It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

My Recent Posts

There have been a lot of pictures of stacks of books on here this week. Between a trip to the library (my Library Loot post) and a used book sale (The Wonder of Library Book Sales), my house is getting more crowded by the day. But what better to fill it with than books?

I also posted a review of Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu this week.

What I Read Last Week

The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig (Very enjoyable! I also checked the sequel out of the library, although I think I may save it for last so I can spend more time anticipating it.)

What I'm Reading Now

The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession by Allison Hoover Bartlett

What's Coming Up Next

Probably The Lavender Garden by Lucinda Riley. It's on the top of my stack of library books, and that cover keeps drawing me in.

It was really interesting to get into the mind of a book thief. I hope you enjoy it!

Me, too! Lavender usually means France, and I can't resist a book set in France!

I really liked The Pink Carnation book too. I bought the rest of the series but they are still sitting on TBR mountain. Come see my <a href="http://inside-dog.blogspot.com/2013/10/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-oct-28.html">Monday Report</a>. Happy reading!

I have a feeling this is a series I'll be gradually collecting, too!

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on The Man Who Loved! It sounds really intriguing!

It was! So intriguing that I decided to finish it this afternoon instead of doing what I was supposed to be doing. Whoops. Ah, well. It's not the first time that's happened!

I know! And it's so hard to find that balance between wanting to know what happens next and not wanting the series to be over!
