What I Might Read Next I'm back from Chicago this week, and I have a giant stack of possibilities to read next. Which do you recommend? |
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.
OOoh nice! Not familiar with most of these. I still need to read Insurgent too! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Monday Wrapup
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I certainly felt proud to finally write and post a ton of book reviews!
DeleteI just finished Insurgent yesterday! Hope you like it. I think you should read Beautiful Ruins next, I want to get to it, but I don't think I will anytime soon, so I want to see if you like it :P
ReplyDeleteYes, I need to get right to Beautiful Ruins. Thanks!
DeleteI like the look of The Light Between Oceans. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteMY MONDAY MEMES POST
Very, very sad story.
DeleteI finished Glen Duncan's "The Last Werewolf" this weekend. Good book. Still working on the "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" and really enjoying that one.
ReplyDeleteGuernsey is perfect for summer.
DeleteParis My Sweet looks like a book I would enjoy. I will have to check it out. All of your upcoming selections look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
Rebecca @ The Key to the Gate
Yes, Paris My Sweet is delicious.
DeleteI had the same feeling about that John Green book, now I really must get to it!
ReplyDeleteI read another JG book, Looking for Alaska, but it didn't hit me in the gut like this one did.
DeleteWhat a stack! Why not read The Power of Habit or Then Again next? Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI've started a little of both of these. Hope I have time to finish them before the Kindle library book disappears!
DeleteA lot of wonderful reading happening here. If it were me I would read Dairy Queen next.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
It's so difficult to decide!
DeleteI love that you are reading from the 1001 Children's Book list. I should check that out so my son and I can work through it!
ReplyDeleteI'm part of a Yahoo group that is reading these books together, if you are interested.
DeleteI haven't stopped by for a while. How is your summer going? I see you've had a busy week reading happily. I am glad that you liked John Green's The Fault in Our Stars. He's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThis has been the best summer! Thanks for stopping by, Anne.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to what you think of Insurgent - everyone has been seeming to love it. :)
ReplyDeleteCheck out what I'm reading at Between the Bind.
You spent a lot of time in Paris I see :) That's fantastic! I need to pick up the John Green..it's past time for me to do so, thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week of reading!
