Monday Musings

 

Welcome to Monday Musings!

As 2026 begins, I wanted to freshen up my blog with interesting postings, articles, my thoughts, and everything book related. Come along for the journey and share your comments!

Every Sunday I scour the internet for the upcoming new books that will be published every Tuesday, and as I begin formatting my Weekly New Book Releases post, I noticed that I not only post the new books on my blog, but I also look on NetGalley and usually end up requesting every single book ... sigh ... now come on, all this does is add to my ever growing TBR list, but as the bookworm that I am, I request the books anyway and delude myself into thinking that I will eventually read every single book. So, am I the only one who does this? 🤦🤣📚🕮📖📕

Currently Reading

I am currently reading Buckeye by Patrick Ryan, and while Historical Fiction novels aren't my usual go to genre, I am really enjoying being swept into the lives of the characters throughout the decades following WWII. When I consider what novels to read, I am always curious to see how other readers view the book and usually get a good feel if it will be one that will resonate with me. From the Amazon banner, it seems like the general consensus was that it was a very popular book selection in 2025. So, have y'all read the book or put it on your TBR list? Be sure to look out for my book review! 

Upcoming Posts

In addition to Monday Musings, I will be posting Wednesday Wisdoms, and Friday Finales each week that I hope will provide you with more interesting ideas about everything books!

I have also begun adding Book Spotlight posts of the book that I am currently reading. Be sure to look out for my next book selection that I will be reading. 

Finally, as I get in the swing of updating and making my blog more interesting, I am considering hosting Author Guest Posts, Author Interviews, and Contest Giveaways like I used to when I first started this blog. I am also considering joining virtual book tours and hosting them like I used to, as they were the reason that I originally began this blog in 2011. So be sure to look out for future news announcements! 📕📖🕮
