It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey, that is guaranteed to add to your reading list.
Read Last Week:
I am going to try to find a balance between school and blogging this week. We are getting rid of television this week, so I am sure I will find more time to do things!
Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks: I loved this book!!! I loved it so much that I picked it as my book club choice for March. Review Thursday.
The Undead Pool by Kim Harrison: I went to the book launch and book signing last Tuesday and had a blast! I will post about it on Tuesday. And this book!!!! OMG!! Has anyone read it? If you want to talk to me about it, email me! I am excited to talk about it with someone!
The Headless Cupid by Zilpha Keatley Snyder: I read this as part of the Newbery Challenge I am participating in. It was pretty good! Review Wednesday.
Reading This Week:
The Radleys by Matt Haig: I started this last week, and I really liked what I read so far!
Belle Cora by Phillip Margulies: I am so excited to read this book!
Sounds like I need to read The Undead Pool! I enjoyed The Radleys too. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYes, I loved The Undead Pool!! The Radleys is really fun right now, I want to keep reading it, and not work. :( Lol.
DeleteHeadless Cupid looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty good!! :)
DeleteGood luck w/ the television thing, we gave up cable a while back and haven't really missed it (occasionally we do). We read a ton more now though...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have a feeling I am going to be a lot more productive. I didn't think I watched much television, but when we looked at it, it was more than I thought.
DeleteYear of Wonders was fantastic. Geraldine Brooks is a quality author. I also really enjoyed People of the Book and March by her. Caleb's Crossing is on my TBR list - must get to it! You can check out my week here http://kyliesreads.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/its-monday-what-are-you-reading.html
ReplyDeleteThat was my first introduction to her, and I loved it!! I feel so weird going around telling people I love this book about the plague, but it was so much more than that. I am going to have to check out more of her stuff.
DeleteFinding a balance between all aspects of life can be tough some times. We don't own a TV, but Netflix is so distracting! I try to multitask now, as we speak I'm watching The Good Wife and doing blog bits.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
:-)
Bits & Bobs
Yes, I need to find that balance! It will be interesting to see how our lives change without television. I am looking forward to it!
DeleteI have been debating with myself about getting The Undead Pool now or waiting until summer for the paperback. Thus far, waiting is winning. I already have a full reading calendar and don't know when I'd be able to fit in another book. Come see my Monday Report. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe how much I liked Undead Pool!!! I can't wait to talk to someone about it. :) I totally understand the full reading calendar thing though! :)
DeleteIt has been absolutely ages since I last read Zilpha Keatley Snyder! I loved her books when I was a kid - and if I ever have any of my own they're going to be mandatory bedtime reading!
ReplyDeleteI know right! I just ordered new versions of all her books for the library I work in, and I am excited to see the student's reactions!
DeleteI've read two of Geraldine Brooks' books. You have to read People of the Book. I think you'd like it. I need to read this one!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely check it out!
DeleteBella Cora sounds like it would be right up my alley. For that matter, I need to make sure I catch your review of Year of Wonders too. I'm kind of on a historical fiction kick.
ReplyDeleteBelle Cora is really good so far! If only I didn't fall asleep so easily at night, I would probably be farther along. Lol.
DeleteI remember equally loving and being freaked out by The Egypt Game by Zilpha Keatley Snyder when I was a kid. The Headless Cupid sounds like it would produce a similar reaction for me now! Year of Wonders looks very interesting. I'm looking forward to reading your review on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThe Headless Cupid was pretty creepy! But it was good, and I loved the characters. Year of Wonders was amazing!
