It's Monday, What Are You Reading (145)



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 only finished two books this past week but I am hoping to do a little more reading this week. Of course I will be spending the weekend with family for Mother's Day so I may not get as much reading accomplished. I have some review books and library books that I hope to get to soon.


Books read:


The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan (reread)


The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan (reread)



Books reviewed:


A Spear of Summer Grass by Deanna Raybourn


Currently reading:


Maid of Secrets by Jennifer McGowan

So far I like this book. It is part historical fiction and part spy novel. I wouldn't want to be in Meg's shoes!


What I plan to read next:


Nantucket Blue by Leila Howland


School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins

I liked Hex Hall and I am interested in this book about Sophie's young cousin Izzie. I've heard good things about it. I hope it will be funny like the other series.


Vanity Fare by Megan Caldwell



I think this book sounds like a fun, light and fluffy kind of read. Just what I'm in the mood for.  I'm also in the mood for cupcakes but I can't have them :( I guess I will just have to read about them instead!


A Perfect Proposal by Katie Fforde

I've never read any books by Katie Fforde but this sounds like a fun chick lit novel and I've heard good things about it.
