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. I love this meme ... thanks Sheila!
Well not much happened on my blog last week, I took an impromptu week off from blogging and gave myself permission to feel sad, eat comfort food, read and basically slack off but I did do a little blog visiting. So, new week ... I'm ready :)
Congrats to everyone who participated in the Dewey 24hr Read-a-thon, hope you had a ton of fun!

Finished last week:
THE SECRET KEEPER by Kate Morton ~ I was worried at first but what a great read

I want to read a Shalvis book soon! Glad The Secret Keeper turned out to be a good read. Look forward to what you thought about The Raven Boys as I just brought it home. I did not get much accomplished last week either.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Still Alice and I am curious about The Raven Boys. I'll be sure to look for your review later this week! I need to check out some of Kristin Hannah's other books too. I've only read Home Front and I really liked it.
ReplyDeleteStaci got me hooked on Jill's books!! I just recently finished the Lucky Harbor series!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have some good reading. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHave a good reading week! And I do think that you will
ReplyDeleteI really need to get back into reading Kristin Hannah - I used to read her and enjoyed her novels.
ReplyDeleteRaven Boys really looks good, also.
Happy reading!
Looking forward to you review of The Raven Boys. You can check out my Monday here http://www.kyliesreads.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/its-monday-what-are-you-reading_15.html
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who raves about Kate Morton but I haven't managed to read her yet. Obviously I should. :-) Still Alice is fantastic and I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI want to read The Secret Keeper...and I must read Still Alice!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading...and here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
I have The Secret Keeper on my list to read...loved The Forgotten Garden and have her other two books on my shelf just waiting to be read.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Still Alice, but liked Left Neglected better. I'm currently listening to Love Anthony and am really enjoying it.
Have a great week!
~Kristin @ Always With a Book
I hope you love Still Alice, such a powerful book! The Readathon was so much fun! I can't wait to do it again :D
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
The Relentless Reader
Can't wait to get my copy of The Secret Keeper!
ReplyDeleteThe Secret Keeper is the one I would love to get my hands on!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to read Still Alice for awhile, hope you enjoyed it :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes we all need time away. I was supposed to take part in the read-a-thon but ended up in bed sick as a dog.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are all refreshed and back at it!!
I thought of you often this past week! Big hugs to you my dear friend....may this week be restful and that your heart finds comfort!!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to come by and give you a big vitrual hug.
ReplyDeleteThe Kristin Hannah books sound like my cup of tea- I'm into dysfunctional families too, lol! You would love Jessica by Bryce Courtenay.
ReplyDeleteTake care. :)
