It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

2/16/2015

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

Boy, I don't know what the temperature are like where you are today, but here they are cold! We had a high of zero degrees on Sunday, and subzero wind chills pretty much all weekend. We ran some errands Saturday evening (very romantic Valentine's Day, I know. Don't worry, we did plenty of fun things, too!), and it was such a shock to keep going from warm stores to the freezing outdoors. At times like this, I am so grateful to have a nice, warm house to live in!

What I Read Last Week

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens (This is my first Dickens book in quite awhile. My thoughts will be posted Thursday!)

What I'm Reading Now

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (I read this one a couple of years ago, but my book club decided to read it for our February selection, since half of our members had never read it before. I have no problem whatsoever rereading this fantastic book!)

What's Coming Up Next

I Kill the Mockingbird by Paul Acampora (Fits right in!)

I Kill the Mockingbird sounds great and no need to have read TKAMB.

I've had it on my TBR list for awhile, and this seemed like the perfect time to read it! :)

Oh, my goodness! -40? That's crazy cold. I'm glad it's "warming up" a bit for you!

I can't wait to hear your thoughts about Oliver Twist! I hope you enjoyed it. And I should definitely re-read To Kill a Mockingbird, especially in preparation for the sequel. :)

I did enjoy Oliver Twist. I'm looking forward to reading more Dickens. I think TKAM is one of those books I could reread every year and get something different out of it each time. I can't wait for the sequel to shed new light on it!

Oliver Twist was my first Dickens read. I read it after watching the musical version of it, which is quite different.

I can imagine that the musical version would be quite different indeed. I think Oliver Twist would be a good Dickens to start with. I haven't read much of his work yet, but it seems to be a more uncomplicated one.
