Sheila at Book Journey runs It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
My, it seems a long time ago to me since last Monday. I know a year has passed, but this week just seems to have had so much going on it seems longer. Happy New Year to you and may 2015 be a good one for all.
Last week I finished reading:
Two Novellas
Guarding Christmas Jenny Schwartz Free Fall Suzanne Brockmann
One Plus One
Review will be posted this week.
Very fitting first read of the year.
What I am reading at the moment:
First Frost Sarah Addison Allen
I have just started listening to:
The Rosie Effect. Graeme Simsion
Up next most likely:
I Saw Her Standing There Marie Force
The Littlest Cowboy Maggie Shayne
Bride Flight Marieke van de Pol
Don't be surprised if you haven't heard of the last one, it was a recommendation to me by a reader in the Netherlands, on her holiday exchange card. It is a translation and is about brides that came to New Zealand after the end of WW11. I was able to borrow it from a library so better read it before it is due back on the 18th.
Do you believe I haven't read any JoJo Moyes?!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of reading The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect this week as well!
Deb
It was my first too by her so was a good one to begin with. I loved The Rosie Project and will reserve my ideas about The Rosie Effect till finished!
DeleteLooks like some good books. I think I have a Maggie Shayne in my to read pile. Look forward to seeing what you think of her books.
ReplyDeleteYes Viki, will be interesting to try a new author!
DeleteGlad your 1st read was fitting!
ReplyDeleteand I am so interested in that Brides book - a Canadian author wrote of that topic and was very well received. I'll check my library as well...
HapPy New Year and New Reading Kathryn!
Sounds interesting, I wonder what the name of it is?
DeleteI liked First Frost myself. Magical with a touch of whimsy!
ReplyDeleteExactly. Well said.
DeleteI love JoJo Moyes books and want to read One Plus One. I'd love to read The Rosie Project too. Enjoy your reading week!
ReplyDeleteGreat. One Plus One is certainly worth a read.
DeleteI loved One Plus One! And I can't wait to read First Frost! I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI did indeed enjoy First Frost.
DeleteI loved The Rosie Project but from all that I've heard of the sequel, it's a bit disappointing, so I haven't bothered to get a copy. Think I will keep it as a standalone in my head!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of Jojo Moyes's books but have yet to read them! Me Before You and Night Music. I've been warned I'll need tissues, lots of tissues, for the former!
I'm enjoying First Frost and can't wait to read your review of Come What May. I was offered a review book about brides arriving in NZ around WWII, I couldn't accept as I was going away but I must check if I still have the email ... I was curious about it then and more so now but the title you mention doesn't sound familiar.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week and happy reading :)
No this one was published in 2007 in Dutch and 2010 in English. I finished First Frost and enjoyed another visit to Bascom!
DeleteOoo Come What May sounds really good!! And I love the cover. I will have to check that series out. Also, I can't wait to read First Frost! I love Sarah Addison Allen. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Come What May was an amazing read and First Frost delivers!
DeleteA good week of reading for you. I have The Rosie Project and The Littlest Cowboy on my Kindle to read. I haven't read One Plus One, but did read Me Before You. I put it off for nearly a year for the same reason you did, I was slightly afraid of being so sad. I did need tissues, but not any more than The Fault in Our Stars. Go ahead and read it, it is very goo.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I don't even remember buying The Littlest Cowboy but I am doing a challenge to clear out my ereader ( a little!) so tagged it as one to read!
DeleteI'm seeing First Frost a lot lately - maybe I need to add it to my list! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteMost likely because it is published on 20th Jan. Always good to have a buzz about a new book!
DeleteLooks like a great week! I am getting First Frost soon, but must read my new copy of Garden Spells first. Thanks for visiting my blog, and have another good week!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Garden Spells.
DeleteI have One Plus One on my shelf to be read - I really should get around to it soon! Any good so far?
ReplyDeleteExcellent, highly recommend.
DeleteWill get onto it soon!
DeleteI loved the Rosie Project, but have read that The Rosie Effect does not appeal as much to readers of the first book. Interested to hear what you thought. I look forward to One Plus One this year!
ReplyDeleteUm yeah! The Rosie Effect is not as good, no laughs yet! However fact that it is on audio helps a little. Oh yes, that beautiful book swag you won had quite a few of Jojo Moyes I noticed. Drooling!
DeleteYes The R Effect isn't as good, but fact that it is audio helps. Yes I saw you had a few Jojo Moyes in the book swag you won. Drools! Although One Plus One may not have been in that.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are getting off to a great start for the new year!
ReplyDeleteFirst frost! I am all jealous now
ReplyDeleteI read one of Jojos books in 2014, and found it most enjoyable. I hope you will have a Happy Reading Year in 2015. Also thanks for visiting my little corner of the world recently.
ReplyDeleteYour reading year is off to a good start. I see several books you have that I'd like to read as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy new Year- and thank you for sending that spoof link. I thought it was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it, I loved it. Have watched it a few times!
DeleteI am finishing up Rosie, and have wanted to read the Moyes book!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog (Always Reiding)--I cannot wait to hear your thoughts about the books next week!
