It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

What a fun weekend! Friday night, my husband and I went out for dinner and did some shopping. Saturday was Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon, which was awesome! Sunday included a drive to see some fall colors and the making of purple mashed potatoes (no food coloring used - the potatoes are purple!). It's been a wonderful weekend, but now we're back to Monday morning. Here we go for another week!

My Recent Posts

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden - Review
Dewey's Read-a-thon Updates (Complete with cameo appearances by my cat, Pevensie)

What I Read Last Week

The Queen of the Big Time by Adriana Trigiani (I enjoyed this one, but not as much as I've enjoyed her Big Stone Gap series)
Zoobreak by Gordan Korman (Fun middle grade novel)
Criss Cross by Lynne Rae Perkins (A Newbery winner I enjoyed very much!)
The Man Who Ate the 747 by Ben Sherwood (Random selection off my shelves for the read-a-thon. Can never tell with books you randomly pick up at library book sales, but this one was quite good!)

What I'm Reading Now

I was alternating between chapters of two books (one fiction; one nonfiction) to keep me on my toes during the read-a-thon. But I only got halfway through each of these books, and I'm really a one-book-at-a-time kind of girl. Now I don't know what to do! Do I keep alternating? Ignore one, and finish the other first? Decisions, decisions!

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson

What's Coming Up Next

I'm not 100% certain, but I'm thinking probably this:

Jesus by Walter Wangerin
