It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

badge

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!

Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels, anything in the world of kidlit – join them!

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 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.

  13. 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.
    I'll be spending an Audible credit for Still Me. I loved listening to the second book. Have a great week, Kathryn!

  17. 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.

  18. Enjoy 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!

  21. Your 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!

  25. Oh Steel's cover is stunning. I've not read her in ages. Too bad it wasn't as strong as it could have been.

  26. I 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!
