It's Monday! What Are You Reading?




A weekly event hosted by Sheila from One Persons Journey Through a World Of Books to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week.

I only finished one book last week but it was another chunkster (at almost 500 pages) and it is school holidays so with having family visit I haven't had as much 'chill out' time as I thought I would. But I do have reviews scheduled this week and I'm hoping for a bit more reading time. My reading list looks optimistic, especially when most weeks I've only read one book but you never know this could be the week LOL. I'd be really excited to get through 2 or 3.  I also scrapped a layout of myself on my 40th birthday (2 years ago.) Something a bit different as I don't often scrap photos of just myself, I'm normally the one on the other end of the camera (it's an iggydodie scraplift.)

  8. As always, LOVE your layout!! Leviathan is one that I really really want to read, and I have Spirit Bound on my to-buy list for my daughter (and then, of course, when SHE'S done with it, I get to read it ... which is sort of a perk when you have other book lovers in the family!)
