What Are You Reading On Monday


A weekly event hosted by J. Kaye’s Book Blog to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week.

I got sidetracked from my intended reading list last week with some really good books from the library, maybe I'll stay on task this week but I just don't know. This week's list is a little optimistic but I'm not too sure what I'm in the mood for. I do know that up next in my reviews is Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran so stay tuned.

  3. I love Nora Roberts! So what did you think about Wintergirls? I really liked Coraline, enjoy this week's reading list!!

  4. I just don't know how I feel about Wintergirls, on the one hand the writing was just exquisite and on the otherhand it depressed the hell out of me. I don't know why because I found Willow, and If I Stay (other YA's with difficult subject matter) quite inspiring.

  5. I have been looking everywhere for The Painted Veil by Somerset Maughan. I recently saw the film and fell in love with it, now want to read it. Can't wait to hear all about it.

  11. I've been debating on VISION IN WHITE and WINTERGIRLS. Thanks about the comment. I don't do depressing well. And as far as the other one. I can't read it now...too many challenges, but I will add it to the list of future reads.

  12. I've heard good things about Coraline on audio but I haven't listen to it. Also I feel like I've read Dime Store Magic but I can't remember it. Hmmm...
    Anyway, happy reading.

  15. I always like to see other bloggers reading different books than I am. It seems like the more I read, the more I have yet to read. I haven't read any of the books you listed. Looking forward to your reviews.
