It's Monday, What Are You Reading (159)



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 didn't have as much time to read as I thought I would this past week. Lately I've been finishing 5 books a week but this time I only finished one that I worked on from Tuesday till this evening. I did spend the weekend visiting family which was a lot of fun. Maybe I'll have more time for reading this week.


Books reviewed:


The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas
Her Perfect Earl by Beth Pattillo


Books read:


The House of Hades by Rick Riordan

I thought this book was fantastic! I can't wait for the final book, The Blood of Olympus.


Currently reading:



I plan to make every effort to finish The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop and Cafe this week. We'll see how that goes. Last week my plans were derailed because I just had to read the new Percy Jackson book right away.


What I plan to read next:


Teatime for the Firefly by Shona Patel

I've already read a few chapters of this book and I really like it. I think I will learn a lot by reading it too. It is set in India in the 1940s so there is all this information about the political climate as well as the history of tea in Assam and what it was like to live on a tea plantation.

  2. I love it when a book shows up and forces a change of plans. I am that way with the latest J. D. Robb or Nora Roberts. Come see my Monday Report if you get a chance. Happy reading!

  3. I too read The House of Hades and totally loved it. Rated it 5 stars. Full of action and loved the humour and the wisdom shared.

  6. Rick Riordan knows how to write. What reluctant reader could resist Lightning Thief? Glad to know his new series is just as good.

    Here's my It's Monday!

  9. Wow...5 books a week - that's impressive. Usually I get 2 or 3 done a week. I hope you are enjoying The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop and Cafe - I've heard good things about it.

    Have a great week and thanks for stopping by my blog!

  12. I really should read the Percy Jackson series, I've always liked Greek mythology. My daughters both like it too, so I guess we should get with the program on these... :)
