It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

Given that this coming week is book fair week and I'm in charge, I don't anticipate getting much done in terms of reading or reviewing. Maybe some day I will manage to scale the to be read mountain and write all those outstanding reviews. Last week wasn't the week and it's not looking good for this week either. This meme is hosted by Sheila at One Person's Journey Through a World of Books.

Books I completed this week are:

The Tower, the Zoo, and the Tortoise by Julia Stuart
Huck by Janet Elder
Out of the Shadows by Joanne Rendell
I Know I Am, But What Are You? by Samantha Bee
Never Trust a Rogue by Olivia Drake
After the Fall by Kylie Ladd

Bookmarks are still living in the middle of:

Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
Great Lakes Nature by Mary Blocksma (this is going to take me all year as I read her year's entries on the corresponding days of this year)
Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese
Heart With Joy by Steve Cushman
After the Fall by Kylie Ladd

  1. ooh book fair, sounds like fun. Do you still get to be a customer even though you're in charge :)

    Have a great week and hope you get time to squeeze in a little reading!

  2. I can't wait to see your reviews of The Tower The Zoo and The Tortoise (I loved it!) and The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake (I hated it!)

    I found you through Caroline Bookbinder -- am now following your blog as well

  4. I too have a list of books needing reviews. And another list of reviews needing to be posted.

    Mostly picture books last week. Here's what I'm reading this week.

I have had to disable the anonymous comment option to cut down on the spam and I apologize to those of you for whom this makes commenting a chore. I hope you'll still opt to leave me your thoughts. I love to hear what you think, especially so I know I'm not just whistling into the wind here at my computer.
