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.
This past week was a doozy. I was sick, two days off work kind of sick, and then Thursday night, my husband was in a scary car accident. He is doing good, and did not sustain any injuries from the accident, thank god. Things could have been much worse, so we feel lucky.
Read Last Week:
River Road by Suzanne Johnson: This was an entertaining break from reality. And I love New Orleans, even fictional New Orleans.
The Wisdom of the Shire by Noble Smith: I absolutely adored this book!!!
My reviews for both of these will be up this week sometime.
Reading this Week:
Not too different from last week, since my life went haywire and I didn't get to most of the books I wanted to read. I am going to commit to these two, but there might be one or two more I read.
Jepp, Who Defied the Stars by Katherine Marsh: I need a book about defying one's stars right now.
Charlotte and Emily by Jude Morgan: I think I am ready for the Brontes.
Wow, I'm glad your husband is okay! And feel better soon. I've been meaning to read Jepp, so I'll wait to see how you like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was a scary call to get!
DeleteI am starting with Jepp, I am excited to read it. :)
I am looking forward to your review of The Wisdom of the Shire. It looks like a lovely read. Glad your family is safe!

Thanks Rebecca! I really loved The Wisdom of the Shire, I hope to have the review up on Wednesday. :)
DeleteI hope you have a better week this week. I'm glad your husband wasn't injured and I hope your health continues to improve!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out The Wisdom of the Shire. I loved The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. I've heard good things about Jepp, Who Defied the Stars too.
Thanks Christina!
DeleteI am a huge fan of Tolkien. I had high hopes for Wisdom, and the author did not disappoint. My review should be up on Wednesday. :)
Glad the accident wasn't more serious! River Road sounds good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nise!
DeleteRiver Road was perfectly escapist. :)
A book about the Brontes...intriguing!
ReplyDeleteI am such a fan of the Brontes. I am looking forward to reading about their lives. :)
DeleteSorry to hear about the car accident :( Scary! I'm glad he's ok and I hope you're feeling healthy as well. I can't wait to read your review of Wisdom of the Shire. I'm super curious :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer. It was awful, I never want to get a phone call like that again. It could have been worse, but it was still terrifying.
DeleteI really loved The Wisdom of the Shire!! I hope to have the review up on Wednesday. :)
Wow you have had a crazy week! SO glad your hubby is ok!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know that I have posted the new 2013 WHERE Are You Reading Challenge sign up. I know you have signed up last year so thought you may want to again! SO much fun!
It was pretty nuts! I am ready for a boring week. :)
DeleteI will definitely sign up! Thanks!
Awful to have a week like that but thank goodness you're hubby is ok! I love the cover of Charlotte and Emily, hope it's a good read. Happy reading and hope this week is a nice, calm one for you :)
ReplyDeleteYes, we keep telling ourselves that it could have been much worse. Thank goodness he was ok, and no one else was hurt either.
DeleteI love the cover too - I could move right into it. Lol.
Charlotte and Emily looks like a good one but Anne is my favorite Bronte. Glad your hubby is ok and hope this week is a better one!
ReplyDeleteIt does seem weird they are skipping right over Anne!
DeleteLoads of people seem to be reading Brnte books this week. Charlotte and Emily looks like a really good book so going to add this to me 'to-read' list.
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband is ok. How scary for you.
Hope you have a lovely week. :-)
It is super foggy today, it seems like a Bronte day here in Michigan. I will have to start Charlotte and Emily this afternoon. :)
DeleteThanks for the well wishes. :)
It was an icky week for you and I am so happy that your husband is okay. Here's to a better one this week! I can't wait to get back to blogging. I miss you guys so much! Belle
ReplyDeleteThanks Belle! It was terrifying, one of those calls you never want to get, but it could have been worse so we are trying to look at it that way. Thanks for the well wishes!
DeleteWe miss you too!
Oh no, I'm so sorry your week was so awful! Glad to hear your husband is doing okay, that's always so terrifying. Hope you're feeling better as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally going to add The Wisdom of the Shire to my TBR list, it sounds quite lovely :)
