What I Finished Last Week
Nothing.
Oh dear.
Nothing? I finished nothing last week?
Odd. Disconcerting.

What I Reviewed Last Week  Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis by Lauren F. Winner 
When I Was a Child I Read Books by Marilynne Robinson And here's a treat: I received a little audio clip from the Macmillan audiobook, When I Was a Child, read by the author herself: Audio Clip: When I Was a Child I Read Books |
What I Might Read Next
Tomorrow is the start of my Book Un-Birthday Month, so I hope to read any un-birthday books that will arrive in the mail for me. Of course, I'm always open to suggestions! |
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! 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.
At least you are starting to read!
ReplyDeleteYes, but I must find a book soon that I can't stop reading...not one that I'm forcing myself to read.
DeleteWe all have bad weeks, so don't feel to bad about not finishing a book! Hope you have a better week this week! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Monday Wrapup
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I worry about getting in some kind of perpetual slump.
DeleteGreat list! Still looks interesting. I dont know what a book "Un-Birthday" is... am I out of the loop? :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy you day no matter what 0 I am reading The Most Dangerous Thing - Lippman
When I was a child I read books - that book looks really interesting. I don't think Ive ever read a book or essays but you've made me want to look into this one a bit more. Thanks for that :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's smart and thoughtful...maybe a little over my head, at times, but I like that.
DeleteThe title alone is intriguing to me because that sums up my adult reading life in a sentence. I've always identified myself as a reader, but then I looked up one day and realized I wasn't reading anything but blogs and magazines! That is what made me start my book blog. I may have to check that book out.
DeleteOur Un-birthday Book Group has been around for seven or eight years, I think. It is a Yahoo group that came out of a book list called On the Porch Swing. I love it. Especially when my Un-birthday Month is next!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your thoughts on Bloom, a book I plan to read as well. Have a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteWe all have weeks like that. It's a horrible feeling but sometimes you need a break to catch up on everything else. I read your review on the Marilynne Robinson book. It sounds good but will take your advice and maybe pick it up when I have more time to spend on it.
ReplyDeleteYou have me curious, what's an Un-Birthday?
I've added Still to my tbr list because of you. I hope you're enjoying Bloom. Right now I'm reading Learned Optimism by Seligman for a research project and Game of Thrones. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious about Bloom...will have to check that one out! Hope you find that book you can't put down!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week and thanks for stopping by my blog!
Kristin @ Always With a Book
I love Marilynne Robinson's books...so I want that one! I saw Bloom in the bookstore last week and was SO tempted...but I kind of went crazy on Amazon, so I stopped myself. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteHere's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
Bloom has beautiful photos, too.
Delete:) Every week is a new week! You'll get something read this week....and the cover on Bloom? Magnifique!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!!
What are YOU reading??
I try to read books on the Dymocks list of best 101 Books of all Time (it's online)- you can pretty much guarantee a good read from those books!
ReplyDeletexx
I'll check this out.
DeleteI hope this week is a finishing week for you! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry to much, some times life gets in the way of our reading but I have found books wait pretty patiently unless of course you have a review deadline, :)
ReplyDeleteI hope this week is better!!
If it wasn't for audiobooks there would be times when I finished nothing too!
ReplyDeleteUnbirthday? Like the Mad Hatter's tea party type birthday? LOL
Maybe I need to get a few audiobooks to help my numbers!
DeleteGive it a try. It's nice having someone read to me while I'm doing boring things like cleaning the house or cooking. And if I listen to something humorous I don't need to concentrate too much either!
DeleteBloom and Still have very different but both very interesting covers. I'm definitely a Cover Girl. :) I hope you enjoy your reads this week!

My It’s Monday!
I didn't know Kelle came out with a book on her baby girl! I read the story a few years ago and it is such an amazing tear jerker. I'll need to read her book now. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a powerful story.
DeleteNot heard of any of those books but I do hope you enjoy them :) Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it would be for everyone, but Rotters by Daniel Kraus is kind of blowing me away. The writing is fantastic. It is about a boy learning the trade of graverobbing from his father, though, so if you're not into that you probably wouldn't like it.
ReplyDeleteI have weeks where I finish nothing. Disconcerting is exactly the word.
