It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organise yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!
I am away this week travelling up north to Rotorua so I won't be here to visit you all this week. I'll be back later in the week.
What I read last week:
The Duchess was okay, although I found the telling of the story a little too much. This Must Be the Place was very well written and told in an interesting structure that required me to keep track of all the jigsaw pieces.
I listened to Still Me on audio and it was very well done on the whole. And I enjoyed it.
What I am reading at present:
As soon as I saw this in the shop I had to buy it! I am only a little way in and not missing one word of it. But no... I am not going to live in Alaska.
Just started listening to this one. Again I was going to borrow it from the library but a long waiting list and as I have a road journey I thought I'd get into this one while travelling. I have at least 500 books in my wish list at Audible and I find it so hard to choose. Almost went for a reread.
I hope you are enjoying your trip.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time! Looking forward to Still Me and The Great Alone.
ReplyDeleteHere's My Week
Enjoy your travels! I hope you love The Great Alone.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Danielle Steel in years...but the books of hers I did enjoy were the historical fiction.
Thanks for sharing...and have a great week.
Enjoy your time away. I've been wanting to read a Lucinda Riley book for some time now. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThis Must Be the Place looks interesting. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and lovely trip. Hope it is a good week and Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteHappy traveling!! Hope you have a fantastic week!!!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels - see you next week x
ReplyDeleteKathryn, I've just finished The Great Alone; I hope you enjoy it! Hope you have a wonderful trip and a great week; thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great trip!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to This Must Be the Place at some point this year.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just tried The Great Alone...sadly didn't work for me.
Have a wonderful trip! Those authors are all new to me. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI hope your "sister" visit is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the cover on the Danielle Steele book.
See you next week.
One of my sisters and her husband have lived in Alaska for many years. She's a teacher and loves it there. I really need to visit someday.
ReplyDeleteI'll be spending an Audible credit for Still Me. I loved listening to the second book. Have a great week, Kathryn!
That's Steel to you ;)
ReplyDeleteI had to google Rotorua and it looks beautiful! Have a fun time visiting!
ReplyDeleteLooks like some nice variety in your reading lately - I like Maggie O'Farrell - glad you liked her novel (I still need to read that one).
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful trip!

Book By Book
Hope you are enjoying your current reads/listens.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently listening too: Kiss of Pride by Sandra Hill & The Harder You Fall by Gena Showalter. Going to be reading: Lure of the Fox by Anna Lowe this week.
I hope you are having the best time. I had to look up some of your covers. That Riley series is one I want to read this year. I'm slowly working on my post. I wanted to set up the new blog first but don't want to have a back log of books.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip and whatever you listen to. I have the Lucinda Riley series on my TBR. IT sounds fantastic. That's too bad about The Duchess. I kind of burned out on Steel years ago but I was thinking of picking it up because I like the cover. I think I'll pass. I have the Kristin Hannah on my TBR. It looks great but I don't want to move to Alaska anytime soon! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your travels. It's always nice to get away for a while and come back refreshed.
ReplyDeleteLots of good books on your list! I love the cover of The Great Alone. Haven't heard of it though, so I'll have to investigate a bit!
ReplyDeleteYour Lucinda Riley choice is a great one. I love listening to the Seven Sisters books on Audiobook, the accents are beautiful! Enjoy your reads, I'm starting The Great Alone soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like The Great Alone. That one is on my TBR list. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I hope you enjoy your trip. I think I'd like the Duchess.
ReplyDeleteMany people seem to reading The Great Alone. I really like Kristen Hannah's books and hope to read this one soon. Ooooo...my want to read list is growing! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Steel's cover is stunning. I've not read her in ages. Too bad it wasn't as strong as it could have been.
ReplyDeleteI liked Still Me and thought The Great Alone was fantastic! I don't think I'd like living in Alaska though. :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read The Pearl Sister and The Great Alone. Have a good time in Rotorua.
