This weekly meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

Happy Easter Monday! I hope you had an awesome Easter celebration with your Lord and with your family!

My Recent Posts

These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer - Review (One of my all-time favorite authors)
The Color of Rain by Michael & Gina Spehn - Review (What a powerful book!)

What I Read Last Week

Aunts Aren't Gentlemen by P.G. Wodehouse (Wodehouse always provides a fun read!)

What I'm Reading Now

My Man Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse (This one will probably show up on my It's Monday! posts for a few weeks. It takes me awhile to get through an audiobook, even one as enjoyable as this one!)
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows (Our book club is meeting this Friday night, but I know I'll have no problem finishing this one in time. What a great story!)

What's Coming Up Next

My Venice and Other Essays by Donna Leon (I'm visiting Venice this summer, and I love reading about places before I get there. This book was the perfect find at the library!)

It's a great book in general. I really enjoyed it, and I'm sure the other members of my book club did too!

I love These Old Shades and Devil's Cub too. They are my favorites by Heyer. I have heard great things about Guernsey and even bought a copy but it is so far out of the types of books I read that I haven't gotten to it. I need a book club to give me a push. <a href="http://inside-dog.blogspot.com/2014/04/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-april_21.html">Come see what I read last week.</a> Happy reading!

I haven't read Devil's Cub yet, but I really enjoyed These Old Shades. You should definitely give Guernsey a try (especially since you own it). It's a great book!

Wodehouse x2! Sounds like fun.

My Man Jeeves is the first book in the series, and Aunts Aren't Gentlemen is the last. It's been really interesting to compare and see what changed in Wodehouse's style over the years.

I think I have to give in and finally read The Gurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It seems like everyone has read it and loved it!

You should definitely read it, Lindsey. I knew it would be a good story, but it was so much more than I was expecting. I loved it, and I'm sure you would enjoy it, too!

I hope you are enjoying the Guernsey book. I read that for my book club choice a few years ago.

Have a wonderful rest of the week.
