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!

    1. Curious to see what you think about this book. I thought I'd read it, but, if I did, I didn't write a review. Maybe I'm remembering another David Mitchell book, Black Swan Green.

  3. I am very excited about We Sinners anyway, but five "buzzes" is high praise indeed. Thanks for visiting my blog, and enjoy your week. Le Road Trip looks like another good read.

  17. Paris, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down sounds interesting, though I expected the reasons for disappointment and readjustment to be different than the blurb on Goodreads makes it sound.
