It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

5/5/2014

This weekly meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

It's May! It's May! The flowers are blooming. The trees are giving out hints of green. The temperature is more or less warm. The days of reading out in the sun are just around the corner. . .

My Recent Posts

The Missing Manuscript of Jane Austen by Syrie James - Review
Smiling Shelves Soapbox - The Book That Got Away (Anyone else have one of those?)
My Man Jeeves & Aunts Aren't Gentlemen by P.G. Wodehouse (for the Reading to Know Book Club)

What I Read Last Week

La Bella Lingua by Dianne Hales (A fascinating history of the Italian language)

What I'm Reading Now

My Man Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse (I'm so close to being done with this audiobook! Half an hour to go!)

What's Coming Up Next

A Romance on Three Legs by Katie Hafner (This is probably the next book I'll read, though I'm not committing for sure! I've wanted to get to it for awhile, and this seems like a pretty good time.)

It does look pretty random when I list them like this, doesn't it? :) I hope you have a good week, Kathy!

I really, really, really want to read Longbourn, but I have to wait until I have more time to tackle something that heavy. I hope you enjoy your current reads!

I am going to have to finish La Bella Lingua! My own Italian class starts very soon - in about 6 weeks!

It did take me a little while to get into it because it wasn't quite what I expected. But then I found it absolutely fascinating. It'll be worth another try, Erin! ;)
