It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (8)

It's Monday! What Are You ReadingIt’s Monday! What Are You Reading?’ is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week.  It’s a great post to organise yourself. This meme started with J Kaye’s Blog   and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

Hello Everyone,

Last week I read and review Loose Cannon by Jack Steele (A Detective Joe Stone Novel Book 1),

Sleuthing with the Enemy (Unnatural Alliances #2) by Danielle Hardgrave, and

Saturday Short-Story Review: The Anger Volcano – A Book About Anger for Kids by Amanda Greenslade.

Currently reading – Jilted (Discovered by Love #1) by Carla Laureano. I started this one yesterday and finished 40%.

This week I’m reading –
