are You Reading? Plus Mailbox Monday July 11, 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.

I'm still plugging away at work files and doing at least one extra each night.

I really had that craving for cake but I made cupcakes instead so I could eat minis. I substituted Almond Milk for water and applesauce for the oil. Too many for me so I took them to the office to share. Everyone liked that they are very moist, although my daughter said they were a little too sweet for her.

And I sauteed crooked neck squash with onion, topped with grated parmesan.

I continue with my previous prayer lists.

We are expecting another week of rain everyday with temps below 90.

I continue to enjoy my audios. I finished one audio book and 17 hours in a longer audio. I posted three reviews, and my usual memes.

I visited 17 blogs last week.
A Shout Out today to BOOK SERIES IN ORDER. I stumbled onto this site that has a lot of info to share!

Publisher's Summary
What if your plus one could be the one?
Cara has officially run out of men. Her most recent dates have gone from bad to worse, and when her dating app informs her there is no one left in her area to choose from, she is at a dead end.
But with a summer of events ahead of her, she needs to find a solution, fast; someone to keep her company at the never-ending weddings, family gatherings and gender-reveal parties that she can’t face going to alone. So when she meets handsome, confident, Millsy on a night out, she may be in luck. They could not be more different in personality, but he, too, has a summer of events ahead and is desperate to get his family off his back about finding a ‘nice girl’. What if they made a pact to help each other out and be a plus one for the summer? Just as friends of course?
A brand-new romantic comedy from best seller Portia MacIntosh, perfect for fans of Zara Stoneley, Sophie Ranald and Mhairi McFarlane.

July 10, 2022 - I am back on the day track and continue to enjoy the informative videos in The Bible Reading Plan is: BibleProject | One Story that Leads to Jesus. I am enjoying keeping up with my reading each day.
I am three days in on a seven day plan: Seek in Seven.

I completed one book and have two reviews to write and post this week. 
NETGALLEY STATUS-- I added another NetGalley but finished it this week. My NG shelf is back to the three old ebook titles. I will probably end up letting A Place Called Armageddon go as DNF.
I don't have any author reviews in my queue right now.
(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 or NetGalley titles this week.
I found two for One Credit audiobooks at Audiobooks.com and two Chirp Audiobooks for $.99 each.
I added just one free Kindle titles to my Kindle TBR library today.

Are your mailbox and TBR piles blooming?
