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:



 Summer Friends by Holly Chamberlin:  I wanted to get a last beach book in before fall, and I finished in the nick of time! Review upcoming today or tomorrow.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs: I was attracted to this book by the cover, and I loved the book. 
The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross:  Much better than expected! I really liked it, although could have been more steampunk.

Hijab Boutique: Still working on, will finish today and review soon.


Currently Reading:


I apparently went for a culinary/pastry theme this week, totally unplanned!

The Sweet Life in Paris by David Lebovitz:  Saw this somewhere, and needed to read it! Love pastry and love Paris. Although I have never been there.

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender:  I just really liked the title and cover.

  3. Looks like some good reading. I think I'll have to put The Girl in the Steel Corset and Miss Peregrine on my list.

  4. I read and reviewed Miss Peregrine's a little while ago, and I think I'm one of the few who didn't enjoy it very much. I have The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake on my bookshelf waiting to be read... hope you enjoy it!

  5. I really enjoyed The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. I liked that it didn't go where you expect it to go.

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.
