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 :)
Well now that Garage Sale hell is done and dusted I can resume something of a normal routine, catching up on my favourite bloggers, reading, reviewing and scrapbooking ... fingers crossed.
I reviewed THE SCARLET LION by Elizabeth Chadwick with a new format from Jen @ Jenny Loves To Read & Staci @ Life in the Thumb.
************
Finished last week:
GIRL, STOLEN by April Henry ~ really good YA
************
This Week's Reading List:
THE FOREVER QUEEN by Helen Hollick - page 175 and really enjoying it!
PROPHECY OF THE SISTERS by Michelle Zink (audiobook) ~ page 211. I'm alternating between the audiobook and the book as the narrator is quite monotone which I'm finding a bit of a bore!
************
Reviews still to do:
THE RED QUEEN by Philippa Gregory
BEFORE I FALL by Lauren Oliver
SPEAK by Laurie Halse Anderson
FALLEN by Lauren Kate
MOCKINGJAY by Suzanne Collins
This month on The Eclectic Reader you can win a copy of Matched by Allie Condie, or Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead or The Leopard Unleashed by Elizabeth Chadwick. Check this blog post for details. Open Internationally.

Your month is shaping up to be really good and filled with interesting books!!! Hope your week is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've got some fabulous books to keep your moth moving along -- I can't wait to read The Forever Queen!
ReplyDeleteI am reading one Victorian period novel called Effie - A Victorian Scandal and the other set in colonial India again a scandal of a British woman falling in love with an Indian called A Beggar at the Gate. Both scandalous! both good.
ReplyDeleteYou have an interesting variety of books...hope you enjoy them all.

I want to read The Forever Queen! I see that you are liking it thus far...I cannot wait to see what you think of the book when you are done.
ReplyDeleteFingers are crossed. :)
Such a nice list of books. I am really interested in Girl, Stolen. I liked Mockingjay, Speak and Fallen. I was really under-impressed with Before I Fall though. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteOOH I like both of the books you are planning to read this week. Your "garage sale hell" comment cracked me up - I remember those days and I refuse to do them anymore.... so much work! :)
ReplyDeleteI adored The Forever Queen! Have a great week reading. My Monday is here: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/11/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-13.html
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week and time to read and relax!
ReplyDeleteI have only done one garage sale ever and that was to clean out my mom and Dad's house, it was a lot of work. Hope you have a great week reading and catching up your reviews.
ReplyDeleteI want to read The Forever Queen and The Prophecy Sisters. I feel for you with "boring" voice on the audio. Good voices can do wonders with great books.
ReplyDeleteI am half way through The Forever Queen and will read like crazy now cos it's so good :)
ReplyDeleteI thought I read a lot...
ReplyDeleteHope you made a good profit on the garage sale! Nice to see several reviews look foward to :) Have a great reading week.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Girl, Stolen... although there's a good chance it just slipped my mind. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great reading lineup! Hope you have a nice week,
