It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (10.29.12)

It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, isthe perfect way
for me to
begin my week and allows me to

accomplished the previous week.

discovering new books by

    I hope the storm fizzles out and passes over all without causing great harm.

    Here's my It's Monday! What Are You Reading? I hope you will stop in and say hello.

      I hope so, but that's not looking like it will be the case…I believe the storm has strengthened!

    I remembered a time when I was in the university when I was positively addicted to Nora Roberts and Jude Deveraux. 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your reading week! 🙂

      You just can't go wrong with Nora Roberts! I have read a few Jude Deveraux as well.

    I'm so jealous that you're reading Wolf Hall–I've had that one on my list for a long time. Hope you're enjoying it!

      I need to get back to that one…I put it aside to get to some review books and haven't picked it up in a while!

    I like your mixture of slower reads and easy-going books. I try to read an easy book after a more difficult one too.

    Have a great week!

      Too many slow reads and I don't feel like reading so I always try to balance…that's the good thing about having a wide range of reading interests!

    I loved so many of the books you mentioned, like the Elizabeth Berg book; Love Anthony; the Hot Flash Club series; and the Big Stone Gap books. I have only read three or four Janet Evanovich books (one was not a Stephanie Plum). I really need to catch up! Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.

      I am loving the Stephanie Plum series, and haven't tried any of Janet Evanovich's other books. The Hot Flash Club is hysterical!!!

      Yes, it definitely was busy! I love audio books,too.

    Oh my gosh stay safe!

    I have not read the Stone Gap series but it sounds like one that I would really enjoy. I love books that are set in small towns with great characters. 🙂 I will have to check it out.

      Thanks…we're hunkered down and I have a stack of books to read. Still have power at the moment, but not sure how long that will last!

    I read The Lincoln Conspiracy about a month ago and really liked it. I'll be curious to see what you think of it!

      I'm glad to hear you liked it…I'm a little weary of it, but will give it a go!

    I love that you have a mix of different books in your reading pile (review, ebook, audio, personal and from library). I wish I was more balanced that way. I will have to make it my goal for the new year.

    I read and loved Genova's first two books and can't wait to read Love Anthony. I'm heading off to read your review.

    I hope you fare well during this storm. Looking forward to Love Anthony. Have a great week of reading.

    I'm really itching to get my hands on a copy of that new Lisa Genova and I hope you're enjoying Wolf Hall as much as I did. Looks like we have some similar tastes! Great minds and all that 😉

    Have a great week!

    I hope you stay safe in the storm. The Janet Evonovich series should help keep your mind off the weather, its hilarious.

    Wishing you a great reading week

    Stay safe! Except for the abundance of CYBILS reading, things are back to normal. My favorite book was How to Wash a Cat by Rebecca M. Hale. Please come see what I'm reading now.

    You certainly had a busy blogging week. Wow. I've been reading lately, but my heart hasn't been into blogging. Maybe after the election I'll be more interested again.

    I hope you came through the storm all safe. Hmm – Wolf Hall sounds interesting. I sort of got stuck on Evanovich at Four… I may have to try again.
    Hope your reading has been good this week.
