It's Monday, What Are You Reading (125)

It's Monday, What Are You Reading is a fun weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey where we share what we've read and reviewed over the past week and what we plan to read next.

I read two books that I really liked and the struggled to find something to read next. Finally I decided to start Keeping Faith because it is a book group book and the month is flying by so the next book discussion meeting will be here in the blink of an eye. 

Even though it is a long weekend I didn't have much time to read as I spent time hanging out with my sister and helping her shop for Christmas decorations (yes, she is one of those people but it was a lot of fun). This week I hope to make progress with the book group books and do some reading for fun too.

 Books read:

Princess Elizabeth's Spy by Susan Elia MacNeal

I enjoyed this sequel to Mr. Churchill's Secretary but the mystery was a little predictable and at times I grew frustrated with Maggie because she didn't see the obvious. 

The Shadowy Horses by Susanna Kearsley

I loved this story! It was interesting to read about the history and archaeology but my favorite part was the romance :)

Books reviewed:

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein

Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier

Currently reading:

Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult

I am not a fan of this book so far. I find Mariah to be really whiny and annoying. Sometimes I love Jodi Picoult's books and sometimes I don't.

What I might read next:

Vessel by Sarah Beth Durst

I hope I get to this book soon! I've read really positive reviews of it and I liked the excerpt I read. It sounds like a unique fantasy novel.

The Walnut Tree by Charles Todd

I am looking forward to reading this book. It is a historical novel set during WWI and it is also a romance. The authors write two different mystery series that I want to try someday too.

Zeitoun by Dave Eggers

I do not want to read this book but I have to as it is a book discussion book. I wish I'd read it before I found out the truth about him (Zeitoun) and what kind of person he really is. 

Cinders and Sapphires by Leila Rasheed

I may not read this till next month since the book won't be published till January. I am eager to give it a try as it is set in the same time period as Downton Abbey and it features an interracial love interest.
