It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

1/5/2015

This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

Back to real life and routine again. I had a wonderful Christmas break, including a trip to Florida and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!! (I promise to post pictures soon.) 2015 is off to a great start so far, mostly because there is finally snow on the ground! So many things to look forward to and enjoy in this coming year. I hope your new year has been wonderful so far, as well!

I love C.S. Lewis, too. I've lost track of how many times I've read the Chronicles of Narnia! :)

I just started re-reading Anne of Green Gables. I love all of the books in the series so much. :)
I've been wanting to re-reading LWW but with everything else I'm reading and re-reading this year it's not making the cut. :( Next year hopefully!

I reread Anne of the Island for Reading to Know's L.M. Montgomery Challenge. I treat myself to one Anne book a year. :) I hope you enjoy your reread!

I love that you had to wait for snow to read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe! I am the same way with certain books, including that one. Happy New Year!

Some books just need the right atmosphere. :)

I love that one, too! College life and a happy ending for Anne and Gilbert. Does it get any better?

It sounds like you've been indulging in some favourites for the start of the new year... I took the same route. I started the new year with Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult; whilst the book itself was new to me, Jodi Picoult is one of my favourite authors.

I've never read The Chronicles of Narnia series, something I hope to rectify in the future.

Winter in general seems like a good time for rereading favorite and revisiting favorite authors. You definitely need to read Narnia, Jade! They are wonderful books!
