It’s Monday – What Are You Reading? (6.13.11)

It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, isthe perfect way for me to begin my week and allows me to focus on what needs to be read and to see what I have or have not accomplished the previous week. I also enjoy discovering new books by visiting other participants blogs.

Last week was Audio Book Week hosted by Jen at Devourer of Books and I had a great time finding out about new audio books as well as resources for finding them. I’m hoping this week is productive as far as reading goes – I have a few review books to get to as well as some other books that I put down on the Spring Reading Thing challenge that I still need to finish reading…only one more week left in that challenge!

  • A Creed in Stone Creek by Linda Lael Miller (mine)
  • Creed’s Honor by Linda Lael Miller (review book)
  • Slate by Brian Rowe (e-book, review book) 

Reading Now:

  • The Confessions of Catherine de Medici by CW Gortner (review book)
  • Chasing the Night by Iris Johansen (library audio book)
  • Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff (book club book, mine)

    @ We Fancy Books – thanks!

    @ Bonnie: The Confessions of Catherine de Medici is really good so far…I'm hoping to set aside a huge chunk of time today to continue reading it.

    I have a hard time with audio books. Being disabled with only one hand that works fully, I never know what to do with my hands while listening. Boy I wish I could still do all the hobbies I used to, then audio books would be awesome!!!

    I celebrated 24 years of keeping a book diary. The flu kept me from reading at my usually insane pace but I did finish some books. Come see what they were.
