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. Thanks Sheila.

A good week. I read 2 fantastic YA novels last week and thoroughly recommend both of them. Alaine and I had another scrapping day and we also saw Angelina Jolie's new movie Salt in Gold Class. At the moment Callum's Premier Youth soccer team are sitting 5th on the table, they won their game yesterday but must win the next two to make it to semi-finals. So, a big week of soccer this week and hopefully more reading, reviewing & scrapping :-)

  2. Sheila, I enjoyed Salt, wasn't best movie ever but a good action movie with twists. Angelina Jolie is a kick-ass chick :-)

  6. Thanks for linking my Monday post again. I finished listening to When the Wind Blows today while washing and scrapping and then I started The Search, which is a Nora Roberts romantic suspense and then I'll listen to The Chosen One which I did find. I might actually get through 3 audio books this week but we'll see how it goes. Have a great reading week!
