It's Monday, What Are You Reading is a weekly blog meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey where you list the books you read last week and the ones you hope to read this week.
I missed last week, I was on vacation "up north" as Michiganders say. And I didn't eve read much!
Read Last Week:
Summer Rental by Mary Kay Andrews: I started this book on vacation at my family's summer rental. My room was a bug jar with the light on, so I couldn't fit much reading in at night! I enjoyed this book, it was a fun summer read.
Honolulu by Alan Bernnert: This author has never let me down, I have found both his books to be beautiful and moving. I recommend them to everyone.
Heart of Evil by Heather Graham: Second in the Krewe of Hunters Series. I enjoyed this second book much better than the first. And I was in love with the ghost story!
Currently Reading:
The Kitchen House by Katheleen Grissom: I have read favorable reviews of this book and so far so good!
The Red Garden by Alice Hoffman: Alice Hoffman is always a favorite of mine, and this books seems no exception. So far I have cried, and laughed, because my one of my favorite historical figures, Johnny Appleseed is a character! And I am not even that far into the book yet, so I wonder what other surprises are in store.
Gave up on for the moment:
Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnik: This is not a bad book, I was just not in the mood. I plan on revisiting Gopnik's Paris this fall or winter.
I loved Paris to the Moon, but, then again, I love anything about Paris!

My Monday!
I want to get my hands on Summer Rental!
ReplyDeleteI really must put more thought in to reading Alice Hoffman. I've seen her pop up everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThe Krewe of Hunters series sounds awesome. That's one I need to get started on :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, may you get through all the books this week :D
ReplyDeleteSome of Alice Hoffman's books bore me to tears, and yet most of them are so interesting, that I tend to read them straight through if I have a chance. I like the way she infuses magical tendrils into a lot of her stories.
ReplyDeleteWill have to check out Alan Brennert's books since you're giving them such a good rap.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading :)
