It's Monday! What Are You Reading?




A weekly event hosted by Sheila from Book Journey to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week. Thanks Sheila :)

I've been a bit slow on my blog of late but I have a good excuse ;) spending quiet time with Alaine whilst she recovers has been a much enjoyed priority, but I also succumbed to bronchitis. The endless barking coughing has left this blogger feeling a tad exhausted and unmotivated. However this week should see a turn-a-round, I have 3 book reviews scheduled; both books I finished last week and HEART WITH JOY by Steve Cushman.

I have a number of competitions running and more going up this week so be sure to check back.

I have 2 copies of THESE THINGS HIDDEN by Heather Gudenkauf to give away ~ enter the competition here.

There's also a copy of THE SEASON OF SECOND CHANCES by Diane Meier up for grabs ~ enter giveaway here.

  1. You've got some good picks this week. I'm going to try to get around to the Goddess Test, that looks really interesting.

  2. I've been wondering about The Goddess Test. I'm seeing pretty mixed reviews on it and am hoping it's not going to be one of those books where I noticed loads of mistakes. I guess we shall see!

  4. I featured The Goddess Test as a WoW choice not too long ago. I'm a sucker for mythology.

    I'm also interested in Caletti's book. I've heard she writes really well. I haven't had the chance to pick up one of her books yet.

  5. I think sometimes when you slow down or change pace that is when the bugs strike.

    Do hope you are much better now.

  6. I hope you get well soon! Bronchitis is tough. I'm glad you were able to spend time with Alaine too.

    I have an ARC of Stay that I need to get to. The Goddess Test is also on my TBR list and I look forward to hearing what you think of them. The Midwife's Confession looks interesting. I haven't tried anything by Diane Chamberlain yet.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery and a wonderful week ahead!
