This weekly meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

Happy chain of events this week:
My town's Fall Festival was this weekend --> No school on Friday --> Unusually warm fall weather --> Time spent reading on the front porch --> One whole book finished this weekend!

What I'm Currently Reading

The Wicked Day by Mary Stewart (the fourth book in her King Arthur series)

What's Coming Up Next

Probably a trip to the library. I still need a few books to finish up some of my Reading Challenges this year. Does anyone have any ideas for an author's last name that starts with a U?

Sounds like you had a great week. I have read Mary Stewart's romantic suspense titles but not her Arthur series. You must be enjoying it if you are reading book 4. Come see my <a href="http://inside-dog.blogspot.com/2013/10/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-oct-7.html">Monday Report</a>. Have a great week!

It's been a few years since I read the first three in the series. Thankfully, the Arthurian legend is well-known enough that you can jump right in anywhere!

I haven't read Mary Stewart's Arthurian series but always been curious about it. I'll have to check your reviews and maybe I can track those down at the library. Following the Sun sounds kinda interesting too.

I really like the way her Arthurian books put it in a realistic historical context. She includes lots of details that make it seem more real. I recommend them!
