It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (3/9/26)
Happy Monday bookish people!
I hope this Monday is treating you well, especially those of you who still have to deal with daylight savings time. I woke up to a very dark morning and I’m not afraid to admit that I’m fairly exhausted today. On the bright side, it was smooth sailing on the transit commute to work. So it’s not all bad. Let’s see how my reading has been going so far.
Read Last Week:
I only finished one book last week. My hold for Don’t Let the Forest In by CG Drews came in, and I’ve been in a horror mood so I immediately sat down to read it. Alas, this book and I had a really rough go. I think I’ve finally grown out of the capability to deal with the deep angst that a lot of YA novels hold, and I just found myself getting really frustrated with these characters. The ending was a letdown for me too, so I rated it 2 stars.
Currently Reading:
Another library hold that came in this week was Nine Goblins by T. Kingfisher. I fully admit that I’ll snap up absolutely anything Kingfisher puts out, and this book has been delighting me since I first opened it up. I love that it walks a line between being a bit creepy, and a whole lot of wholesome, because that’s the joy of this author’s books. I cannot wait to finish!
I also started listening to the Skeleton Crew audio book because I needed a Stephen King fix in my life. I haven’t read this book since I was probably about 11, and so I was excited to dive back into it as an adult. Friends, I had forgotten how brutal some of these stories are. This doesn’t mean I don’t love them. But man… “The Raft” will now live in my brain rent free for years. I’m surprised I forgot about it until now.
Reading Next:
I am actually technically still reading this one as an ongoing book, but I need to hurry up and finish it to review it. It’s not inherently a bad book by any means, but it’s very slow. So it’s been hard not to wander off and start reading other things. Review soon though!
That’s it for me! What are you reading this week?

I hope that whatever you choose to read this week is more entertaining or exciting. I recently read a book by CG Drews that was a little disappointing too. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
