It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

This weekly meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
Welcome to March! The sun may be shining more often, but the snow continues - another two inches last night. Our driveway is so coated in ice, it's hard to stop before you get to the road. And while I love cozy winter afternoons reading in my library, I am more than ready for a day spent reading out in the sun with a glass of lemonade by my side. Maybe we'll get some spring-like weather one of these months.

I read the entire Little House series a few years back for the very first time! Enjoyed them. Oooo! I really like The Help. I think you will too! I had to watch the movie afterwards (it was good too but not as good as the book)

I'm really excited about reading the rest of the Little House series, now that I've finally dived into it! I've seen the movie of The Help - kind of. It was on an airplane, and the audio only worked half the time, so it doesn't really count. I'm looking forward to comparing the book and the movie for real.

I think I've said this before, but you read an eclectic mix of books.
Happy Reading!
:-)

I don't think of myself as an eclectic reader, but I see what you mean when I look back at this post! Fiction, nonfiction, children's, YA. That's what is so fun about reading! :)

I've heard a lot of people say that the Little House series is one they keep coming back to. I'm sure I'll do that once I read them all for the first time!

Yeah March seems just like February so far- it's like 0 degrees here at the moment. But it has to end right??

The Little House books are definetly classics.

Hopefully winter will end one of these months! The Little House series is a classic. I can't believe I missed out on it all these years!

    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.
