It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between!  This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!

I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! As part of this weekly meme Book Journey loves to encourage you all to go and visit the others participating in this meme. Book Journey offers a weekly contest for those who visit 10 or more of the Monday Meme participants and leave a comment telling BJ how many you visited.

Interesting mix of titles. Looking forward to your review of "Watership Down" - i have (very hazy) memories of seeing the movie a long time ago.

Have a lovely reading week :) here are my reads: http://virtual-notes.blogspot.de/search/label/bookshelf

Oh, you've finished Watership Down already! I need to get a wriggle on, still only about half way through. Interesting to see that your cover calls it- America's Beloved #1 Bestseller. I wonder why they really needed to do that, given that it's overwhelmingly English? I don't know anything at all about that Odd Fish book, but love the cover.

To motivate me to finish it this weekend, I went ahead and wrote up this little blog post, showing that I'd finished it. That got me reading!

I wonder how Richard Adams, an American, I suppose, wrote a book with such a strong English setting.

I'm looking forward to your review of Watership Down. This is one I started a few years back and gave up on.

Nice selection of books!

Oh, I haven't heard of any of those books, but they sound interesting! Especially the Order of Odd Fish!
Happy Reading :)

Very nice! Lots of familiar titles. I own Watership Down but haven't read it yet. I watched the film adaptation, but kind of fell asleep halfway through. Hehe. I also own the Odd Fish Book but haven't read it yet. Great reads! :)

Hi there, I'm not sure whether my previous comment went through. Do feel free to delete this one in case this is a duplication.
I have Watership Down but haven't read it yet. I watched the film adaptation with my daughter and fell asleep halfway through (hehehe). I also have The Odd Fish book lying unloved in my bookshelves but as per usual, I haven't read it yet. Do let me know how you found it.

I haven't read Watership Down, but it definitely rings a bell...like, oh, I should have read this one!

Enjoy your week, and here'sMY MONDAY MEMES POST

I am reading a Christian Fiction / Mystery called You Don't Know Me by Susan May Warren. So far - really good. Only a few pages in, but can't wait to get back to it.

Quite a mix - always fun to read stuff from different genres :)

Happy reading this week! Whatcha readin' this week @ the Brunette Librarian :)

I have seen the movie for Watership Down but I admit I haven't read it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Skyjack sounds interesting! I find that DB Cooper story pretty fascinating :) I can't believe I've never read Watership Down..eeek!

Have a great week of reading!

The Order of Odd-Fish has such a cool cover. It sounds like a fun read too. There's nothing like being transported to a magical world. :)

Dvora said...

Oooo, Skyjack looks good. I'm reading (rereading actually) Adam Gopnik's Paris to the Moon. I read it a few years ago (not that many) and unfortunately, don't remember a thing. I should just go in and reread ALL my books and save a lot on my book-buying budget for the year.

Tanya Patrice said...

Ooh I love the cover for Skyjack - hope the book is just as good.

Between the Bind said...

I am currently reading Death's Dream Kingdom - which is a surprisingly good read. Great first paragraph! :) Thank you for stopping by Between the Bind!

xo,

I'm in a really bad reading slump so I have no idea what I'm going to read this week. I hope you have a good week.

Les said...

I'm still reading the same books as last week: The Passage (Justin Cronin) and The Thorn Birds (Colleen McCullough). I've always wanted to try Watership Down. Off to see if my library has it on audio.

Lei B said...

Those books are unfamiliar to me but Watership Down looks interesting!
