What Are You Reading On Monday



This weekly event previously hosted by  J. Kaye’s Book Blog, now has a new home and host. Sheila from One Persons Journey Through a World Of Books will be taking on this meme. I'm sad to see my favourite meme leave J. Kaye's blog but Sheila is lovely and it will be great getting to know her better. Apparently Sheila has added some new features so it should be lots of fun! What Are You Reading Monday is designed for readers to discuss their reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week.

Last week was a bit up and down, I wasn't feeling great so my 'best-laid' plans didn't quite work out as expected. I was too tired to read as much as I would have liked and I didn't get around to many of my favourite blogs, so hopefully this week, will see things pick up.

Click on the title to see my review of  Eternal on the Water by Joseph Monninger - don't miss out on this one, it was absolutely beautiful but make sure you have a box of tissues handy!

  5. I only read two last week as well. I want to read the Iron King as well but am not allowing myself to buy books, so I must await for it to come in at the library.

    I love Sheila and think she'll do a great job taking over this meme. :-D

    Enjoy your coming books!

  12. I hope you feel better this week. Your blog is the 3rd one this evening I have seen The Iron King posted about. I guess I need to investigate this one further to see what all the hoopla is about. The cover is stunning--

  15. You hope you are feeling better this week!!


    I see that you are reading another Cat and Bones book. Ahhh....love those books. Hope you like Destined for an Early Grave as much as the others. For me...I am hoping Frost comes out with another Cat and Bones book sooooon!!! :D

    I cannot wait to see what you thought of Beautiful Creatures. This book is on my bookshelf. I attempted it once but could not get into it. It could have been the timing that was off. I will try to read it again...sometime soon.

  16. Hope you are feeling better now. I have sent you an email with details of the navigation bar and buttons you asked for. :)

    I am waiting for your review of Beautiful Creatures.

    I can't wait to read Iron King! It has such an awesome book cover and trailer ..

  19. You have read DEVOURED by Amanda Marrone..that's now high on my wishlist.

    Happy reading to you.

  20. You should read The Forgotten Garden-Morton is an Aussie-parts of the book are in Brisbane-although that is just a fact and does not really play into the story line.

  21. Your books look lovely! I've been seeing The Iron King around the 'sphere...and the Crying Tree looks interesting!

    Hope you're feeling better this week!

    Mine are here:

  27. Wow, both of the books you've read in the past week sound so great. I would like to indulge myself with couple of books in the Morganville Vampire series as well. Perhaps in the next couple of week.
