This weekly reading list meme is hosted at Book Date. Join in to see what others are reading and maybe get some ideas of what to read next! Although the Book Date link-up happens weekly, I don't update that often. Usually I do this around the middle of the month, and try to share my monthly bookshelf summary on the last Monday of the month. (I'm hitting publish and linking up late today, so I'll have to catch up tomorrow!) Here's what I've been working on lately.
I finished reading . . .

What I'm Highlighting . . . The list of articles on my new blog, A Fresh Cup of Coffee, seems quite long, but I don't expect it to be that extensive every month! I'm participating in the 2023 Write 28 Days Blogging Challenge hosted by Anita Ojeda so my goal is to write on at least one of my three blogs every day this month. This anchor post is being updated as we go along with all of my 28 Days of Write Something Somewhere posts.

Sounds like a great week of reading for you with lots of variety (of course, I'm a week late now!). I was a huge Laverne and Shirley fan so was saddened to hear fo Cindy Williams death - hope you enjoyed her memoir.
