It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by The Book Date.

It's been a very busy morning for me. I had every intention of getting up bright and early so I could write a few review posts. However, that didn't occur. Instead, I ended up cleaning out a closet full of books. It's been something I've been wanting to do for awhile now.

As many of you probably already know, I have a big collection of books. Due to limited space and my change in genre reads, I've decided to get rid of many of my books. It took me over three hours to go through all the books and put the ones I don't want anymore in boxes. 13 boxes and 1 bag to be precise. As soon as I get this post published, I'm going to have to put all the boxes in the car so I can donate them at the local Salvation Army Thrift Store.

FYI: This was just one closet. I have another closet, five bookshelves, and four shelves on a corner desk filled with books.

What Am I Currently Reading?

Today, I'll be rereading The Shining by Stephen King. Then, hopefully, I'll be rereading the sequel Doctor Sleep on Wednesday. The movie adaptation is coming out at the end week, which I highly doubt if I'll see it in theatres. There's only a one-screen theatre in my town and it's currently not playing movies because this time of year their hosting high school plays and musicals.

What Am I Currently Reading?

Starting early tomorrow morning, I'll be reading The Bad Place by Dean Koontz and I'll be posting the review for it sometime in the evening hours as the 11th book in my 13 Reads of Halloween! event, which involves me reading & reviewing 13 horror books in 13 days. The 12th and 13th titles are Hell-O-Ween by David Robins and Halloween II by Jack Martin.

Good Morning, Everyone!

I can't believe I'm writing a post early on a Monday morning!

FYI: I'm kinda like Garfield - I hate Mondays!

Anyway, as you can tell I'm back to combining my Sunday Post with my It's Monday! What Are You Reading? post. Why is this? Well, last week I didn't get around to posting my Sunday Post and yesterday I was just to lazy to do anything. Therefore, this week I'm shoving two posts into one.

What Am I Currently Reading?

How did my reading go last week? To tell you the truth - not very good. Did I finish reading IT? Nope!

However, I did read a few pages over the weekend and I'm now on page 535. As you can probably tell, I'm in no hurry to read IT. It's not like I have a review deadline for it, though I would like to post a review sometime during the first week of September.

Additionally, I did listen to an audiobook Wake the Dead by Stacey Rourke yesterday afternoon.

I'll be reviewing it sometime this week. Maybe even today! My reading agenda for this week is to once again finish reading IT. Plus, I'll be listening to the audiobook The Unlucky Ones by Stacey Marie Brown.

Books

Nearly two weeks ago, I received the novella The Witch Port Video Game by Leonard Bassed. I will be reviewing the title in September for a book tour. On the exact same day, I received The Inn by James Patterson & Candice Fox. Now the latter isn't for review purposes as I had pre-ordered a few days prior to its release. However, whenever I get around to reading it, I'll most likely post a review for it.

My agenda for the next few days is to read Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark, More Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark, and Scary Stories 3: More Stories to Chill Your Bones by Alvin Schwartz.

I bet there isn't one '80s kid who doesn't remember reading Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark! I was either in the second or third grade when I first read the original book. My mom bought the books for me though a Scholastic book flyer. I have no idea what happened to those books because they're long gone. I probably let someone borrow them and they never returned them. It doesn't matter as I bought all three titles several years ago at thrift store. I've been meaning to rereading them for along time but I've just never gotten around to it. With the feature film adaptation coming out at the end of the week, I thought this would be a great time for me to finally reread them. Then I'm going to put my full attention on Stephen King's IT, which I'm currently on page 383.
