 What I Reviewed This Week

I'm working on reviewing a huge stack of fifteen books.




 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.

    Kathy, Reading Magic was...well, magical. It made things very simple and, after IRA last week, I needed a little bit of simple.

    Thanks for stopping by - here's hoping your new shelf additions are all great reads. A Curious Man looks like it could be an interesting read!

    WOW! You got some great books and finished some good-looking titles, too. Now that the Read-a-thon is done, my reading mojo is still cranking. I busted through 1/2 of Young House Love last night and will be finishing up Relish by Lucy Knisley. :)

    Wow, what a wonderful list! I am currently reading James Lee Burke's "The Glass Rainbow" - Burke is always an awesome read - but with summer coming, I'm going to be in the mood to read about tropical islands and pirates soon!
