It's Monday! What Are You Reading?



I didn't get as much reading done last week as I'd hoped so I didn't finish a book. However, I did have author Jennie Shortridge as a guest last Monday. [You can read it here] She wrote a very interesting piece about food and how it has played a part in her books. Since my blog is a mix of food and books I thought it was great of her to write such a post. I'm believing this week will be a more productive reading week though. I'm pretty excited about the books I'm reading. . .

I'm in the middle of Karen White's THE HOUSE ON TRADD STREET and it is proving to be as good as I'd hoped it would be. I've never before read anything by this author and I'm asking myself Why? I love her writing, with its wit, that I didn't expect in this book. I will definitely be back-tracking and reading her other novels.

The other book I picked up Saturday and will begin reading this week is JANEOLOGY by Karen Harrington. I don't know why it's taken me so long to read this book, but I'm really looking forward to it, especially since her second book is just around the corner!
Well, that's what I have planned for the week and I don't see it changing. What are your reading plans for the week? This weekly meme is hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog, so be sure to pop over there to see what other book lovers are reading this week!

  3. Janeology has been sitting by my bed for a while now and I'm sad to say I don't know why it's taken me so long to read it either. I had such good intentions for this year but they are already falling by the wayside. lol. Enjoy your books.
