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.
Read Last Week:
The White Forest by Adam McOmber: I am still reading this actually. I am enjoying it so far, but the font is too small for my eyes! Lol. It is making it hard to read for long. I am reading it on a Nook, I don't know if I can adjust the font size?
The Sisters Montclair by Cathy Holton: I really enjoyed this book!!! Set in the south, old houses, old families, mystery ~ I love it all.
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh: This book blew me away with how good it was. It even made a little teary is some places.
Into the Pumpkin by Linda Franklin: I thought this book had wonderful illustrations. I did get a little cranky with a part of it though. And I always feel badly when I say something negative about a book when it is my own personal pet peeve.
Reading this week:
I am setting the bar high for myself my first week back to work, and because I am still working on White Forest. I don't think I will get through all of these, but I am going to give it a whirl!
A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick: My stepmom gave this to me to read. It sounds very intriguing!!
Kept by Shawntelle Madison: I requested this from NetGalley because the blurb said that fans of Patricia Briggs would enjoy it. I like Patricia Briggs, so it would be great to find another author like her.
The White Glove War by Katie Crouch and Grady Hendrix: I read the The Magnolia League last summer, and I forgot about the second one until last week when I saw it on someone else's blog! I really do need to write down where I find out about books.
I loved the Language of Flowers as well
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week!

These are unfamiliar titles to me, so thank you for sharing them. 3 books in a week, wow! Good luck and I hope you accomplish your reading goals. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week you had :) I'm off to read your reviews...

I think you can change the font size under Preferences, that's what a friend with a Nook said! I love the cover for 'The White Glove War', it looks so cold and gorgeous at the same time! Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks I will look into that! And that is a perfect way to describe the cover, and actually a few of the characters from what I remember of The Magnolia League. ;)
DeleteI really enjoyed The White Forest, so I'm happy to see someone else reading it too. It was nothing like how I thought it would be!
ReplyDeleteI think it is very different from what I thought it would be too! I am really enjoying it so far. :)
DeleteWould you recommend The Language of Flowers for me? It sounds like something I'd enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYeah I definitely would! You can read mine if you want. :)
DeleteI haven't read Language of Flowers - but it does look amazingly good. Gorgeous language in the excerpts that I've read.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week :)

I have The Language of Flowers on my TBR. My favorite book this week was Strangers on a Train by Patricia Highsmith. Please come see what I'm reading now.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure text size is adjustable in the nook. I still read paper books (Haven't joined the ereading crowd yet) and get annoyed when the print is way too tiny.
ReplyDeleteI loved Language of Flowers, such an original book. Although I did get a little upset with Victoria a few times!
