It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

6/19/2017

This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date.

I had some family visiting over the weekend, so I got a chance to play tourist in my area, which was fun. It was especially fun to see my little guy interacting with his second cousins. Lots of giggles!

My Recent Post

How Do You Read a Series?

What I Read Last Week

Grace Alone by Ruth Meyer (This book was so good! Uplifting and romantic, with a twist in the middle you could never see coming!)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo (That's how it ends?? What??)
On the Road by Jack Kerouac (I'm glad I read it, but it was a pretty tedious read. They drink, do drugs, sleep with women, and travel across the country. Repeatedly. I got the point by about page 30, but there were still 300 to go!)

What I'm Reading Now

The Seduction of the Crimson Rose by Lauren Willig (I'm trying to be a good reader - this is both a book I own and the next book in a series I'm taking forever to read. I'm looking forward to it.)

What's Coming Up Next

The Golden Specific by S.E. Grove (This is a thick book. Hopefully I can finish it by its due date at the end of the month!)

I enjoyed that Pink Carnation series. I think I read it mostly back to back last summer (or maybe the summer before). I recalled them fondly when I unpacked the Ws from my keeper shelves a few days ago. On the Road is a book I've never tried and your brief comments don't make me eager to add it to my list. Come see my week <a href="http://inside-dog.blogspot.com/2017/06/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-june-19.html">here</a>. Happy reading!

Oh my goodness, I remember reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame in high school. I was devastated by that book. What a depressing ending!

Cousin time is so fun! I love watching my kids with their cousins.

I'm re-reading On the Road (well, I was until I had to put it in storage for the move). I'm doing a road narrative project for fun. Anyway — I find Kerouac's books over the top and ridiculous.

Summer vacation has begun and so has the extreme heat. <a href="http://pussreboots.com/blog/2017/comments_06/what_are_you_reading_0619.html">Come see what I'm reading</a>.
