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 managed to be a productive reading week, but not so much with reviews…I foresee lots of reviews being done this week. I also got a new laptop – the old one crashed one time too many for me. I’m still getting used to the new one, but at least I don’t have to worry about it crashing! The Spring Reading Thing ends today and I did pretty well – look for my wrap up post to come out something during the day tomorrow.

Room is a great choice for a book club! Such a powerful novel. Happy reading 🙂
Here's my Monday:

@Kat P I'm looking forward to starting it soon. I'm glad my book club picked it for this month as it is forcing me to read it now instead of whenever I get to it!
I have heard fantastic things about Room. I still have yet to get it.
@Lisa (Lisa's World of Books) As I mentioned earlier, thank goodness my book club picked it…I've had my eye on it for a while but just haven't gotten to it yet. Now I have no choice!
I look forward to 2 of the reviews specifically. Enjoy your week Krisitn.

Room definitely sounds like one of those books you just have to read, I really need to get myself a copy. 😉
I hope you have an awesome week! Happy Reading! 😀

My "It's Monday, What Are You Reading?" Post
@ Marce: My plan is to get to at least three of the reviews besides the two that are for tours this week. The rest will be up by next week.
@ Ambur: I've heard its a really intense book!
I think the Confessions of Catherine de Medici sounds like a winner. Looking forward to your review.
