It's Monday What Are You Reading?

1/13/2014

This weekly meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

So this past week was Bout of Books 9.0, and I had to participate vicariously. I didn't sign up for the readathon, because it was supposed to be the first week back to school from Christmas vacation. I knew I wouldn't have any extra free time to spend reading. And then 17 inches of snow and a polar vortex hit, and I didn't go back to school until Thursday. If only I had known!

I have enjoyed the Anne series. The prequel looks pretty interesting! I also enjoyed Around the World in Eighty Days. So then I read 20K leagues under the sea! Great adventures.

Polar Vortex! I just love saying that for some reason! :) We had 10 inches and below zero temps! Crazy for Mid Missouri!

I see some old favorites on there! I think I've read all of L. M. Montgomery's books multiple times. I enjoyed Big Stone Gap but I need to keep going with the series. Enjoy your week!

The Blue Castle is one of my favorite LM Montgomery books, if not my absolute favorite. Considering I read the entire Anne series until all 9 book covers were falling off, that says a lot. Enjoy!
