It's Monday - What are you Reading?

 

  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.


  I only finished one book this week:  Room by Emma Donoghue.  I'm trying to figure out how to put my thoughts about it into words that make sense.  It is truly a wonderful novel.
 
  I participated in my first Book Blogger Appreciation Week and had fun.  I found a lot of new blogs to follow, added more books to the never-ending to read list, and learned things that I hope will improve my own blog.

  Books in progress: 
  I've started taking a French class on Saturdays to refresh my very rusty French skills, and ambitiously I took out a few French books from the Centre's library.  I don't know if I'll complete them, but it will be a good challenge.

  What are you reading this week?

    Stopping by to see what you're up to this Monday. Ulysses...wow. Big challenge. I read it once upon a time--and still can't say that I get it.

    Glad you enjoyed Room. I'm still waiting to acquire it. Too many books at the moment, but this is one I definitely want to read.

    Ulysses - well, only 50 pages left, that is amazing Good luck!

    I am working on ROOM now and hope to get some time this evening to dive into it. I hear that once you start you do not want to put the book down. :)

    Room is definitely un-putdownable -- I found myself over-extending my lunch break just to finish certain scenes.

    Ulysses has been a challenge but at least now I can (almost) say that I've finished it.

    NancyO - Merci beaucoup! Vous ecrivez tres bien! :-)

    Good luck finishing Ulysses! That's a book I've always been intimidated by.

What do you think? Good or bad, I'd love to hear from you (but be nice - I'm sensitive!)
