It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

5/19/2014

This weekly meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

So I didn't do an It's Monday! post last week because nothing had changed. I was still reading the same book, still had the same book coming up. Life has been busy! Thankfully, I was able to squeeze a few more reading moments this past week, so now I have something update-like to share!

A Romance on Three Legs was an interesting and intriguing book. I definitely recommend it!

Living in a Foreign Language looks amazing! I am a giant Italy fangirl too. I am so jealous of your upcoming trip!!! Send me a postcard! Lol.

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase - I haven't read that in forever! Maybe I will do that this summer. :)

I love Italy. And isn't it great that we can read about it, even if we don't get to visit? The wonders of reading!

I've never read The Wolves of Willoughby Chase before. I'm enjoying it for sure!

I totally missed out on The Wolves of Willoughby Chase as a kid. This is the first time I'm reading, but I know I would have enjoyed it as a kid, too! (Although the wolves are kind of scary...)

I LOVE L.M. Montgomery and think I really have read all her work. Much of it is available as free e books, too. Most people never get beyond Anne! Glad you're enjoying Kilmeny, but changing narrators would be weird.

Montgomery is one of my favorite authors. I've read a lot of her work, but not all of it. I'm trying to remedy that!
