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. I love this meme ... thanks Sheila!

Another big week, specialist appointments, tests, Callum flys to Canada at sparrow fart on Wednesday morning and I've got insurance assessors here to look at the leak in my bedroom ceiling after a weekend of mega-storms ... annoying but pretty lucky in the scheme of things. Still hoping to squeeze Breaking Dawn 2 in before Callum leaves ... it's our tradition :)


lightening strikes in SE QLD were incredible over the weekend

  2. I am glad you are enjoying Touch of Power. I am hoping to read the sequel soon.

    I hope you do get to see Breaking Dawn Part 2 with your son. I just went and saw it this afternoon and I liked it. The twist was certainly something :)

  4. Wow, those pictures are awesome but scary! I've read good reviews for Crewel, look forward to what you thought. I might go to the movie with my son's girlfriend as he has flatly refused to go!

  6. Breaking Dawn was interesting. I'll be buying the DVD when it comes out. Then I'll have them all and will have to schedule a Twilight marathon viewing session. I loved Crewel too.

    BTW, nice lightning! My Monday Report is here. Have a great week.

  9. I loved the Kristin Hannah books...can't wait for her next one, whenever that might be. Still Alice is the remaining book I must read by this author. Enjoy your week! The lightning is beautiful, but a bit frightening.

    Thanks for visiting my blog, and have a great week.

  13. You aren't kidding with the mega storms-- Wowzas! I live in the middle of Missouri so we have thunderstorms quite a bit...and a few tornadoes every once in a while. NOT fun but I guess you get used to them. Not anything near that lightning though, eep.

    It's Thanksgiving week here, gotta make a turkey :)
    Whatcha readin' this week @ the Brunette Librarian :)
