What are you reading this week?
Enjoy these last couple of weeks before school starts!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I certainly hope to do that. :)
DeleteEnjoy the rest of the holidays and your books!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mystica!
DeleteThe Snow Queen is on my wishlist and Friendship looks like cute chick-lit. Hope you enjoy the last days of summer with the kids!
ReplyDeleteThe Snow Queen was ok. Cunningham's The Hours is one of my all time favorites and I sometimes wonder if any of his other books will live up to that one!
DeleteWe start early Sept too- coming up fast! Interrupted and Tigerman both look good. I like the cover of The Snow Queen as well.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe summer is almost gone. Are your kids excited or dreading going back to school?
DeleteInterrupted was great and I think Tigerman will be good, although I started it and put it back down again. I don't think I was in the right mood to read it!
I love the look of the first two :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! A pretty cover is always a good start for a book, isn't it?
DeleteI hate it when Jesus does that...and he is always doing that!
ReplyDeleteHere's my It's Monday!
He is always doing that. I guess that means we are paying attention to him!
DeleteI've enjoyed a couple of Michael Cunningham's books. Hope to read The Snow Queen soon.
ReplyDeleteWhich ones were your favorites?
DeleteThe Hundred year old house is on my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week!
It is such an interesting premise for a story. I hope you have a great week too!
DeleteSchool starts for me next Monday! I plan to relax as hard as I can this week since it is my last vacation week. You can see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteGood! I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing week before you get back to the craziness. :)
DeleteI need to know ALL the thoughts on The Hundred Year House and The Snow Queen!
ReplyDeleteI liked them both, but I didn't love either one. I hate saying that!
DeleteHow was Interrupted? The title is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteIt was really good. It really resonated with my life right now and Jen is a great writer!
DeleteSchool starts next week for my sons, and my oldest moves back onto campus this Friday, so super busy here, too!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books this week!

Oh my goodness, you do have a crazy week! I hope everything goes smoothly. :)
DeleteWow, the cover of Tigerman is swell.
ReplyDeleteI'm readying Sea Glass this week, by my favorite fantasy author, Maria V. Snyder and am currently wondering how Opal, the protagonist is going to get out of (yet another) life threatening experience.
I know. It's such a fun cover!
DeleteI've never read anything by Snyder. Where should a newbie start??
