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.
The last two weeks have gone by in a blur and I’m sorry to say that I haven’t accomplished much reading-wise or review-wise. Part of it was due to my work schedule being completely hectic, but the other part is that I am just about 3 months pregnant and have been so tired that I often fall asleep when I sit to read. Hopefully my energy level will be back to normal soon. At least work will be quiet until after the new year.
Books Completed in the last 2 weeks:
- Inseparable by Dora Heldt (review book)
- Knit the Season by Kate Jacobs (library audio book)
Reading Now:
- Secrets of the Tudor Court: By Royal Decree by Kate Emerson (mine)
- Still Alice by Lisa Genova (library audio book)
Next:
- Shanghai Girls by Lisa See (mine)
- The Kitchen Daughter by Jael McHenry (review book)
Reviews completed in the past two weeks:
- Peony in Love by Lisa See

What about you? What does your reading week look like this week? Whatever it is, happy reading and have a good week!
I loved reading books to my little ones. Have you heard about Angels in the water? I just thought you might like to read it while you are pregnant. Congratulations on your little one and happy Christmas!
A nice summary of where you are, readingwise! Thank you.
Here's my It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
Great list Kristin! I read Shanghai Girls at the end of last year and loved it. I also just picked up Still Alice as an early birthday present to myself. I read Left Neglected earlier in the year and have heard that Still Alice is even better so I'm super excited!
@ Jackie: I haven't heard of Angels in the Water – will have to check it out.
@ Deb: Thanks…I find that doing this each week really helps keep me on track, especially with getting my reviews done!
@ Bonnie: I loved Left Neglected which is why I picked up Still Alice. I'm looking forward to reading Shanghai Girls – I really like Lisa See's writing style.
I am curious how Knit The Season is on audio. I cant seem to get enough audio in the house 🙂
I haven't even heard of most of the books you've listed. LOL. I think I better go check some of them. :0
