It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

4/26/2015

Dewey's 24-hour Read-a-thon was this past weekend, and it was so much fun! A day spent reading and checking out others' blogs is such a luxury. I made it until 3:30 a.m. I was hoping to go the whole night, but I decided to be wise. Now I've just got to get caught up on my sleep somehow this week. Did any of you join in the fun of the read-a-thon this year?

What I Read Last Week

The Guardians by Ana Castillo
Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes (I haven't read this book since middle school. It was fun to revisit it during the wee hours of the read-a-thon.)
The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer (This book was based on the same concept as F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - a man starts out old and grows younger with time. It was an interesting and occasionally convoluted read.)

What I'm Reading Now

The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd (This is our book club book for this month, and I am absolutely loving it. Now I just need to finish it by our meeting on Friday. . .)
Rococo by Adriana Trigiani (The perfect book for a read-a-thon! I was just only able to get halfway through before I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.)

What's Coming Up Next

The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis (By the time I finish those two books, it will be May. And that means it'll be time for my next Narnia reread!)

Sounds like a couple of great reads, love it when its a book that just calls to be read on and on. Sign of a good one.

You're absolutely right. It's so much fun to get lost in a book!

The Invention of Wings was one of may favorites from last year. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it so much! Good job on the readathon! I only made it to 2am. At that point, I was re-reading the same sentences over and over so when I finished my book, I decided to throw in the towel and go to sleep!
