It's Monday! What Are You Reading? & Mailbox Monday

 

Hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.  We share books that we've read over the past week and those we hope to read this week.  

Last Week:
I'm slowly emerging out of my reading funk...thank goodness!  I'm still working on Doc but I managed to finish another Heyer book and two graphic novels:

This Week:
I'd like to finish Doc by Mary Doria Russell.  Then, hopefully I'll read some of these titles:




Mailbox Monday is a touring meme where book bloggers share their bookish acquisitions from the week prior.  It is hosted this month by Bluestocking.

This week I made quite a few purchases!  I bought:

A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
 

Consider the Lobster and Other Essays by David Foster Wallace
 

The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm by Nancy Farmer (a childhood fav)


The Curfew by Jesse Bell

    I have a copy of DOC and want to read it soon too, but it's a little long for right now. I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts. Enjoy your new books!

    You have some good books there! I am hoping to read A Visit from the Goon Squad for the Goodreads Book Club. I just need to squeeze it in somewhere.

    Wow, these look great. I especially want to read the Octavian Nothing books, so I'll be looking forward to seeing what you have to say about it. It'll be a little while til I can get to it. The Seamstress has a pretty cover!
