It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

8/18/2014

This weekly meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

It's Bout of Books week! Let the reading commence! (After my three-hour teacher meeting, lunch with my fellow teachers, and several hours of working in my classroom. . .) The craziness of August has begun. But I'll still get some reading time in!

My Recent Posts

The Word Exchange by Alena Graedon - Review
Bout of Books - Goals (I may be over-committing myself here, but I'll try!)

What I Read Last Week

The Painted Girls by Cathy Marie Buchanan
Imperfect Harmony by Stacy Horn (Music lovers will enjoy this book, especially if you've sung in a choir before.)
Wonder by R.J. Palacio (I loved, loved, loved this book. Find a copy and read it!)

What I'm Reading Now

A Constant Heart by Siri Mitchell (Christian fiction set in Queen Elizabeth's court. Very good so far!)

What's Coming Up Next

The Case of the Love Commandos by Tarquin Hall (With a title like that, who could resist?)

A Constant Heart sounds interesting! I like historical novels and have always enjoyed Elizabethan England.

A Constant Heart is very good so far. It's interesting to have the characters actually be part of Elizabeth's court. A different insight.

I don't know how you get so much reading done with the busy schedule of a teacher! :) I am enjoying my Lori Wick novel. I look forward to getting into bed early every night and just hate to turn the light off!
Thanks for sharing your list!

I fit it in whenever I can! I'm glad you're enjoying Lori Wick. You'd probably enjoy Siri Mitchell's books then, too.

Go Julie! I totally admire you in doing Bout of Books! You rock and I hope you meet all your goals! I love Siri Mitchell's books, but I haven't read this one yet (even though it's on my Kindle)! Excited to see if you like it or not! Hope you enjoy it! :)

Here's a link to my reading week if your interested:

I'm not doing very well on my Bout of Books goals so far, but it's still early in the week! I just recently discovered Siri Mitchell's books, but I've enjoyed everyone so far. I hope you like A Constant Heart when you have a chance to read it.

I've been interested in Wonder for sometime now but have never actually picked it up. Are you reviewing? I'd love to know your full thoughts on the book.

I am planning to write a review of Wonder. It was actually our book club selection for the month, and we're meeting tomorrow. I'll probably write up my review this week and post it sometime next week. Stay tuned! :)
