It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

3/14/2016

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

It's starting to feel like spring here in Michigan! The weather is warmish, and it rained all day Sunday. It's so nice to be able to go for a walk again. Also in my weekly highlights - I finally gave in and bought an adult coloring book. I only have half of one picture completed so far, but it has definitely renewed my love of coloring!

What I Read Last Week

The Castle of Llyr by Lloyd Alexander (Love this series!)
The Kite Fighters by Linda Sue Park (Our March read for the Reading Together book club.)
Fairest by Marissa Meyer (It's always interesting to get a behind-the-scenes look at the villain.)

What I'm Reading Now

My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante (After two months, my hold finally came in at the library!)
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (I crossed over the 1,000 page mark this week! I have now read 1,050 pages out of 1,361!)

What's Coming Up Next

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion (This is actually a reread for me, but it's our next book club book. I remember really enjoying it the first time around, so I certainly don't mind reading it again!)

I've been meaning to read the sequel to the Rosie Project -- I wouldn't mind re-reading the first though, I enjoyed it as well the first time around :)

I was really glad when we picked it for book club so I would have a chance to reread it so soon! :)

I had heard so many good things about Ferrante's series that I couldn't wait any longer to give it a try! :)

Oh, I hope you like The Rosie Project when you get to it. I loved it (the sequel, not so much....)

The Rosie Project is a reread for me, so I'm confident I'll enjoy it. I've heard some disappointment with the sequel, but I'm still game to give it a try. Maybe more realistic expectations will give me a better read. :)
