It's Monday - What are you Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at bookjourney to allow us to share with others in the book-loving cyberworld what is on our reading plates.
This week I finished the following books:
The Fatal Englishman: Three Short Lives by Sebastian Faulks
Promises to Keep by Jane Green (reviewed here)
Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea by Guy Delisle (recommended by Rebecca)
Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie (reading along with lisa)
Books in Progress:
Ulysses by James Joyce
We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver (recommended by Becky at Page Turners and Boof at The Book Whisperer)
I have two book group discussions next week so I will also need to get that reading done, but they are both short books and re-reads (The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and The Stranger) so they should not take too long.
In blogging news, I went on my first blog hop this week and discovered some great new blogs and found new followers. I think I am starting to get the hang of this ......
What are you reading this week?
The Guernsey Literary... is our book club selection for next month. We read The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon this month -- it was great.
ReplyDeleteHi there! Midnight's Children is awesome. Have you read his Shalimar the Clown? I loved that book.
ReplyDeleteJess -- I haven't read The Angel's Game yet but I have read Shadows of the Wind by Zafon and enjoyed it. Guernsey is a wonderful book and I can't wait to re-read it.
ReplyDeleteNancy -- Midnight's Children is the first Rushdie novel I've read but I do have a few on my to-read shelf at home (Shalimar the Clown isn't one of them, but I'll have to check that one out as well).
I hope you enjoy We Need To Talk About Kevin. I read this years ago and it packs quite a message.... it still stays with me. have a wonderful week :)
ReplyDeleteThe Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society sounds like an interesting book - I've come across it a few times, but have yet to pick it up.
ReplyDeleteYour book choices are so eclectic and interesting! I'm adding myself as a follower.
