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 Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown
- The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee
- The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby
- Something Missing by Matthew Dicks
- The Gathering by Anne Enright
- Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick
- Of Hockey and Hijab: Reflections of a Canadian Muslim Woman by Sheema Khan
- A Man in Uniform by Kate Taylor
- Clara and Mr. Tiffany by Susan Vreeland
What are you reading this week?
You've been reading some great books. Don't worry about abandoning books, if it doesn't click, why make yourself continue?
ReplyDeleteRecently, I gave up after 30 pages of a 90 page book. Yes! It was SO boring, I couldn't stand another 60 pages of it. :-)
All the books you read this past week are all ones I am reading, am planning to read, or want to read!!
ReplyDeleteI also have a problem abandoning books and will stick it out even though I know I am not enjoying myself.
Ditto Leeswammes on DNF books--it seems like a waste of time slogging through a book you don't enjoy when there are so many left to start reading! Congrats on a fantastic week :)
ReplyDeleteI am really interested in reading Weird Sisters and The Gathering looks goo too. Have great week!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great list here. I've seen a lot of favorable reviews of The Weird Sisters. I think I may have to get that one. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI forced myself to get through The Gathering so I think that is why I had less patience with Clara & Mr.Tiffany. I will try it again.
ReplyDeleteHockey and Hijab looks good
