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. Since it's been awhile since I last did this update, and it's a short month, I'll keep this one short! Here's what I've been working on lately!
I finished reading . . .
The Matrimonial Advertisement by Mimi Matthews - I noticed the Kindle edition of this book was free, and since I've read and enjoyed a couple of previous titles by this author, I picked it up. And before I knew it, I had finished the entire story! Helena Reynolds answers a matrimonial advertisement in hopes that the gentleman would offer her protection from her cruel and greedy uncle. (Read my review HERE.)
The Juliet Code by Pepper Basham - Frederick and Grace are honeymooning in Venice when their friend Detective Jack requests their help with a hunt for an art thief and possible murderer, and deciphering clues from the remaining pieces of artwork that may lead to a hidden treasure. (Read my full review HERE.)
I'm currently reading . . .
A Fatal Illusion by Anna Lee Huber - Kiera and Gage take it upon themselves to investigate the strange attack on Gage's father. Highwaymen stopped his coach and shot him to wound but not kill, and yet did not ask for or accept his purse, so robbery was not the motive. Could it be revenge or retribution?
Ticker by Lisa Mantchev - I'd started this back in the fall and took a break, but am working on it again. Penny has a clockwork heart that continuously needs rewinding in this YA steampunk novel.
Wimpy Weak and Woke by John L. Cooper - I finally got started on this one, and am reading it just a little at a time. Wish my lunch break was longer so I could get into it!
Up Next . . . On the TBR stack . . .
The stack grows faster than my ability to read it, especially lately! It's been a long time since I did a What I'm Reading post, but I still haven't got to the books that were probably on the stack then! Maybe I'll fill this section in next time I post.
On my blogs recently . . .

I haven't done many Friday Fun posts recently, but I liked the current Book Blogger Hop question and didn't want to miss out. Here is the weekly bookish question in the Book Blogger Hop, hosted by Billy at Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer.
This Week's Question: Do you keep an active list of favorite authors - that you would spend your milk money on - to have it when they publish a book?
My Answer: Over the years my "milk money authors" have changed a few times, but there's always at least one or two that I like well enough that I will just buy their latest book as soon as it hits the shelves, or even pre-order it. Of course, since I've been behind on reading lately, I might not immediately READ the book, but I will buy it! For the past few years I have pretty faithfully bought every book by Anna Lee Huber and by Connilynn Cossette.
