It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

3/16/2015

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

It hit 50 degrees this week! And there are little green things peeking up in my garden - the first hint of spring daffodils. There's still snow piled up in some places, but it finally seems spring-like!

It's been on my Classics Club list for awhile, so I decided it was finally time to read it! :)

Great haul of books! Love in the time of cholera is one of those that has been on my radar forever, but I still haven't read it. Hope you enjoy it.

Love in the Time of Cholera is one of those books I mean to read, but just haven't gotten to it yet. I hope you're enjoying it!

I know what you mean. I've wanted to read it for years. Then I finally found a copy at a used book sale, and decided it was time! :) It's great so far!

I have 100 Years of Solitude sitting on my shelf. I can't believe I haven't read any Marquez yet. How are you liking Love In The Time of Cholera so far?

It's taken me awhile to get used to Marquez's style - a lot of telling, and very little dialogue. Now that I've adjusted my expectations, though, I'm really getting invested in the lives of the characters. I'm definitely enjoying so far!
