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 :)

Heads Up everyone!! If you want your week to be as you planned or imagined can I just let you know that crossing your fingers and hoping for the best ... JUST DOESN'T CUT IT!

Another week where I only posted the one review but considering the week I had, I'm patting myself on the back for a job well done LOL. No plans or predictions this week, maybe that will be more effective??

THE FOREVER QUEEN by Helen Hollick ~ 4.5 stars, impressive!

  7. Let us know if the narrator on MY SOUL TO LOSE is any good...

    I have been meaning to read that book but so pushed for time - might be worth it to listen to if the narrator is any good..

    Happy week hon...

  9. I have been putting off and putting off Mockingjay, but I'm hoping to get it read this holiday week. But like you said...I'm not planning on it! LOL I've also been wanting to get to my copy of Dracula in Love, it just looks so good!

    Have a fabulous reading week, a Happy Thanksgiving (if it applies ;o) ) and if you have a second take a look at what I’ve been reading at There’s A Book.

  11. There is just not enough hours in the day to fit in all I have planned.!

  12. I'm thinking that plans are like creative journeys...they can take us along in a linear fashion, but more than likely, they will display a mind of their own. But then, they can lead us to surprising places. We can choose to go with the flow.

    Hope you enjoy your journey this week, and thanks for detouring to visit my blog.

  13. I've pretty much given up on being able to read everything I intend during a week, lol. I almost always don't make it!

    I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of My Soul To Lose, I've been curious about that one.

    My week is at:

  18. Can't wait to read your review for the Forever Queen and I can't wait to read it. I've decided to officially name 2011 as the year of reading for pleasure. I'm hoping to catch up on all the books I haven't had time to read this year. All your books that are here will be at the top of my list LOL.
