It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

8/12/2013

This weekly meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

My plan succeeded! I read almost a book a day last week, and my library books will be ready to return on Wednesday. If I finish this last one, that is. . . Looks like I'll have lots of time to read this morning while I'm waiting for the drywall people to show up!

The Little Women Letters looks like such a nice read. Your other books are good also, so you will have a fun time this week of reading. Enjoy!

The Little Women Letters was very enjoyable. The relationship between the sisters was so much fun to read!

The Little Women Letters looks awesome! I will have to check it out, I loved Little Women. I have actually been meaning to reread it.

The House at the End of Hope Street sounds really good too. I love Sarah Addison Allen, so I will have to pick it up.

I definitely recommend rereading Little Women before you read The Little Women Letters. I'm sure you'd get more out of it if you did! I didn't reread it, and I'm regretting that. It's a great book!

So many great covers! I would definitely say that The House at the End of Hope Street has a Sarah Addison Allen feel to it, but I don't really see the comparison to Fforde. Still, I really liked it! Enjoy your week!

How to Live safely... sounds so different and quirky, I may have to look into that one. Thanks for sharing!

It is such a great feeling of accomplishment when you take back a big stack of library books!

Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library looks like a lot of fun. I will have to look into it!
