It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

12/14/2014

This weekly meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

I'm sure this week will be busy, but I was able to have a relaxing weekend to gear up for it. There was a lot of this going on Saturday and Sunday afternoons:

Two cats, one book, and a mug of hot chocolate. Perfect!

My Recent Posts

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison - my (sort of) review
Chunkster & Newbery Reading Challenges - Complete!
Books I Acquired in 2014 - and What I Did With Them (It just might be Christmas-themed. . .)

Love your cozy scenario with cats, books, and hot chocolate.

I must read Unbroken, but I may see the movie first...Yikes!

It was very cozy. You should definitely read Unbroken (before or after the movie - I'm sure there are details in the book that won't make it into the movie.) It's an absolutely incredible story. Even more so, because it's true!

It would have been more relaxing if my cats had left me room to sit on the chair. :) It was a blessing to be able to sit and just read for an afternoon!

I loved Unbroken but I'm not sure I want to see the movie. I loved his website and was so sad when he finally passed a couple of months ago.
Enjoy your books!
