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.
I am in the middle of participating in my first ever read-a-thon, the Summer Wrap-Up Read-a-thon which runs from August 4 – August 12, and I am having a great time and getting in tons of reading. I also found out that there is another read-a-thon coming up right after this one ends – the Bout of Books Read-a-thon runs from August 13 – August 19 and I will be participating in that one, too. Perhaps by the end of both read-a-thons, I might just be caught up on some of the review books that I have received lately.

What
about you? What does your reading
week look like this
week? Whatever it is,
happy reading and have a good
week!
The readathons sound like so much fun and a great way to catch up, I haven't done one in ages!
Still Missing was intense, I'm off to check out your review.
Have another wonderful week 🙂
So far, I've gotten quite a few books done, so I'm pretty happy.
Yes, intense is definitely the right word for Still Missing – great but WOW!
Okay – so many on your list that I want to read too! Are you loving Girl with Dragon Tattoo series? I liked Robyn Carr and do have more of her on my Kindle that I want to get back to. Also, On the Run intrigues me. Great list!
I am loving the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series. I had read book 1 about 2 years ago and then never got around to the other two books. I decided to listen to book 1 so that I could refresh my memory of what happened before starting book 2. Once I finished book 2 I couldn't wait to start book 3, but had some review books to get to first.
I love the Robyn Carr series. Have you read her Grace Valley series? I want to read that one next.
Goodness – lots of book you've finished.
Have a good week, happy reading
My Monday Reading
That's because of the read-a-thon which started Saturday. Since then I've been averaging 1 book a day.
Great list of books! I still have not read the Steig Larsson series.

They are really good books – a little disturbing at times, but overall, they hook you in from the first page.
I participated in one Read-a-Thon awhile ago, but got distracted by other books…sigh.
I have the second Stieg Larsson book on my stack…soon!
Hope you enjoyed Ninepins.
Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
The second Stieg Larsson book was great and I just started the third this morning.
Ninepins was good. Have you read anything else by her?
I have those Stieg Larsson books on my TBR mountainm but haven't had a chance to start them yet. And I am a big fan of Iris Johansen. My Monday Report is here. Happy reading!
I read the first book about 2 years ago and then just didn't have time to get to the next two. But I decided this summer both were getting read. They are really good, by the way!
Sometimes I think I am the only person in the world who hasn't read the Stieg Larsson books yet! They do look awesome, I have got to get around to reading them 🙂
Happy reading this week!!!
Check out what I'm reading and enter for a giveaway!
They completely suck you in…you don't want to put the books down!
Fantastic Selection of Books!!
I am reading Sweet Talk by Julie Garwoof right now.
Happy Reading!!
I'm not familiar with that book – will have to check it out.
You have been incredibly busy on the book front! I look forward to reading what you think about the Larsson books.
That's only because of the read-a-thon. The Larsson books are really good. Did you read them?
Another great week of reading for you. Hope the read-a-thons result in tons of reading as well. Loved Spring Fever
I am hoping they do, too. Spring Fever was good. Have you read any others by her?
That is a big stack of books read and to be read, awesome! I haven't read any of the Larsson books, I suppose I'll get around to them one of these days 😉
I highly recommend them – they suck you in and you don't want to put them down until you are done.
I'm doing the read-a-thons too! Good luck!

Hope you are getting lots done!
