It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It's the last week of school! And it's June! In honor of that, I have to post a video of my favorite song from Carousel, mostly because the title is just so appropriate for today. Enjoy! :)

What I Read Last Week

Picture
Picture
The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais (I honestly did not like this book as much as I expected to. But I hear the movie is really good, so I'm still looking forward to watching that.)
Ivy Days: Making My Way Out East by Susan Allen Toth (If you like memoirs or college settings, this would be a good book for you.)

What I'm Reading Now

Picture
Sorcery & Cecelia, or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot by Patricia C. Wrede & Caroline Stevermer (The only thing that could make Georgette Heyer novels any better would be to add a sprinkling of magic. Enter this series. I am loving this book so far!)

What's Coming Up Next

Picture
The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis (Since it is now June, it's time for the next book in my Narnia reread!)

What order do you read the Narnia books in?

I'm a huge advocate for publication order (I have a feeling you might be the same. . .). All the cool aha! moments in The Magician's Nephew get spoiled if you read it before LWW. Publication order all the way! :)

I am interested to hear what you think of the movie, especially since you weren't a huge fan of the book. It will be a kind of switcheroo if you like the movie better!

I'm curious to see if I'll like it any better than the book, too. I don't know if the aspects that bothered me about the book will be solved by putting it in movie form. . . I'm eager to find out!

Enchanted Chocolate Pots! That sounds like something I would like to have. I might have to look into that book. :)

Sorcery & Cecelia is an awesome book! And I agree - an enchanted chocolate pot would be a nice thing to have around. :)

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
