It's Monday, What Are You Reading?




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:

     

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys:  Wow, what an emotional book for me.  I really enjoyed it, it was very well done.  Review to be posted soon.

Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor:  This book was very good as well, in a totally different way.  It was a more somber book than the first in the series.  Review to be posted soon.


Reading this Week:

I will not read all of these this week, its a busy one, but this is the pile I will be choosing from.  We shall see what wins.  

        


Anyone but You by Jennifer Crusie:  I need a cheery fun book after Between Shades of Gray. I think this one will fit the bill!

The Drowning House by Elizabeth Black:  I just loved this cover.

Once Upon a River by Bonnie Jo Campbell:  This is my "Blind Date with a Book" book from the library. And bonus, the author is a Michigander!


Reviews New Last Week:


Reviews Coming up this Week:

Besides the books I read last week, I will be reviewing Sideways on a Scooter.

    1. I am really enjoying the Laini Taylor series. I wish however, that I didn't have to wait so long for the next book!

      And Shades of Gray- stellar is a great word to describe it.

  8. I've enjoyed quite a few Jennifer Crusie books - - especially her recent novels. Good writer. I'm also interested in the Lainie Taylor novels, they look good.

    have a great week, Rabid Reader

    1. I really like Crusie too. I love her heroines, they are always so smart and funny. I loved the Laini Taylor books!

    2. Have you read Welcome To Temptation? I think that is one of my favorites of hers, even with the high sexin' up content (which I am kind of over reading about, all the time). The whole thing, the lusting, the suspicion, the characters, it all worked very well in one very fun to read novel. She's good like that, though. What other authors would write and irritate me, she can write and I'll enjoy it. ;)

    3. I have! It's one of my favorites. A lot of the time, especially if I have read the book before, I just skim over those parts. Lol. I agree, the whole book was set up very well - I love the books about the Dempsey family. I love her dialogue, and how her heroines are never the "ideal". :)

  9. I'd like to read Between Shades of Gray, but thanks for the head's up that it's not a super happy book. Still, you make it sound good.

    1. It was so good! It did have its moments, but it was also a book about hope and love. :)

I love hearing from people, don't be shy! I would love to hear what you think! I always reply back, although it takes me a bit longer these days due to the little guy.
