The Readerbuzz October Giveaway: Matched! plus It's Monday! What Are You Reading?


WHAT I'M READING TODAY

It's Monday and I'm reading One Amazing Thing by Chitra Divakaruni. It's the Gulf Coast Reads selection for 2011. Gulf Coast Reads is the combined effort of the Houston Public Library along with several other Texas Gulf Coast library systems, including, happily, the system in my county.

WHAT I FINISHED LAST WEEK

WHAT I WILL PROBABLY READ NEXT



How about you?  What are you reading today?



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!

  4. I always mention "The Cabot Cove Effect" when I talk about my books. You wouldn't want to live in Blacklin County, which has more murders per capita than anywhere in the world.

  11. The Janet Evanovich is a future read for me. I have yet to pick it up but it's on my list. Probably when I am in the mood for something light and funny.
