It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

2/2/2015

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

As I write this on Sunday afternoon, I am happy to report that it is SNOWING! Finally! The predictions of how much snow we are supposed to get vary widely. I would be okay if it resulted in a snow day, but right now I'm just enjoying the beautiful view from my library window.

What I Read Last Week

Balance: A Story of Faith, Family, and Life on the Line by Nik Wallenda (Did you know this guy just did a tightrope walk between two towers in Chicago blindfolded??)
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (Always a fun reread.)

What I'm Reading Now

The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements by Sam Kean (Cause I'm a geek and I love books like this. :)

What's Coming Up Next

Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis (I'm rereading a Narnia book each month, and since it is now February, I'm on to the next one!)

Those are all so many of my childhood favorites. I wanted to re-read The Chronicles of Narnia this year but there wasn't room admit my myriad of other books... Hopefully next year.

I've been wanting to reread Narnia for awhile, and your challenge gave me the perfect excuse. :) It's been fun to revisit these. I hope you get a chance soon!

I actually haven't read Little Women - I feel like I missed out! I should go back and read it finally.

You definitely should! It's not particularly deep literature, but it's fun to spend time with the March family. :)

I've come across The Disappearing Spoon somewhere before and thought it sounded like a cool read. I hope you got your snow day! Enjoy your week!

We did get a snow day, and I spent most of it reading The Disappearing Spoon. :) It's a fascinating book!

I saw Wallenda do his latest walk and it was pretty amazing!

Hooray for Narnia. I hope you enjoy meeting Caspian again! :)

Rereading Prince Caspian has been interesting. Apparently I've watched the movie too many times. I've been surprised at the differences between the movie and the book. The book is better, of course! :)

It sounds like you're enjoying some rereads - Little Women is a great winter reread, so cosy!

I've never read The Chronicles of Narnia but am hoping to rectify that in the future. Enjoy your upcoming reads!
