It's Monday! What are you reading? (2/22/2010)

This meme is now hosted by Sheila @ One Person's Journey Through a World of Books.

This past week I read:

Undressed by Stef Ann Holm (MIRA Romance)

Currently Reading:

  7. dollycas - I can't say I loved the Dietz book, but it was decent. And have a great week reading yourself. =)

    NatalieSap and Ah Yuan // wingstodust - lol. Okay, Graceling comes after Hunger Games.

    Staci - Yes. I'm sure you can see my problem. And of course, while I have these books, someone else does not (as evidenced by the contimual "Book has been requested and cannot be renewed" messages I get).
