What are you reading this week?


Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at The Printed Page. We share books that we found in our mailboxes last week.  

 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.

    OWW YES for Between Shades of Gray. I loved that book and I hope you will too.

    And tell me... what do I have to do to make my nephew the smartest in the world?

    Ciska, based on the book, I'd say that he needs to move to either Korea or Finland! :-)

    I really like your list and have added several to my wishlist. Between Shades of Gray and Sew Zoey are in my shopping cart :-)

    You'd think I'd be fully stocked, shrug, some of then will end up as DNF or unread at this time.

    I can't wait to read your reviews. I started reading Between Shades of Gray when it was first published, but didn't get a chance to finish it. Hope you enjoy it. Today I'm reading Focus by Daniel Goleman (non-fiction) and XO Orpheus which is modern retellings of Greek and Roman myths.

    Between Shades of Gray looks good (and better than that *other* book, which I didn't read). XX Factor and Smartest Kids looks like intriguing reads when I am in the mood for non-fiction. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for stopping by earlier. Have a great week and happy reading.

    I have a copy of The XX Factor I've been meaning to get to, too...though I think it's going to make me a little angry ;). I really want to read The Smartest Kids in the World and Some Nerve - great picks you have!
