It's Monday, What Are You Reading?



It's Monday, What Are You Reading is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.


I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend!

Read Last Week:

      

History of a Pleasure Seeker by Richard Mason: This was our book club book. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't my favorite ever. 

The Mourning Hours by Paula Treick DeBoard: I received this from NetGalley and I read it in one gulp practically! I loved it. The end was a bit rushed, but I didn't care. 

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro: A friend recommended this to me, and I really liked it. I am left feeling a little unsettled. 

Reading This Week:

      

The Clover House by Henriette Lazardis Power: I intended to read this last week, but read Never Let Me Go instead.  I am off this week, I am excited to read!

The Drowning House by Elizabeth Black: I checked this out a long time ago, and never read it. It is time now.

Girls in Trucks by Katie Crouch: I won this from the Southern Reading Challenge hosted by Jen at Introverted Reader. I am looking forward to reading it! I had to wait for some warmer weather here in Michigan, in order to start it.

  4. The Mourning Hours and The Drowning House both look delicious. Perhaps, my reading is going down a dark alley at the moment, but those titles intrigue me!

  10. I just had to keep reading to find out what happened next! The ending was rushed a bit - but it didn't seem to even matter to me. It was more about the family and their dynamics than the mystery, I think. I hope you like it!!

  11. I hope you like your Girls in Trucks book! I think it was a wise choice to wait for warmer weather. Southern lit and heat just go hand in hand. Enjoy your week!

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.
