It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (1.2.12)

It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, is the 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, I was a review writing machine…I can’t believe I managed to get seven reviews done – the end of the year was a great motivator to catch up! Later today I will be posting all the challenges I am participating in and these will help drive the books I choose to read in this new year.

Books Completed last week:

  • The Next Always by Nora Roberts (library book)
  • On Strike for Christmas by Sheila Roberts (mine)
  • Kismet by Carly Phillips (e-book)
  • Death by Diamonds by Annette Blair (mine)

Reading Now:

  • Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani (mine)

Next:

  • The Kitchen Daughter by Jael McHenry (review book)
  • Alex Cross Trial by James Patterson (mine)

    I should probably really start reading some Patterson! I know most people like his work but I haven't jumped on board! I hope you have a good reading week!

    Happy Reading!

    @Book Lady I read most of Patterson's books…there are a few series that I do not care but, but on the whole, you can expect quick, suspenseful reads.

    I have Big Stone Gap on my TBR for this year. I have heard such great things about it!

    The Kitchen Daughter, Still Alice and Kill Alex Cross are books I wanted to read last year but did not. They are on my list for 2012. You had a great reading week! Here's to another one. 🙂

    I loved the Big Stone Gap series! Hope you do too. It was my first introduction to Trigiani and after that I read (almost) all her books.

    Have a good week!

    @ Sunnysmileqt: I just finished Big Stone Gap and I enjoyed it…I have the rest of the series and am looking forward to reading them.

    @ Sheila: I've heard good things about The Kitchen Daughter and can't wait to start it.

    @ Shonda: I usually end up reading the James Patterson books as soon as they come out.

    @ Leeswammes: My first intro to Trigiani was with the first two Valentine books, which I loved.

    @ Marce: I really enjoyed Still Alice as well as her other book, Left Neglected.
