What have you been reading?
I spotted someone's review of Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories elsewhere and thought it sounded like a good read- I hope you enjoy it!

Sorry! Your comment was eaten as spam.
DeleteThanks for sharing what you are reading. I'm especially interested in finding out more about the new books-about-libraries/books that you shared.
ReplyDeleteHere's my It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
They may be children's books, but they're interesting children's books.
DeleteYou certainly read an interesting variety of books. I want to check out those about libraries too. Come see my Monday Report here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think if you do! And thanks. =)
DeleteYou have an eclectic taste in reading like I do :)
ReplyDeleteI have read a few of the classic titles but way back when, and haven't heard of your newer ones, but that's what makes this meme fun--discovering all the titles we might never have stumbled upon!
Fun is one way to look at it. Another is overwhelmed. It's usually somewhere in between for me.
DeleteWow - all those classics! I keep telling myself I need to reread a bunch of classics, but I never get to it! I loved Bel Canto!
ReplyDeleteI can't say I loved Bel Canto, but I did appreciate it. And I kept thinking about it after I'd finished it.
DeleteFun that you read a wide variety of books. I will need to find some of those books about libraries. :)
ReplyDeleteMy Monday Post is at Reading Through Life
They are fun and cute. I'd be interested to see what others think of them...
DeleteNice mix of reading genres. ENJOY your week.

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
It is a decent mixture of genres. Apparently I read less, but with more variety.
DeleteI love the list of the childrens books about books/libraries. I will have to look into some of those.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Monday .
I had so much fun with them that I'm looking for more. =)
DeleteAck! Hate that between books feeling. It's why I usually have two or three picked out before my current one is done. I just finished Zombie Fallout by Mark Tufo. It was so good, I gave it to my daughter. (audio book) I laughed so hard...and yes, it was creepy too. Right now, I'm listening to the first book in the Chicagoland Vampire Series by Chloe Neill. I have a feeling I'll continue on with this series too.
ReplyDeleteI ended up jumping into a book that was most definitely not in line. ::sigh:: What am I going to do with myself?
DeleteI read and enjoyed the first couple Chicagoland Vampire books but then I got behind. Yet another series I should catch up on.
Jo, I finished Chloe Neill's book and wow, I'm hooked. I'll continue on with that series for sure.
