It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

1/11/2016

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

It finally snowed! We haven't had a good snowstorm here since just before Thanksgiving. The roads are not fun to be out on, but it's a perfect time to be reading a good book in a warm, cozy house!

What I'm Reading Now

Anne of Windy Poplars by L.M. Montgomery (I'm kind of unofficially participating in Reading to Know's L.M. Montgomery Challenge this month. It gives me a good excuse to revisit Anne once a year.)
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (As I mentioned in my post, I'm going to be putting my weekly progress here so that I have all of you to hold me accountable. I successfully completed my first week of reading - 105 out of 1,361 pages done!

Good luck with "War and Peace"! The only Tolstoy I've read is "Anna Karenina"--which was interesting enough, but man....that was a long book!

I'm going to need all the luck I can get! I read Anna Karenina, too, back in college. I don't remember much about it, other than it was really long. . . Hopefully I get more out of War and Peace. :)

It's surprisingly not a reread for me. I just never got into them when I was a kid, so it's about time that I read them! There's a read-along happening this year. My sign-up post goes up tomorrow. You might be interested in joining in! :)

Yay for snow! We got a ton more overnight here. It is so pretty and fluffy. I am going to try to get some good reading in during a certain baby's nap time today.

So Many Books looks amazing! Lol. And I feel the author's pain - I will have to read it!
