It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - Apr 19, 2010

Ah, once again it's Monday and time for my favorite meme hosted by Sheila at One Person's Journey Through A World of Books.  This is a great place to find out what other people are reading.

And for the first time in a post, I'm going to try out the Amazon Associates program.  Its pretty simple from what I understand - if you visit one of my links and purchase the item, I earn money off the sale.  Since I always link to Amazon anyways, I thought why not give it a try.

Last Week:

Well, I finally finished reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance - Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!   I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either and there were moments that had me laughing out loud but I definitely struggled through it, so much so that it might be a while before I read the "prequel" Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls (Quirk Classics: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) , if I read it at all.   This book did, however qualify as an Austenesque book for my T4MC, a challenge which I am loving!

Also for my T4MC, I read The Last Song which I really enjoyed!  It had me bawling like a baby and now I can go see the movie guilt free!  I prefer reading the book before seeing the movie.  IMHO, the book is always better!

I'm pages away from finishing another book for T4MC, (I'm on roll, what can I say?) Its my first Megan Hart read, Deeper.  I heard good things about it and I'm enjoying it but its definitely not a book you want your kids to pick up and read a few pages out of curiousity!

Next Up

My friend recommnded this series to me and purchased and read the first two and said she really enjoyed them!  Since soccer is my life, it sort of fits: Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom (Book 1)

After that, I'm not sure.  Maybe The 13th Apostle.  It all depends what tickles my fancy at the time.  

How about you?  What are you reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - April 4, 2010

I missed last week as I was on vacation but I'm back for this segment of What Are You Reading hosted by Sheila at One Person's Journey through A World of Books.

The Past:

- I finally finished reading Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. It was long but reasonably enjoyable.
- I also read Maze Runner which I had heard many good things about and while I liked it, I didn't like it as much as I expected too. Not enough character development for my liking maybe.
- I finally finished my first Kindle book too! The Peabody-Ozymandias Traveling Circus & Oddity Emporium and found it to be another excellent book dealing with The Otherness.

The Present:
- I started to read Beyond the Highland Mist by Karen Marie Moning and am enjoying it so far at 100 pages in. It is not only a time travel novel, but it is first in a series so satisfies 2 reading challenge requirements for me - boo-ya!

So...what have you been reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - Feb 22, 2010

It's the Monday, What Are You Reading - Olympic edition as in "I haven't been reading much because I can't lift my a** off the couch or unglue my eyes from the tv". Currently just waiting for Virtue & Moir to do their skate for Canada and go for the gold!!

This weekly meme is brought to you by Sheila at One Person's Journey Through A World of Books!

So with that, here's what I've been up to:

Currently Plowing Through:

I'm reading Axis by Robert Charles Wilson which is the sequel to Spin and while sci/fi is not usually my genre of choice, I enjoyed Spin more than I am enjoying Axis.

Next:

Stupidly, I gave my husband first crack at Jack: Secret Circles which would have been my next book but alas, I need to let him finish it first. Sigh. So, maybe the next Melissa Mayhue book, Highland Guardian which also is a book for my time travel challenge!

So, what are you reading this week?
